  7. We’ve long admired Gourmet Village Hot Chocolate products, which have been produced in Québec since 1982, but we were today years old when we found out that they also make a range of nutty toppings for Baked Brie ($5.99). Whaaaa?! Pot & Pantry has lots of both products on its website (and likely in store, too).
