Belgian Chocolate Monoply Games, Pancake Cookies, Spreadable Bacon, DIY Pizza Kits AND Tequilla?! I must’ve made Santa’s ‘Nice’ List.
Who loves to eat? Everyone of course and during the holidays is when we get to indulge on all the wonderful things our families cook and bake. I put together a little list of great eats I found for the gift guide.
I’ve got a little bit of a buffet going here with fun chocolates, tequila, spreads, pizza and even a cookie recipe from pancake mix…go figure. Hope you find something to satisfy your taste buds.
Chocolate Monopoly Board Games – available @Amazon.com –$9.99 – $12.99
You read that right. Chocolate board games. Gamesformation has taken things to a whole ‘nother level! Now, not only can you claim Park Place as your property, you can also eat it. Finally Candyland really is a Candyland. This is such a great idea for the board game fanatic or as a family treat for game night.
I had to see these in person to believe them and was so overjoyed when I received the package that contained Monopoly,Scrabble, Guess Who? And of course, my favorite, Candyland.
This is a fun gift that will have people talking for days, when their mouth isn’t full of the finest Belgian chocolate.
You can find the chocolate board games at CVS, Target or Amazon.com
Bacon Jams – thebaconjams.com — $10-$30
Spreadable bacon? Oh hell yeah, it’s going to be on my holiday gift guide. This is like a dream come true. I had a friend say, ‘I’d spread it on my….bacon’.
These are the perfect holiday gift for the dad that loves to BBQ and well as the mom that loves to cook. It’s available in many delicious flavors.
They say that the Black Pepper and Honey is one the most popular flavors so, if you can’t decide that’s a safe bet. Actually, the sampler 3-pack gift set that I received is probably your best bet. Might as well have a few options.
Enjoy the deliciousness as you spread it on your burgers or your vegetables or hey, on your bacon (this is a no judge zone)
Jenni Rivera La Gran Señora Tequila – 3crownsimports.com — $49.99
Okay, now it’s grown folk time. From what I was told, this tequila was approved by Jenni Rivera and is a celebration of her life. This is a great gift for her fans as a collector’s item and also for the tequilia afficianado.
I’m not a tequila drinker myself, but, I did taste it and it has a really smooth taste and a very nice aroma. I’ll leave it to the experts to describe it in the paragraph below.
The smooth taste of Jenni Rivera La Gran Señora Tequila provides an aroma of light and fresh agave with hints of citrus fruit. Developed, tasted, and approved by the Mexican-American Diva herself, this tequila is a great choice for refreshing margaritas in the sun, taking celebratory shots, or sipping on the rocks for a casual evening.
