Is today your birthday? I bet you wish it was just so someone would make this cake for you.
It’s called the Crunchy Milk Chocolate–Peanut Butter Layer Cake and was adapted from Food and Wine Magazine by Joe of Culinary in the Desert.
The cake’s anatomy:
Chocolate cake.
A peanut butter filling that has milk chocolate, almonds, roasted […]

This PB&J Cake from Wilton’s website is not only made in the shape of a “huggable teddy bear” but also contains peanut butter, jelly and chocolate chips. You of course don’t need to make yours in the shape of a teddy, but you would be doing so at the risk of going down a few […]

When I brought these into work one day my co-workers seemed to think I was a little nuts. But maybe the comfort of knowing they’d eaten other, more normal treats I’d created encouraged them to give these a shot. High risk, high reward, right? They were all instantly addicted. The night before Valentine’s Day, I […]

Before you start wondering why I’m posting a mocha bar on my chocolate peanut butter blog, let me defend it by saying that organic peanut butter is the second ingredient and dark chocolate chips are scattered throughout the bar as well. Hah!
As a habitual snacker, granola bars and protein bars are a constant presence in […]

I don’t get to bake with nuts too often these days (peanuts are not a nut- they’re a legume!) because my boyfriend / primary taste tester can’t eat them.
But he’s out of town. Hehe…
I’m not sure if I have a favorite nut or not. I probably eat pecans the most. I put them in […]

Ever since the first time I ordered this ice cream / topping combination at Cold Stone, I have yet to change my order. It’s perfect. We finally decided to just buy the biggest size they sell and keep it stowed away in our freezer so as to eliminate the possibility of running out of it. […]

It’s that time of year again. Valentine’s Day has come and gone and so has your heart shaped box of truffles. Finding yourself in need of a sweet fix? What better way to satisfy it than by eating tasty cookies that support the Girl Scouts of America?
For those of you that aren’t familiar with the […]

Being that the filling in this sandwich is so soft, it’s best to use a hearty bread for a bit of contrast of textures. But if you can’t get your hands on a crusty italian bread from the bakery, one of the nuttier breads from the grocery store will do nicely as well. Try a […]

My mom made these for a holiday a few years ago. She doesn’t have as vicious a sweet tooth as I do, nor is peanut butter one of her favorite ingredients. It’s not that I necessarily expected her to make a less-than-stellar chocolate peanut butter dessert, but I’ll admit to being thrown off guard at […]
