It definitely is that time of year. If you’re looking for 9.5 oz of rocky road chocolate goodness, See’s Candies is holding it down for you. For $9.50, you’ll be able to spice up your game day with this football shaped chocolate masterpieces filled with none other than marshmallow, walnut and of course, more chocolate. The outer rim is decorated with white icing to imitate the football laces. Perfect timing for the NFL playoffs!
If you’re not down for an entire doughnut now-a-days, Krispy Kreme is doing you a solid by bringing you these new “minis”. A box of 20 of these bad boys will run you about $6.99, and each piece is about 90 calories. I hope they make these in New York Cheesecake flavor…eat on!
Absinthe has always been a subject of interest to me. For those unfamiliar, Absinthe is a strong, herb-infused, alcoholic beverage that was extremely popular with artists and authors in the late 19th and 20th centuries. One of the more predominant flavors of Absinthe comes from the aniseed, one of the primary ingredients of my favorite alcohol Arak. Absinthe itself is noted for its green color and stereotypically halluniogenic qualities. The folks over at Archie McPhee have put up a new product, Absinthe Mints, which maintains the unique anise flavor minus the side effects. You can get a set of 2 of these tins for $4.95. Get your giggidy-giggidy on!
A few days back, our friend Andy over at IM-King Clothing celebrated his birthday with the rest of his staff. Being the true Foodbeasts that they are, one of his friends Jenny threw together an amazing IM-King birthday cake. Her website has yet to open, but we will keep you posted on what’s coming from her camp; until then, feel free to lurk her Myspace album and enjoy her awesome creations.
It’s pretty amazing to note that the first Blizzard was brought into fruition in 1985, and now its more than two decades later with a variety of options that resemble a small army. The heads over at Dairy Queen are set to kick off the New Year with their latest “Blizzard of the Month”, a new Turtle Oreo Blizzard that will become available at participating locations beginning January 1st. The new Blizzard features cookie pieces, caramel and pecans blended with the notorious vanilla soft-serve ice cream. Look to drop $2.75 for a 12-ounce, $3.20 for a 16-ounce and $3.65 for a 21-ounce (only true option). Brain freeze, eat on! (Thx NRN)

Snickers is crackin’ nuts and deliverin’ presents this year with some holiday themed chocolatey goodness. The Santas are Peanut Butter, and the Nutcrackers seem to be original Snickers goodness. Eat with your egg nog today!
S’mores are dope. Actually, they are one of my favorite desserts. Only issue is, who has time to start a fire pit, gather all the ingredients, fix up a metal coat hanger and dangle all previously noted items above an open flame? Ok…so we probably do have that kind of time, but for the select few that have jobs that don’t involve you sitting behind a computer writing about food all day, you can check out this new product called Your S’more. The package comes with an aluminum bowl, packed with graham cracker, chocolate and of course a marshmallow. Of course, to get the right consistency and color on that marshmallow top, just throw it in the oven for 3-5 minutes and you’re good to go! Right now a 4-pack is on sale for $10.95, eat on!
Oreo. The butt of jokes, the core to obesity, and the favorite of millions. Today we find a limited edition Oreo version for the holidays, specially infused with an Old Fashioned Candy Cane Creme.
