"It’s not Christmas without some holiday pie. Emporium has a lot of them on offer, naturally. The seasonal pies include theFather Christmas, which is a white chocolate peppermint cream pie in a dark chocolate cookie crust; the Merry Berry, which lands somewhere between a sugar cookie and a cranberry muffin; the Hot Cake: a buttermilk pie layered with house-made salted maple caramel; and the Snowball, a coconut custard topped with crunchy toasted coconut. There are also the usuals, including the Drunken Nut and Dapper Apple. Order online by December 14 to ship. Local delivery is also available but spaces are limited." - Courtney E. Smith

"It’s tough to find a better pecan pie than Emporium’s Drunken Nut. The secret ingredient isn’t love, it’s bourbon. Bourbon and a load of butter, because it’s made without any corn syrup — a rarity in pecan pie land." - Courtney E. Smith
"This local favorite pie-maker introduces its seasonal Death by Chocolate pie, with all the best Halloween candy bars inside a brownie chess pie. Those include Snickers, Milky Way, Reese’s chocolate cups, and Twix, all inside a chocolate crust and topped with chocolate cookie crumbles." - Courtney E. Smith
