One of the really awesome benefits of writing a food and travel blog is the I get to test new products and read new cookbooks to review. This list of fabulous gifts for campers is a result of all of that research. Disclaimer: These items were sent to me to review. But the opinions expressed are 100% my own.

AnolonX NonStick Pan

Meyer Corporation debuts the new Anolon®X cookware collection with exclusive technology to maximize flavor in every dish. The new collection represents the latest engineering
breakthrough from Meyer U.S., which pioneered hard anodized nonstick cookware with the launch of Anolon in 1986. AnolonX is currently available exclusively at Williams Sonoma and Anolon.com.

AnolonX helps cooks find their happy place by overcoming a common problem with nonstick pans – how to keep oil from sliding to the sides of the pan, compromising searing and browning results. AnolonX solves this problem with its exclusive SearTechTM surface, a uniquely constructed base with a stainless steel mesh engineered to keep oil in the middle of the pan, directly under the food, thereby transferring heat evenly to caramelize and sear better, and create flavors that stop conversations.

AnolonX’s game-changing and distinctive SearTechTM surface, which resembles a diamond- patterned wire mesh, is fused with Anolon’s signature, triple-layer and PFOA-free premium nonstick for long-lasting, effortless food release and quick cleanup. The collection’s durable, heavy gauge construction includes a thick, edge-to-edge stainless steel base for optimum even heat conductivity, and an ultra durable nonstick that makes it truly metal utensil safe. Extra-thick rims protect against wear and tear from metal kitchen utensils, flat rivets make the cookware easier to clean, nest and store, and tempered glass lids with reinforced metal rims allow cooks to easily monitor cooking without lifting lids. Sturdy metal handles are meticulously crafted for optimum comfort, balance and control, and the cookware is conveniently dishwasher safe, suitable for all cooktops, including induction, and oven safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Skinny Me Chocolate

Their story started in 2015 with finding a way to make a premium chocolate that not only tastes great, but is good for you without all the harmful effects of sugar. At SkinnyMe,  they are a health focused group as a whole and avoiding sugar has been a part of theirr diets for a while, which makes it difficult to enjoy any of the sweeter things in life. Through research and development, they found only a small amount of zero sugar chocolates on the market, but none of which were sweetened with Stevia Leaf extract which is the only sweetener any of us used on a regular basis. Most of the zero sugar products available were sweetened with Maltitol and other artificial sweeteners which we knew had negative long term heath effects. So the task was simple or at least we thought. Just make a chocolate sweetened with Stevia and people will love it!!!! Actually it’s not that easy.

Stevia, as it turns out, is nothing like regular sugar. The process of sweetening chocolate with Stevia is a little different. They spent over a year with their chocolatier working on the initial dark chocolate recipe to get the flavor profile and smooth texture customers would expect in a premium chocolate. In late 2015 after thousands of recipe changes with multiple failed attempts they finally had a dark chocolate that they loved.
