What’s more fun than a brownie on a stick? A Nibble Top Pick Of The Week, these whimsical and delicious treats will delight sweet tooths of all ages.
Fudgy brownies are hand-dipped in chocolate and decorated with the smiling faces of Frosty, Rudolph and Santa. The box contains two pieces of each character.
While the Holiday Brownie Pops are pricey due to the elaborate hand-decorating (6 Pops $39.95, 12 Pops $69.95), you can also buy round brownie pops for $24.95 per set of 6.

We usually don’t go gaga over pie—no one makes a pie as good as our mom. Except for the pie professionals who bake up a storm for Harry & David’s Heritage Pie Club.
These pies are so good, even Mom can’t complain that they’re ready-made. The pies arrive frozen, ready to be baked. Each month brings a different seasonal fruit in a handsome and delectable crust. The current month’s selection, Apple Cranberry Pie, is simply heavenly.
The pies are nine inches in diameter, two pounds of heaven.
Santa, please enroll us!
Individual Pie Gifts are $29.95
Pies so good, they’re better than homemade.

Deck the “hors” and be sure to include some red and green hors d’oeuvre* at your holiday party. Some crowd-pleasers are very easy to make.
Skewer: Take long toothpicks and make a skewer of bocconcini (1″ mozzarella balls—the word means “mouthfuls” in Italian), red roasted pepper or sundried tomato, a small basil leaf and a pitted picholine olive. For a vegan dish, substitute cubes of tofu for the mozzarella.
Canapé: Spread thin slices of baguette or flatbread with soft goat cheese, top with a marinated roma tomato (more tender and mild than a sundried tomato, which can be substituted), and garnish with baby arugula.
Bruschetta: The toasted bread topped with a tomato “bruschetta” sauce and basil leaves is a perennial crowd pleaser.
Stuffed Peppadew: Bright red peppadews can be stuffed with goat cheese or cream cheese, skewered with other veggies and/or cheese and used to decorate food platters.
Add your own ideas to this selection and deck the hors!
*The French spelling places the plural “s” at the end of “hors,” not “d’oeuvre.”
