Some of us stick by our new year’s resolutions to cut out sweets. Then there’s the rest of us, happy to break them in the name of a sinfully sweet dessert.

Resolutions oftentimes start breaking around February. With that in mind, this month’s Where to Eat is dedicated to five new spots in and around Fort Worth with excellent desserts.

Here's where to eat for February:

Bricks and Horses
For dessert and a show, look no further than the in-house restaurant at the new Bowie House hotel in the Museum District. The ranch-themed restaurant’s signature desserts are the housemade pies, in flavors such as sweet potato, dutch apple, and chocolate pecan mud pie. Their delivery is a showy affair: They’re wheeled out on a cart, then topped, tableside, with your choice of toppings: whiskey caramel, chocolate shavings, candied pecans, glazed pepitas, and whipped chantily. Other dessert options include pineapple banana nut cake, their rendition of hummingbird cake; a built-for two banana split made with carmelized bananas; and a fruit salad with champagne whipped custard.

Churro On Top
Opened last year in Arlington’s Arbrook Oaks Shopping Center, at 3810 S. Cooper St. #116, this independently owned spot offers decadent takes on the popular Spanish pastry. Churro On Top serves its churros traditionally, simply dusted with cinnamon sugar, or tricked out with any number of sweet glazes, including chocolate, cookie butter, and cream cheese, and toppings like peanut butter chips and red velvet cake crumbs. Those with calories and a few more bucks to spare can spring for the churro milkshakes, made with specialty churros plus your choice of ice cream.

Jars Sweets and Things By Fabio Viviani
Dessert-in-a-jar concept from celebrity chef Fabio Viviani recently opened its first location in Texas in Fort Worth’s Tanglewood neighborhood, near Tom Thumb at 3000 S. Hulen St. #150, in the Trinity Commons shopping center. Four more locations are slated for the Dallas area. The jarred desserts come in two sizes and include tres leches cake with salted caramel and strawberries; tiramisu with Nilla Wafers - a strange combo, very Fabio-like; Oreo cookies and cream; and German chocolate cake. There’s also soft-serve ice cream, hot chocolate, and fruit drinks.

Sol Y Luna Snow Ball
This long-running Mexican shaved ice and dessert shop recently moved into bigger digs at 2401 NW 25th St., on Fort Worth’s north side, a good reason to revisit. Their signature item is a snow ball, similar to a snow cone but made with soft, shaved ice, and they’re served year-round, even in colder months. There are traditional snow balls, in dozens of flavors, which can be accented with nuts, fruits, and syrups. But the big attraction are the snow balls that come topped and stuffed with Twinkies, Nutty Buddy bars, scoops of ice cream, Swiss Rolls, and other candies and pastries.

Tracy’s Irresistible Desserts
Mansfield’s booming restaurant scene includes this independently run dessert spot at 222 N. Walnut Creek Dr., opened last year by Tracy McCray, who started her sweet eats biz in a food truck. Her signature dessert is cheesecake, served whole, by the slice, or in “bites,” in decadent flavors such as Nutella, double strawberry, banana pudding, chocolate chip cookie dough, white chocolate raspberry, and bourbon peach cobbler; some are gluten-free or sugar-free. Other desserts include tres leches cake, creme brulee, and rotating poundcakes.
