Sweet Bliss is a candy company that specializes in fun, retro chocolates and treats. Ralph Lauren's personal chef, whose creations were such a hit that Lauren encouraged her to market them to the public, founded it back in 2002. Sweet Bliss chocolates use a variety of different flavors and textures to come up with unique, but familiar, combinations. The Almond Buttercrunch and Pistachio Brittle are great, but if you really want something to bring back childhood memories, go for the Moo Collection ($45). It includes six 2-oz. Moos - a homemade marshmallow, caramel, and graham cracker Black & White Moo, a banana marshmallow and crunchy peanut butter Elvis Moo, and a Peanut Butter & Jelly Moo - all enrobed in Belgian chocolate.

The candies are available at Sweet Bliss, Bergdorf Goodman, Dean and Deluca and other high-end retailers and they definitely are sweet bliss for anyone who likes a bit of fun (or marshmallow) with his or her chocolate.

With one of the most attractive designs of any coffee maker, the Mukka Express is very unique in performance as well. It won the Best Design Category at the 2006 housewares show last month. Mukka seems to be a play on the words "moo" and "coffee" or "cafe," indicating that this tool makes cappuccinos - but it makes them on the stove-top. Each Mukka can make two mugs of cappuccino, complete with foamy milk, as the special pressure valve is designed to steam it with little more than the touch of a button. Did we mention that it also comes in a black-and-white cow print? There is an instructional video available on the Bialetti  website that details the performance of the Mukka Express, complete with product demonstration. Price: $89.
