Visions of Sugar Plums Give-Away

As most of you know, I'm a firm believer in shopping small, locally owned businesses whenever possible.  It puts money into your local economy and keeps Americans working. That being said, I did some local shopping and one lucky reader will get to win this sweet stash :)
If you're ever in Denver, make sure you take the free tour of Hammond's Candies. They still make their candy canes and lollipops by hand.  You'll definitely feel like you've spent some time in Santa's workshop.  I've included two lollipops and one Christmas tree ornament.  These would make great stocking stuffers, or just plain fun for the little one's in you life.
Baby, if it's cold outside, these should take the chill off.  6 ounces of Wind and Willow Original Mulled Cider mix.  This can also be used to make hot mulled wine, and will make one gallon.  6.25 Ounces of Mary Lake Thompson Chocolate Peppermint Cocoa mix, in an adorable fabric bag.  These would make great hostess, or neighbor gifts, or they would also be great for those Holiday visitors who stop by. 
Sweets for the sweet!  9.7 ounces of Scharffen Berger fine artisan 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate. Take my word for it, this is THE chocolate you want to bake with.  This chocolate will kick any recipe up several notches.   7.8 Ounces of Dean Jacobs Silver Sparkling Sugar.  Not only is this sugar beautiful, it comes in a lovely glass jar with a clamp seal.  Sprinkle this on cookies or a white frosted cake for instant elegance.

One Mary Lake Thompson Flour Sack Kitchen Towel.  Although this will be beautiful at Christmas, the winter theme will be appropriate all Winter long.
