For their daughter's 1st birthday my friends baked "Chocolate Chip Cookies Straight Up or with Nuts" and Chocolate Chip Espresso Cookies" to which I absolutely fell in love with! I immediately went out to buy the book so I could make them myself. This book is so much fun to flip through. It looks nothing like your average cookbook. The design is part anime, part punk and tons of fun!

The recipes range from the easy to hard but Elizabeth explains everything quite thoroughly so you don't feel like any recipe is too daunting. Many of the recipes also suggest mixing the ingredients by hand. She feels the end product comes out better. And personally I feel like you put more love into it. I think this book is a must have for anyone who loves a good dessert!

Recommended by pinrat on Nov 13, 2006

This delicious alternative to popcorn hails from Hawaii and is made by the Hawaii Popcorn Company. Each pack comes with 1 bag of unpopped popcorn, a bag of mochi crunch/nori (seaweed) bits, pack of buttery sauce and a plastic bag to shake 'em all up in.

1. Pop popcorn
2. Place popped popcorn in plastic bag
3. Add mochi and nori
4. Add buttery goodness
5. Shake Shake Shake!

The resulting treat is sweet, salty and a bit greasy but oh so good! (via Hawaii Popcorn Company)

Osem Soup Almonds

My friend Vicky turned me on to this Israeli favorite and now I'm totally hooked. (Like I need another food addiction.) Osem Soup Almonds are little tiny croutons about the size of Chicklets. They're awesome both in soup and just for snacking. One of the best things about them is they stay crunchy in soup. No really I swear! (via Zara Mart)
