Santa Hat Brownies

This Santa Claus hat brownie idea is candy to the eyes! So simple, yet absolutely cute – you can feel the Christmas spirit!

“To assemble, pipe a ring of vanilla buttercream on top of each brownie. Cut off the base of a strawberry so it is flat and place it upside down on each brownie, pushing slightly to secure in place. Top the tip of the strawberry with a dot of buttercream to finish the Santa hat.” (full recipe: Daisy’s Word)

CHOCOLATE COVERED JALAPENOS

Forget the fudge — spice things up at your holiday gatherings by busting out theseChocolate Covered Jalapenos ($60-$90). Available in batches of one or two dozen, you get to choose the types of chocolate — dark, milk, white, or a few of each — to cover the outside of either sweet, spicy, or a mixture of sweet and spicy jalapenos, all of which arrive in a gift box that can be emblazoned with a seasonal message for just a few dollars more.

Ethiopian woman

"I was standing in a market in Southern Ethiopia when this woman barged right up to me demanding a picture. I was not keen as all pictures in this part of the world come with a price. But she was different she just wanted to see how her newly purchased beads looked around her neck." (Ben McRae)

Extra Crunchy Bread

From what I’ve been able to piece together from a commenter at 9GAG and a few travel books, there’s a bar called The Real McCoy in the Barrikadnaya neighborhood of Moscow that sells vodka bottle loaves like this. It has all of the components of a complete and nutritious breakfast.
