It’s a sad truth: Adorable mini things typically don’t taste nearly as good as their full-size counterparts — as evidenced by Costco products and many a wedding reception hors d’oeuvre.
Sliders never pack the same satisfaction as a single juicy burger and inevitably suffer from too much bun and too little beef. Tiny takes on pizza, from Combos to Bagel Bites, only faintly offer the pleasure of an actual slice of pizza. Cupcakes — whether full- or mini-size — might be adorable to the Carrie Bradshaws of the world, but eating an actual slice of cake with a knife and fork is far more decadent.
And yet, there’s a new entry in the mini food world that shouldn’t work — yet it does. Bantam Bagels are doughnut-hole-size bagel balls filled with flavored cream cheese. They sound gimmicky, but they are delicious and as satisfying as a traditional bagel with a thick schmear of cream cheese — sans the carb coma that follows eating a full-size bagel.
