HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS
CHARCUTERIE
On a cold blustery day, the thought of having a nice rich hot chocolate makes the weather outside bearable for me. At Your Service Creations sells the sweetest Hot Chocolate Bombs you simply add to your hot milk and stir. They are beautiful before and after use! I like to add a little shot of red wine and a sprinkle of cinnamon too. Grab some Hot Chocolate Bombs and handmade Cookie Kit to give that special someone on your list or enjoy for yourself!
It’s tradition in our family to serve charcuterie at least once over the holiday season. A really great bold red wine makes it even better! I found a local shop in Charlottetown, Cured Creations, that curates charcuterie of any size. My favourite part? It’s all local cheese, charcuterie meats, mustards, chocolate, and so much more. Visit them at their shop at 257 Queen Street, Charlottetown. (photo: Simon Reid)
CANDIED ALMONDS
GIN
FESTIVE FAVOURITES The Island is known for being an oasis for great locally produced food and drinks. These are just a few of my local favourite foodie finds.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, or how about candied almonds? My family are in for a real treat Christmas morning
I love Myriad View Artisan
Distilleri Gin. It’s a 200-year-old recipe adapted to distill in their beautiful copper vessel. With its smooth blend of eight floral botanical herbs
and spices, I often enjoy it neat with a wedge of lime. This holiday season I’ll be making my version of a Cranberry & Gin Moscow Mule.
when they open their stockings! These almonds come in a variety of authentic flavours too. You’ll have to be quick to grab them fresh from the Lucky Bee Homestead booth at the Charlottetown Farmers’ Market on Saturdays.

CLOW’S MEAT PIE
Since we’re all used to the lineups this year, you’ll have no problem lining up at Clow’s Red and White for their famous meat pie! It’s no secret among those of us fortunate to take home one of these pies, they are absolutely delicious, traditional locally handmade meat pie that are well worth the wait. Last year there were no pre orders and with restrictions in place this year, Norman has informed me that you should secure your pie now for baking later. Their pies are available all year round and can be picked up at 1104 Route 225 North Wiltshire PE.
