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…

Happy Birthday to me!

August 10th, 2008

Yay! Today is that one day that seems to take forever to roll around. It’s the day that I get to eat my very own slice of birthday cake! What? Presents too? Nah I don’t need those, just give me some cake and a fork. Actually forget the fork, I don’t need it. I have […]

Take 5 Cookie Recipe

August 8th, 2008

It’s Friday, so you should take five!
I only discovered the Take 5 candy bar a year or two ago, but have been hooked ever since. Chocolate, peanut butter, pretzels, caramel, peanuts… oh man. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, someone turned it into a cookie!
It’s a peanut butter cookie with chocolate […]

If you’ve been a regular visitor of The CPB Gallery you know that I live in the NJ and recently took a road trip to Michigan and Illinois. This being the case, most of my cafe reviews revolve around the NY / NJ area but lately I’ve been blabbering about some of the many treats […]
