Girlawhirl considers finding the most delicious treats, those that satisfy even the most discerning of palates, a welcomed challenge. From exotic flavors to outrageous chocolates and even a little something just for the adults, Girlawhirl can't wait to see the reaction when her favorite foodies get a taste of these delectable indulgences…
• Girlawhirl's already a fan of CurrySimple™ for its super easy and delicious curry and Pad Thai sauces. The line makes whipping up a delicious Thai dinner a snap, something Girlawhirl previously thought impossible. But what she's most excited about sharing this holiday season are the new smaller three-serving sized packages, making cooking a delicious, fresh Thai dinner at home, for just one or two, even easier. And their new sauces add a touch of Thai to all kinds of foods. Ranging from mango and mild to flaming hot red curry, Girlawhirl's sure to satisfy every Thai lover on her list.

• Sometimes treats just aren't meant to be shared with the kids, and the decadent brownies from Dolcielo™ are truly an adults only indulgence. Featuring ingredient combinations like Kahlúa, cinnamon and plums; Bacardi Gold, pineapple and macadamia nuts; Triple Sec and cranberries or Amaretto DiSaronno with sun-ripened apricot, these brownies are for the mature palate with a child-like love of chocolate.

• The only thing that could possibly complement liquor laced brownies are wine filled chocolates! Just bite into one of the 12 Wine Filled Truffles from Red Envelope and let the gush of Cabernet, Port or even delicious Champagne wrapped in chocolate wash over the tongue. Girlawhirl's pretty sure no gourmet can resist. But if they prefer their wine on the side, Girlawhirl's also found an entire collection of wine paired chocolates from Vosges Haut-Chocolat. She just has to double check before ordering the Wine + Chocolate gift boxes to make sure wine can be sent to her intended recipients (shipping isn't available to all states).

• Girlawhirl loves homemade chocolates. So to her fellow chocolate lovers she's giving the Me… A Chocolatier truffle making kit from Knipschildt Chocolatier, and maybe she'll even get a little return on her investment. Either as a group project or a solo effort, everyone can become a world class chocolatier. The kit comes with step-by-step instructions and 21 hollow truffle shells just waiting to be filled with jams or homemade ganache – really whatever the budding chocolatier wants to experiment with. Girlawhirl can't wait to see what flavors will pop up.
