Microwaveable S'mores Maker
Either legend or fact has it that the first written record of s'mores dates back to 1927. But chances are, they did it the old-fashioned way back in the Roaring Twenties—with a twig and a roaring fire. Thank goodness for modern technology. This handy little gadget microwaves two perfect s'mores in 30 seconds. A water tank heats them through evenly (no more gushy marshmallow and cold, hard chocolate), and the arms hold the top graham cracker in place so there's no slip and slide. And it's dishwasher safe; although, chances are, you'll still get pretty messy....Blogwatch: Atomic Deer Turds
Photograph courtesy of Robb Walsh Need another easy, filling and delicious finger food for your football parties? Robb Walsh of the Houston Press featured atomic deer turds as a treat for the Texas tailgaters. Ground venison sausage, jalapenos, and cheese wrapped into a neat little ball? How could you go wrong? Walsh also lists variations on the dish by using different meats, cheeses, and animals to name the turds after. I for one love jalapeno poppers so this dish is right up my ally. What's your favorite gaming finger food?...Japanese Snack Review: Takoyaki-ya San, or Gobs of Goo
When faced with cute Japanese candy, my brain tends to switch to "automatic Japanese candy response mode" by taking whatever candy is in front of me and placing it into my shopping basket. I have no choice but to buy what goes into my basket. No choice. Even if it's something as ridiculous as Takoyaki-ya San, a gummy candy meant to resemble octopus-filled dough balls. I saw it while shopping at Mitsuwa in Edgewater, New Jersey, where I only had to look at the package for two seconds before deciding, "This probably isn't worth my money, but I'm going to buy it anyway." I wasn't enticed by the takoyaki resemblance though—the best part was that you had to make...Cool Blog Alert: 'Second Rate Snacks'
I love the idea of this blog—comparing a popular foodstuff to a similar but (sometimes) lesser-loved version. With voting for the superior snack. On that note, when am I getting my Hostess Pie?...Attention, Ed Levine ...

I was surprised to see this limited edition version of chocolate-filled biscuit snack Koala's March when I visited Japanese shopping center Mitsuwa last weekend. More surprising was finding out that the only difference between this version and the Halloween version is the packaging and the designs printed on the cookies; the flavor is the same (I was hoping for pumpkin). It's a pretty damn cute design though. Related Pumpkin-Flavored Pocky Snacks The Best Japanese Chocolate and Cracker Snack Shaped Like a Mushroom...Whaou! Chocolate Fast Food Crepes
Lately, I've been seeing crêpes all over the place. At first, I thought I was imagining some sort of French oasis in the culinary desert of my daily life, but no, they're real. They are gossamer thin, chocolate stuffed, individually wrapped, 144 calories, 89¢, and actually made in France. In short, they are perfect. I put mine in the toaster oven to crisp up on low—the chocolate in the center melts, and it is positively unbeatable. No, they are not the fresh buckwheat beauties you find in Breton, but they are the perfect snack for the flight over. Let's hope the other flavors make their way over soon; Whaou! sells these crêpes in France in Chocolate, Cracky (crispies and...Pumpkin-Flavored Pocky Snacks
Hel-lo, pumpkin. As Helen of Ready Steady Go points out, this is a good reason to love October and Japan simultaneously. The Japanese stick snacks Pocky have been spotted in such flavors as banana, green tea, and milk, but pumpkin? Even lifetime Pocky eater Robyn was speechless. Good News: The ingredients contain actual pumpkin. Bad News: They may not taste like actual pumpkin....Gamer Grub: Hunger PWNED!!!1!
