Altoids Dark Chocolate Dipped Mints. Peppermint, Cinnamon, and Ginger. $2.49 per 1.76-ounce tin. Bonnie: Ever since its health benefits began being touted, dark chocolate has been appearing everywhere. I'm not complaining, mind you: I was a dark chocolate lover even before I knew it contained higher levels of cholesterol- fighting antioxidant flavonols than milk chocolate.

Quinoa has a rich history. Unlike their highly prized exports of chocolate, chile peppers and squash, the Spanish conquistadors did not want to ship quinoa back home from Latin America. In feet, they tried to prevent even the Incas, who relied on this whole grain as a key protein source, from eating it in order to weaken them and make them easier to conquer. They were too late, however, as the Incas had discovered the benefits of quinoa many centuries before.
Cut off tops of peppers and discard seeds. If large, cut off enough to make them about 3 inches high. Carefully cut a very thin slice off bottom of each pepper to allow it to stand.

If the stuff inside the skull-to-be is only goop to you, consider joining the ranks of pumpkin seed eaters. Separated from the pulp and treated to a little oil, salt and oven-roasting, pumpkin seeds become a crunchy, nutty snack that can easily take on your favorite spices.
