Most of the time, eating a sizable chunk of cheese in one sitting is unthinkable — and usually pretty unhealthy. But we discovered something recently that made us feel a little better about it.

At Alexandria’s outpost of Russian Gourmet, a specialty store carrying all manner of Eastern European and Russian grocery items, we picked up four varieties of chocolate-covered cheesecake bars. And lest you think this is purely a Russian treat, we managed to snag a Latvian and Lithuanian version of this sweet for our dessert stash.

Imagine a farmer’s cheese with the airy consistency of cheesecake, fashioned into small rectangular portions, covered with a light coating of dark chocolate. That’s the basic framework of this Eastern European bonbon, which can be eaten in two or three bites. The fun comes with the flavorings.
