Who says you can’t have your trendy brunch on-the-go? Avocado Toast Chocolate Bars are here, and they’ll save you the time of having to order or, heaven forbid, squash your own avocados on toasted bread.
Brought to us by Los Angeles-based, Compartés Chocolatier, the bars contain real California avocados mixed with white chocolate and caramelized toast bits. Make sure to grab a few before they’re considered cool.

Candy corn, the ubiquitous Halloween candy that’s given out by the neighbors who hate kids, is apparently in the middle of some sort of renaissance. Brach’s, borrowing from the alternative-flavor playbook created by Oreo, has unleashed Brunch-Flavored Candy Corn.
The sugar-nuggets, having graduated from their familiar yellow, white and orange, have been replaced with the desaturated colors of a late breakfast. Flavors of the brunch candy corns are French Toast and Maple Syrup, Waffles and Strawberry, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes — replacing the classic flavor of high fructose corn syrup and disappointment.
Brunch Favorites Candy Corns will be available for a limited time only at Target stores.
Brunch used to be just a fun way to consolidate two meals while nursing a hangover. Now, it’s clearly become an exercise in humans’ tolerance for each other, and is responsible for things like “bruncher’s remorse” and “tip guilt.”
Michelle Rial of The Bold Italic knows this, and has created Hand-Crafted Charts About Brunch — a handy series that shows us a few ways in which the meal in-between breakfast and lunch has become intolerable.
Now, where’s my overpriced Bloody Mary and designer omelette? Waitress!!

If you’re looking to add some savory to your pancakes, or you’re having a few five-year-olds over for brunch… Hot Dog Pancakes are here to help.
Brought to us by CHOW, the pancakes are easy enough to make, by placing slices of your wiener on one side of the pancake and flipping as usual. Pass the syrup and mustard.

Brought to us by College Humor, Brunchables will help nurture your kid’s hipster tendencies, while teaching them how to properly nurse a Sunday hangover. Unlike Lunchables, with their rubber deli meats and stale crackers, Brunchables are packed with a cuisine fit for the most pretentious of prepubescents. And if their underdeveloped palates aren’t ready for eggs benedict or Dutch pancakes, they can just eat their PB&J ironically.
