They are back. Inside this very classic pry-top can are minty-fresh mints, all wrapped individually. So you can steal a couple for your pocket or purse, seal it back up, and give them away. And no one will know.

Or, skip the giving away and throw the can in the car for that long trip to the country when holiday traffic is so bad.

Uncle Joe’s mints "Keep you all aglow!" These are made with premium English Mint. Who would think just three ingredients could make the most delicious mint candy.

Uncle Joe’s masterfully blends golden brown cane sugar, cream of tartar, and oil of peppermint to create a treat that keeps you on the happy side. The recipe has remained a closely guarded secret, but these refreshing minty treats are still manufactured in the traditional way, over open gas fires.

Perhaps the very best on the planet, it's not just a "mint", not just a "candy"; we consider Uncle Joe's Mint Balls a food.

Established in 1898, the award winning Wm. Santus & Co. LTD. is run by a fourth generation confectioner who still guards the secret recipe that makes this sweet the sweetest!

You can't have enough in your pantry (or your glovebox). You just never know when you will need a refreshing pick-me-up! Uncle Joe's Mint Balls make you feel so good!

I believe in dieting by quantity. Don't eat too much. It's ok to eat one piece of pie, or one piece of panettone and one cookie!

There is just one cookie in this pretty wooden box. And it falls under the "eat only one" rule.

Different from Scottish or American shortbread, Goulibeur all-butter shortbread is uniquely French inspired by traditional recipes. Like a croissant, it feels French, tastes French, and is French.

Yet it is shortbread. You definitely could eat the whole thing but if you share, Santa will look highly upon your actions and put an extra bar of chocolate in your stocking! (Because the cookie won't fit at 9" across.)

Chocolate and mint have been a classic marriage since 1674, when a fashionable London cafe invented the combination. These wonderful confections are twin pieces, shaped like dominoes, with dark chocolate exteriors and creamy peppermint centers. And not just any peppermint!

These mints are made with traditional Black Mitcham peppermint - for centuries, the true flavor of England's famed mint.

These, like their buffer cousin, the Peppermint Creams, are exactly what you want your mint and chocolate to be. The combination is deliciously perfect without being too sweet. Sweet for sure, but my teeth don't hurt when I am done eating one. Just one box, that is.

These are truly my favorite Summerdown Peppermints - with the hard shell and crunch - what a combination of perfection!

This hand-wrapped package tied with a shimmering gold ribbon contains one of the most delicious Panettones we've ever tasted. Unlike a traditional panettone that is studded with raisins and candied citron, this ethereal panettone is made with lightly candied Sorrento lemons, and I swear that you can almost smell the heavenly scent right through the wrapping. Light and buttery, soft in texture, it will melt in your mouth, and the aroma and flavor of the Sorrento lemon will drive you to distraction.

One of the Most Delicious Things You'll Ever Taste!
"I'm back for my fourth year of ordering these amazing panettones, and they have become an important part of our holiday season. The moment you open one of these lovingly-packaged treats, you will find the aroma to be intoxicating. Try to resist poking your nose in this package over and over again. I simply can't. The rich smell of freshly-baked quality ingredients is amazing, but the best part is yet to come. Disregard any comparisons between panettone and fruitcake. The consistency of the panettone is light & fluffy, and the candied lemons are luscious but subtle. If you are looking for that special holiday gift that will impress the jingle bells off someone, you must try these "

"Add these buttery, toasty-sweet shards to ganache, frostings and truffles for a super crunch."

Called for in classic French recipes, these pastry flakes are a common ingredient when making Praline Feuillete or filling for Praline. This is a great thing to have at the ready for holiday baking.

This Dutch process dark unsweetened cocoa powder is in a class unto itself. We have removed less fat from our cocoa (22-24% fat content), which results in a more intense and immediate chocolate flavor. This wonderful Dutch cocoa powder has a touch of ground vanilla bean. Our regulars know what a great cocoa this is!

This "service pack" of ChefShop cocoa powder, essentially a thick zip-lock type bag, is meant for commercial users like baristas and gelato makers, which is why the packaging is Plain Jane with a label. Like much of the foods and ingredients that go to the back of the house, the contents are more important than being pretty.

Awesome!!
" Makes for amazing brownies! "

The Perfect Chicken Breast Recipe

Traditional Za’atar Recipe

Za’atar is always comprised of these three main ingredients: Thyme, Sumac and Toasted Sesame Seeds. But I like this recipe because it includes marjoram (which I love the smell of), and Cumin, which gives it a nice aroma and warm flavor. The salt and pepper are optional in my book, since most of the recipes that call for za’atar also call for salt and pepper. The one exception is if you are going to use the za’atar the Lebanese way - which is to dip bread in olive oil, dip it in za’atar, and then just eat it. IN that case, you might want the salt and pepper.

Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Sweet potato (not yam) may have properties that can help combat viruses like shingles. This is an easy way to get those nutrients into your body. Make a potful and reheat small portions everyday.

This is so simple and very little labor is involved to make. Be sure to cook the onions before you add the sweet potato and you will have success. Save salting until plating, then you or your guests can add the amount of salt they want. Maple Syrup or balsamic is a nice drizzle addition. Sugar is not good for certain viruses.
