More Chicago Cupcakeries

July 31st, 2008

The incredible Vegan Peanut Butter Cupcake posted above is from The Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago (from flickr user The Bleeding Heart Bakery). Drooling yet?
Taste Tester and I were only in Chicago for two days, and since we bought over a dozen cupcakes on our visit to Molly’s Cupcakes we didn’t get around to visiting […]

Back with a bang! A Review of Molly’s Cupcakes

July 30th, 2008

Hi people! I missed you during vacation, but I’m back to share some fun chocolate and peanut butter adventures from my road trip to Michigan and Illinois.
Taste Tester, Taste Tester’s brother, and Jackie Brown (our Chocolate Labrador) and I drove from New Jersey to the Canadian Lakes in Stanwood Michigan, stopping in Ann Arbor on […]

OCD Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Decorating

July 20th, 2008

So remember yesterday when I said I was going away for a little while? Well… I wasn’t kidding actually. Though I’m going on vacation, I will be posting when I’m able to, and well… I’m able to (at least today). And these photos found on flickr were just too crazy not to share.

Next time you […]

Brb!

July 19th, 2008

Sad to say but it’s time for me to take a short little hiatus here at the Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery. I will be away for a week and a half enjoying the sun somewhere in Michigan. I’m only bothering to write this by chance that I don’t have internet where I’m staying. If I […]

Necco Sky Bar Review

July 18th, 2008

The Sky Bar is a pretty chocolate bar. The design of the bar’s shape is very Art Deco, which makes sense since this bar debuted in the 1930s. According to Necco’s website, it was first announced to the public by means of a dramatic skywriting advertising campaign. Fun! It was the only candy bar to […]

Misha’s Cupcakes

July 16th, 2008

There has been an intense on-going debate for who makes the best cupcake in NYC. There are the Magnolia lovers and the Magnolia haters. There are lists upon lists and arguments upon arguments. Well, I’m here to settle the debate for you.
The best cupcake is NOT in NYC.
It’s in Florida. At a chain called Misha’s […]

Serendipity’s Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate

July 15th, 2008

So there’s this little thing called “Frozen Hot Chocolate” at this little place called “Serendipity 3″ in this little town called New York City. Maybe you’ve heard of it.
It seems that the second a restaurant in NYC (or anywhere, I’d assume) gets featured in a movie, it’s the new tourist hot spot. Well Serendipity 3 […]

Xooro Churro

July 14th, 2008

This photo of a crazy looking churro and the tube it came in was found on flickr. It’s called the “Mississippi” and it costs a mighty $4. It’s a peanut butter filled churro covered with chocolate and peanuts. The photographer calls the tubes “wasteful” and while I appreciate good package design, I have to agree… […]

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

July 11th, 2008

It’s a sad thing to admit, but these bars look better than they taste.
The words “no bake” in a recipe have always scared me a bit. It generally seems to mean that you end up with some kind of cold, raw-ish tasting dessert, and what fun is that? But again, the other day it was […]

Hero Sized Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

July 10th, 2008

The above cookie is from Columbine in NYC.
This picture found on flickr kind of made me re-realize how much I love cookies. I think cookies are the sweet treat I crave the most. And this one looks just about my speed - lots of chips, some nuts thrown in… it’s hard to tell from the […]
