Wherever taco trucks fear (well, can’t afford) to tread, there is a dearth of cheap, good snacks. But a new stand on the main drag at Pike Place Market offers some little treats in the right size at the right price.

It’s called The Confectional, and it came from New Zealand, where the owner used to live and operate a similar shop. The Confectional specializes in cheesecake, and there are many alluring flavors, but what keeps me coming back is the fact that nearly all of the cheesecakes are available in three sizes: full, individual, and truffle. The latter is two bites of cheesecake enrobed in chocolate, for $1.50. It’s fair to say that I can’t imagine ever wandering through the market and not wanting one of these (so far I’ve tried the mochaccino and the mint cookie). In no way are they elegant or refined: they’re the candy equivalent of a hot fudge sundae, and good for them.

I should give a shout out to eGullet’s seawakim, a talented amateur chocolatier who introduced me to cheesecake in a truffle several years ago.
