INSIDE SCOOP

Kelly’s Gluten-Free Pumpkin Caramel Cupcake, Burlington Biting into one of these cupcakes from Kelly’s Bake Shoppe in Burlington is a deliciously virtuous experience thanks to their recipe and their pedigree; moist, with the ideal gooey caramel centre and a hint of spice, they are gluten-free and nearly guilt-free! kellysxo.com

Voyageurs’ Blueberry Crisp, Sault Ste. Marie

Served warm and topped with a scoop of ice cream, the berry-rich crisp at The Voyageurs’ Lodge & Cookhouse north of Sault Ste. Marie helps keep the autumn chill from your bones. Every spoonful serves up equal parts ooey-gooey baked blueberries with crunchy oats and nuts plus a hint of cinnamon. voyageurslodge.com

STAFF PICK Urban Parisian Brown Butter Chocolate ToffeeCookie, Port Dover

Kaiserhaus Bistro Apple Strudel, Port Dalhousie For a true taste of eastern Europe in Ontario, try the strudel at this authentic bistro in Port Dalhousie. Firm Granny Smith apples, sugar and cinnamon are cooked and then rolled in paper-thin pastry dough dusted with raw sugar. Served with a dollop of whipped cream, this crispy, flaky treat is light but decadent. kaiserhaus.ca

This treat from Port Dover ele­ vates the everyday chocolate cookie by using brown butter and adding chunks of toffee to the mix. Chocolatey and sweet, with golden toffee notes, this hand-held goodie is one you won’t want to share. urbanparisian.com
