Baker’s Microwaveable Dipping Chocolate

I just recently went to a fondue restaurant in Manhattan, New York called Swizz. It was pretty good and inspired me to make my own fondue at home. I spoke with my mom about the overabundance of strawberries in our garden and she told me about Baker’s Microwaveable Dipping Chocolate. You can buy it at the grocery store near the fruit or in the baking aisle near the chocolate. Baker’s Microwaveable Dipping Chocolate is specifically formulated to heat evenly in the microwave, right in the little tub. You can use it to make chocolate covered strawberries, bananas, pretzels, marshmallows, cookies, nuts, pineapple, apple, or whatever else you think sounds good. It is so fast and easy to make. You just heat the container, dip the items, then let them cool on wax paper. This is great for dessert or to give in a gift bag with other food or drink items. This would also be nice for a special occasion or to surprise a loved one. You can buy Baker’s Microwaveable Dipping Chocolate for about $3.30 per container at most grocery stores.

McVitie’s Ginger Nuts Biscuits

I recently discovered McVitie’s Ginger Nuts Biscuits in the international food section of the grocery store. McVitie’s Ginger Nuts are made in the United Kingdom. They contain no artificial colors or flavors. These cookies are very crunchy which make them excellent for pairing with hot tea. I like them better than regular ginger snaps because they have a unique flavor. McVitie’s Ginger Nuts are a cross between ginger snaps and lemon cookies, which make them refreshing and invigorating at the same time. The only thing better than the flavor is their HILARIOUS name. I wonder if anyone in the United Kingdom understands why “GINGER NUTS” are so funny! This would be a great gift for your favorite ginger. You can buy these at some grocery stores for around $3.00 per package. Or you can get them online.
