We’ve reviewed Lake Champlain Chocolates numerous times. They never stop creating new products, recently introducing an organic line. Now, Lake Champlain Chocolates has introduced a holiday line of chocolate ranging from tempting chocolate assortments to foil-wrapped gelt (or, coins). Golden Chocolate Coins Gift Box contains milk and dark chocolate coins wrapped in decorative gold and copper foil. For the chocolate sensualist, a box of silky-smooth truffles may be in order.

These Peanut Butter Balls by Jer’s Handmade was a favorite of ours and we wrote a review a few months ago. We still love them and think it would make a perfect gift for any friend who loves peanut butter.
Max Brenner, “Chocolate By The Bald Man,” has landed in New York from Israel and is making waves with his fun and tasty concept restaurant/chocolate shops. If you can’t get to the stores, the chocolate will come to you. There are lots of choices for kids, but we personally love the sophisticated bon bons, in traditional as well as cutting-edge flavors like praline cream with cornflakes, dark cherry ganache with cherry liqueur, praline cream with roasted coconut.

Winner of “Best of Show” and “Best New Snack Food” at this year’s KosherFest, Najla’s Gone Nuts is a light nut mix for people who like to snack. Najla, whose chocolate chip cookies we also highly recommended (and reviewed in this month’s issue), mixed together almonds, macadamias, pecans and walnuts with a gentle blend of spices. It’s healthy too, containing no butter, oil, or trans fat.
We’ve seen it all, but we just go crazy for this flowering tea set. Leaves of Chinese tea are specially tied into balls and buds by local craftspeople. Drop them into boiling water and they “bloom” into beautiful flowers...and steep into delicious tea. A gift that dazzles as well as brings great pleasure to any tea-lover.
