Each batch of Rocking Chair Mix is hand-made in their facility using only the fines ingredients available on the market.  The bag is re-sealable just in case you don't finish it on the first try.  Rocking Chair Mix is also available this year in gift tins.
DiCamillo Panettone 
We have found no better pannetone than this delicious treat from DiCamillo, beautifully wrapped for Christmas in Red with satin ribbon. The most famous of all Italian cakes, this selfrising Piedmontese Panettone is light, airy, and sweetly fragrant. Covered with a baked-on hazelnut icing. You have not tasted Panettone until you have tasted DiCamillo Panettone! Now Red wrapped for an elegant presentation.
Harry & David Moose Munch
They pop the popcorn big and fluffy. They kettle-cook the caramel with sweet creamy butter. And they toss them together with plenty of fresh cashews and almonds. Then they dip and drizzle it in the same rich chocolate they use for their fabulous Chocolate Truffles. That’s what puts Moose Munch® Confection in a class all its own. Includes Original Caramel, some that’s dipped in Milk Chocolate, some in Dark Chocolate, and some with Macadamias and White Chocolate.
Robert Rothschild Nutcracker Dip
This sweet dip is a creamy blend of brown sugar and pecans. A holiday favoritie!
Suggested Uses: Use as a filling in mini tartlet shells for an easy and elegant dessert. Warm the dip and drizzle over cake or ice cream. Makes a great topping on a toasted bagel.

Lacey's Cookies
Lacey’s Cookies are everyone’s favorite!  Winner of the 2009 sofi Fancy Food Association’s gold award for outstanding cookie—this continental confection is two feather light, toffee wafers sandwiched with smooth dark or milk chocolate.  These gourmet Lacey’s are made with the freshest high quality ingredients and no preservatives.  A great holiday treat, pick up gift or addition to any gift basket.  
Stonewall Kitchen Peppermint Hot Chocolate
A cool whisper of peppermint mingled in deep rich cocoa adds a touch of seasonal flavor to a traditional hot chocolate favorite. Easy to make, this creamy, hot chocolate is made from only the finest ingredients.
The Caramel Candy Company
Born in a small kitchen years ago, their superb gourmet caramel, made using their special non-stick formula, is still handmade today one small batch at a time. Truly exquisite taste is what distinguishes their caramels from others. Even people who have never liked caramel love theirs because of its exceptional taste. We believe it's simply the world's best caramel.  Available in gift tins with or with out pecans or walnuts.
Thymes Frazier Fir Candle
Designed to be a limited-edition holiday item, the original Frasier Fir Candle from Thymes, sold out with three weeks.  It was obvious we’d kindled something special. The Frasier Fir phenomenon has been growing at Rice Epicurean Markets ever since and has become a traditional part of the holidays as much as baking treats or twinkling light displays.  With the aromatic snap of crisp Siberian Fir needles, heartening cedarwood and relaxing sandalwood, its just-cut, forest fresh fragrance perfectly captures the essence of the season.  
Dr. Pete's Praline Mustard Glaze
A wonderful blend of brown sugar, mustard, pecans, and spices that delights the palate. Try it on ham, chicken or pork tenderloin. It is outstanding when poured over cream cheese or brie and served with crackers.
Apple Valley Inn Winter Wonderland Cake
A centerpiece that any hostess would be proud of! Nearly 2 ½ pounds of moist lemon cake with real cranberries to complement the season. A cake impressive enough to wow all your guests and delicious too! There might not be anything left of this beautiful cake when the party’s over but guests won’t forget this table center attraction.
 
Bakery:
 
 
Royers Pies
Foodies from all over the state come to the café in Round Top for upscale comfort food. The old-fashioned pie is what keeps 'em coming back. "The crust is the main thing," says owner Tara Royer. It's melt-in-your-mouth flaky. Tara's father, Bud, a.k.a. The Pieman, is famous for his namesake thick, chewy chocolate-chip pie, but the pecan pie deserves a blue ribbon, too.
 
During this years holiday season, we are proud to welcome back Royer’s Pies exclusively at Rice Epicurean Markets. Available Mid November just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Look for these Award Winning Pies in our fresh bakeries and the frozen food department.
