Artisan popcorn
Metropolitan Bakery just debuted three flavors of artisan popcorn in time for the holidays: Bourbon Infused, Stout and Smoked Almond, and Spicy Peanut Butter, all quite addictive, but our guys liked the Stout best. In six-ounce bags ($6.95) or three-bag gift samplers in a wooden box for $25 (plus shipping).
