Looking for some fun stocking stuffers this Holiday season?
Boston America produces an array of energy drinks decorated with your favorite characters. Quarmire’s Cherry Pop, Flaming Moe, and Nintendo Power Up! are available at the Bulk Barn. The drink itself is pretty decent, not as good as Red Bull, and the aftertaste is fairly mild. For a couple of bucks, these cans will bring some good laughs!

Maple-Glazed Cornbread at Blue Plate Diner. The texture is amazing, being both dense but crumbly, making it fun to pick at the stray pieces. The flavor is even better. One side is coated with a sticky maple glaze, spread on some butter and you have a medley of sweet and salty . What else can I say about this delicious treat… it’s comfort food at its humblest. Served with a bowl of fresh fruit at brunch, or available on the side anytime.

Lobster nachos at Delux Burger bar. There are actually chunks of visible lobster hidden amongst the blend of three cheeses and other tasty toppings. The chips are seasoned and delicious by itself, but of course when loaded with cheese, onions, peppers, tomatoes and lobster, create an unstoppable combination. Dips include a tangy lemon-dill sour cream and tomato salsa, although I personally like them as is. If you’re out for quantity versus quality, these nachos are not for you… in that case I would recommend Original Joe’s (the small order is large enough to be an entree!). Not that OJ’s nachos are of poor quality, but if you’re in the mood for something unique with an upscale twist, these lobster nacho’s will do the trick!

Just when you thought they ran out of things to cover in chocolate.
We all know pretty much anything can be covered in chocolate. There is chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered potato chips (which are delicious by the way!), and even chocolate covered bacon (yes, there is innovative and then there is just stupid). But these miniature candies are certainly one of the more welcoming food creations. Lay’s “Betcha can’t eat just one” definitely applies to these highly addictive morsels. The chocolate candy and roasted sunflower combination will leave you wanting more. Don’t forget all the fibre, vitamins and minerals hidden behind these colorful gems. Add some pretty packaging to make interesting party favors or gifts. Now available in bulk at the Bulk Barn.
