Dale & Thomas:
Chocolate Overload Popcorn
Dale & Thomas popcorn is welcomed by the sophisticated palate. It’s not oversweetened and is elegant enough that it can become a light dessert or a garnish for ice cream. With 17 flavors to choose from, Dale & Thomas makes it easy with a selection of 6-pack samplers. The “Chocolate Overload” gift box comes with Dark Fudge With Praline Almonds, Chocolate Chunk N’Caramel, Peanut Butter & White Chocolate, Twice-As-Nice Chocolate, Double Chocolate and Black & White Biscotti. There are savory options too, such as Blazing Buffalo and Southwest Cheddar Chipotle and White Cheddar Black Peppercorn. We never met a flavor we didn’t like.

Enstrom’s:
Dark & Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee
A Nibble Top Pick Of The Week, Enstrom’s delicious American-style almond toffee hits the jackpot. It’s very buttery but not too rich, sweet but not too sweet, crunchy but pliant (no dental work is in jeopardy) and is our absolute favorite toffee. The Toffee Popcorn is a luxury as well. And, BOTH TOFFEE AND POPCORN ARE AVAILABLE SUGAR-FREE and are equally delicious. While peppermint bark isn’t a traditional Hanukkah gift, Enstrom’s is the best.

Cookies & More

Harry And David:
Personalized Dreidel Cookies
These 4-inch frosted sugar cookies are soft as shortbread: a far cry from the hard, dry versions we’ve had that look similar. You can order them plain or personalized with the name of your giftee. At $29.95 for six of these toothsome treats, you can afford to give them to all your friends.

Gourmet Taffy
Sweet’s is our favorite taffy. Beautifully boxed for gift-giving, it is also naturally flavored—with a choice of 13 different flavors and combinations. This is the best price-value gift we’ve come across—no one would believe the gorgeous box isn’t $10 instead of $4.25, the actual price.

Woodhouse Chocolate:
Chocolate Dreidel
This chocolate dreidel is the only item on our list that is NOT KOSHER—but it’s just too cute to leave out! Made by one of our favorite chocolatiers (read the review), the 4-1/2-inch tall hollow dreidel can be had in white, milk or dark chocolate. You may not be able to play with this dreidel, but it would make a great “grand prize” for the winner of the game.
