We’ve seen restaurants and food brands really get into the merch game over the past few years and now the iconic New York restaurant, Junior’s is putting out merch in the form of a candle. The restaurant has teamed up with Literie to make adelicious-smelling candle.

The candle is based on the restaurant’s most well-known dessert and is named A Slice of Strawberry Cheesecake. The scent is berries and cream and includes notes of vanilla, strawberry, and cream cheese. Yum!

The cheesecake-scented candle comes in a box that looks exactly like the classic Junior’s striped box, has a frosted white jar, and includes a single wick.

If you can’t get to New York City and enjoy a slice of Junior’s cheesecake yourself, this is the next best thing. Now you can have your home smelling like a delicious cheesecake. Who doesn’t want that? Although, you may want to have some kind of dessert nearby because this candle is sure to make you hungry.
