The maple and walnut butcher block is enough for us, but Bespoke Post’s gift box for cooks also packs tasty bloody mary peanuts, handcrafted maple syrups, pepper sauce, seasoning salt, and syrup for perfect gin and tonics.

Pollen Design’s Evak is a set of glass containers designed to keep food, spices and other edibles fresh. It has two valves that let it force air out when you push the lid yet makes it easy to pull the lid out.

Combining the art of candymaking with a more traditional medium, Nendo’s edible chocolate paint tubes are filled with delicious “pigments” like strawberry, melon, brandy and blueberry. Too bad they’re only available in Japan.

What happens when you dip plump pecans in cream, sugar, and Old No. 7? Sweet and salty deliciousness in a box. While they won’t get you drunk like these chocolate bars, they are still tasty. Bigger packages sold on Amazon.

(Gross) Food extremist L.A. Beast eats two Chocolate Butlahs, which his chili connoisseur friends are calling the world’s hottest pepper. Either that claim is true or this guy should replace Mark Ruffalo as the Incredible Hulk.

Practice your switchblade skills with the Butterfly Knife Cutlery. Choose between a spoon or a fork with a balisong mechanism. Both pieces have a bottle opener built-in.  A spork version would be even more awesome.

Replicate the classic oval shape of Twinkies with this special electric griddle. Its six non-stick molds crank out warm pastries in four to seven minutes. Includes recipes for classic, chocolate and red velvet Twinkies.

If you’re already hankering for the taste of a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner, check out King of Pop’s bundle of popcorn imbued with those familiar flavors. We’re not sure that how turkey-flavored popcorn works out though.

Looking forward to that bucket of sweets you’re forcing your kid brother and sister collect for you this Halloween? Why not find out some of the truths behind those sugary treats before you pop ’em all down your gullet.

Fred & Friends wants its eggs done funny side up. Its silicone rubber mold lets you turn two eggs into one toothy skull. They’ll go well with your Pirate Pancakes. Fred & Friends also has an owl egg mold. Both drop 10/28/13.

The Tattooed Bakers made a cake that will either impress or depress you, depending on how much you love unicorns. The life-size unicorn cake has rainbow-colored layers and edible gold leaf-embossed hooves and horn.

While we’re not sure it deserves hooting, hollering and applause, we are definitely going to try this guy’s method for opening our next bag of snacks. Though it’s probably not a good idea if you have a big bag you want to reseal.

Being good in the kitchen is always a plus. So is being spontaneous. Put the two together with the Foodie Dice. With 186,000 combinations, you’re bound to come up with something new to cook even after a few re-rolls.

Sauces and condiments with unlikely and bold flavor profiles, ranging from marshmallow smoke ketchup to tobacco moonshine BBQ to rootbeer pickle hot relish. For those days when you’re looking to go off the board.

While we fully admit we haven’t yet tasted Birra Spalmabile – a buttery spread made with full-bodied beer, it sounds intriguing enough that it’s at least worthy of a mention. Though we’re not sure you’ll get a buzz from your toast.

We like to think we’ve got the whole chopstick thing down to a science. And we pick up our sushi with our fingers. But for those of you who must eat à la Américain, these combo utensils should help you eat (and cheat) just fine.

CerealBoxes is a hilarious collection of cereals meticulously preserved and framed as if they were jewelry or ancient insects. We love the tongue-in-cheek descriptions for each “specimen box.” Sadly the prices are a joke as well.

These creative photos of national flags made from food commonly associated with the country they represent were made to get the word out about the Sydney International Food Festival. They are mostly just making us hungry though.

Watch as this chef pulls off some serious combo moves on a couple of orders of shawarma. Fortunately, Sub-Zero isn’t there to freeze him out. Oh, and we’re craving Middle Eastern food for lunch now. (Thanks Terrence!)

There is something kind of endearing about the approach JELL-O uses in this amusing commercial spot about a son imagining himself in his father’s follicles. If only chocolate pudding could solve more of our gripes.

Possibly the greatest chocolate bar we’ve ever tasted, this Swiss-made Goldkenn chocolate is filled with a real Jack Daniel’s whiskey syrup center with a touch of sugar wrapped around it. And yes, it will get you buzzed.
