Tell every bacon addict with a sweet tooth about the Pig Out! package from Roni~Sue Chocolates: an assortment of bacon candy for $30.00 that includes:
- Pig Candy, chocolate-covered bacon strips
- Bacon Buttercrunch, toffee rolled in coarse-chopped nuts mixed with chopped bacon
- BaCorn, caramel popcorn tossed with bits of candied bacon and chile-flavored pinon nuts
Our favorite is the caramel corn—it’s light and crunchy and difficult to put down. But all three bacony treats will make a bacon lover squeal.

Hors d’oeuvres from GoodWives.com. |
|
Entertaining? Plan 4 to 6 cocktail hors d’oeuvres per person if you’re following drinks with dinner; 8 to 10 pieces if it’s just a cocktail party.
Some brands of frozen hors d’oeuvres available to consumers are the same brands caterers use. They’ll cook up hot and crispy in your oven in just 7 or 8 minutes. Just try the products in advance of the event so there are no surprises. Not only do you want to be sure that the food tastes as good as it looks; different ovens produce different results, and you don’t want to experiment while guests are waiting to be fed!

| Thank goodness the growing demand for sophisticated cookie platters gave birth to Cookie Panache, because the cookies are simply wonderful. In a world where the cost of labor and ingredients to bake one’s own butter cookies is almost as much as buying the finest, Cookie Panache is a real find. Crafting twists on favorites that add layers of flavor, these cookies and their biscotti siblings have most definitely earned their panache.
Cookie Panache answers the ever-hanging question of what to give for personal and corporate holiday gifts, hostess gifts and thank-you gifts for loving relatives who treat you to Thanksgiving, and Christmas and Chanukah memories.*
*Anyone who celebrates anything else: Add it here!
So, what are you waiting for? You know you want to dig in and find out more about the Dulce de Leche Cookie (a super sandwich), Triple Chocolate Bites (worth every calorie), Mojito Lime (a cocktail in a glass), Dutch Granny (we’ve adopted her) and the rest of the melodious cookie chorus, including impeccable biscotti.
