An Ode to the Berger Cookie


If you thought Maryland was known only for its crab cake you clearly haven’t stumbled onto the Berger cookie yet.  I’d been in Baltimore about a year before I made this diet busting yummy discovery, and I still can’t believe it took me that long to try it.  

Simple in its design, unexpected in its deliciousness, the Berger cookie has been a Baltimore favorite for over a hundred years. The vanilla wafer dipped in rich chocolate fudge seemed perfect enough. How could anyone improve on this?

Can you believe it? Someone did. Dangerously Delicious Pies has opened in Canton and introduced its Baltimore Bomb pie.

This pie should come with a warning.

“Beware. This truly is Dangerously Delicious and we will single handedly expand the waistline of all Berger loving Baltimorians with this pie. Handle with Care.”

Dangerously Delicious’s owner Rodney Henry, has created this incredible new crack….I’m sorry…pie packed full of Berger Cookies, melted and swirled into an amazingly sweet and creamy vanilla chess filling. I’m telling you I gained 10 pounds just looking at this pie.



And I don’t care! It was amazing. A small slice will do you but you have to do it. Try it warm. Try it cold. But try it!

My ass might hate you, Henry, but your ode to Berger is worth every calorie.

This pie has made Christmas easy. Baltimore Bomb for everyone! My mother will curse me while she licks the pie plate clean.

And hey, when you’re dropping in for your bomb, stick around and enjoy the music. Dangerously Delicious doesn’t just pay homage to Berger. It’s a pretty rockin place, showcasing some great bands. Check out their Facebook page for more information....and Weight Watchers help me, you can follow their pie truck on Twitter.
