Going from the inside out, the […]

Vegan Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

August 27th, 2008

It’s been a while since I paid homage to the vegan community. Sorry it took me so long, but this one is for you guys!
Even though I’m not a vegan, I own the fabulous cookbook, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World, which is a must-own for any cupcake lover no matter if you’re a carnivore, […]

But What Does It Look Like?!

August 26th, 2008

Buying cookbooks (even though my shelf is completely packed full) is a vice of mine. I can’t help it. As long a book has an enticing name or a delicious looking photo on the cover (doesn’t that describe every cookbook?) I’m bound to at least investigate it.
When purchasing a cookbook from Amazon, I always […]

Ghirardelli Cookie Recipes

August 25th, 2008

Taste Tester made some fantastic chocolate chip cookies this week. Don’t tell him I said this, but these are better than any chocolate chip cookie I’ve made (or bought) in recent memory.
He used Clementine’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from Ghirardelli. If you’re wondering where the peanut butter is, these cookies don’t have any (but […]

Rachel Ray Loves Peanut Butter

August 21st, 2008

I picked up Rachel Ray’s Everyday Mag this month and was pleasantly surprised to find that peanut butter was mentioned at least a few times in the issue. It even included a recipe for these super tasty looking Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch Bars!
This recipe came with the quote, “I could happily live on chocolate […]

Petit Pain au Chocolate (and Peanut Butter!)

August 20th, 2008

So after my last sadly tragic attempt at making chocolate peanut butter croissants, you’d think I’d veer away from trying them again for a while. But I had a sheet of frozen puff pastry leftover from last time and tired of it mocking me every time I opened the freezer, I decided to give it […]

Rosa’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

August 19th, 2008

The other day on the way home, I stopped in a small grocery / convenience store and picked up a square of Rosa’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge. The fudge measured 1 3/8 inches and cost (I think) 85 cents.
I’m not sure if this is a knock on Rosa’s Fudge or the protein bar industry, […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake with Nutter Butters

August 18th, 2008

They teach you not to judge a cake by it’s cover, but this cake is truly as delicious as it looks.
It’s been a while since I baked a cake. I don’t bake cakes that often, but whenever I do this recipe comes to mind. It’s a recipe for Luscious Chocolate Cake from Lori Longbotham’s Luscious […]

Finding Chocolate & Peanut Butter on/near Long Beach Island - Part Deux

August 17th, 2008

Go ahead, call me immature for posting this photo. It looks like she’s analyzing some dog’s unhealthy excrement and it makes me giggle like a 10 year old boy. She’s really making some almond brittle and I had some - it was quite good. But more on treats from The Chocolate Fair in a minute…
