Lockharts Dry Rub
One of my favorite restaurants in Dallas, Lockharts Smokehouse, offers dry rub that is to die for. The dry rubs only cost $8 and would be the perfect stocking stuffer (or gift topper) for any Foodie. If they aren’t big into cooking, why not purchase a gift card so they can taste some of the best BBQ in Dallas?

OMG S’mores
Before I tell you all of the great details about OMG S’mores, who wouldn’t want Smores for a present? There is no bad time to have smores. Stacy Fawcett, founder of OMG S’mores, has invented the most genius gift – a smores kit. This kit comes with enough ingredients to make 16 individual smores (graham crackers, marshmallows, Hershey’s chocolate, skewers) and come packaged in a three-foot cylinder. Proceeds from each $15 kit sold provide 16 meals for the North Texas Food Bank. You can purchase OMG S’mores at Whole Foods and Swoozies.

Located in the Bishops Arts District, Dude Sweet Chocolate offers some of the best chocolates around. Chocolatier Katherine Clapner mixes and matched ingredients such as paprika, habanero, curry and more to make chocolate that will make your mouth water. Her selection is endless, stop by and try one of their many samples. If you want to make your foodie friend laugh, purchase them the “chubby nuts.” (Tub of love from Dude Sweet Chocolate pictures above.)
