The perfect gift for your favorite Frequent-Flyer-with-Taste-Buds: Mobile Foodie Survival Kit.

Never suffer from bland road food again!

Packaged in a slim aluminum tin, with a key to which is which.

This would also be convenient for people who rent beach/mountain houses with kitchens; just throw this together with ingredients you pick up at the nearest grocery store and get cookin’.

Jo’s Candies: Toffee Nuggets and Peppermint Crunch

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

I like homemade treats, but candy can be difficult to make. Plus Jo’s Candies certainly is better with a candy thermometer than I (or even Dan of Candy Addict).

A box of Toffee Nuggets comes with 3 milk chocolate and 3 dark chocolate toffees, covered in almonds. One box for $12.75, two boxes for $20.

Peppermint Crunch involves white chocolate that is mixed with peppermint oil and covered dark chocolate. One 9-ounce tin goes for $17.00.

They don’t skimp on the chocolate and they’re perfect with a cup of hot cocoa or a tall glass of cold milk.
