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 […]

Ah, summer… try as you will to make it as hot and unbearable in my kitchen as you can, your efforts are futile. I have defeated your forces once again and prevailed to share a delicious snack with the world.
A little dramatic? Yes, but I’m on a sugar buzz, so cut me some slack.

This might be enough of a reason to describe me as certifiably insane, but I decided to bake yesterday. It should be noted that this was the temperature outside after it had cooled down two degrees:

While I was baking it was “98, feels like 101″ with 40% humidity and I have no air conditioning in […]

If you are a frequent CPBG reader, you may have heard me mention my taste tester at some point. Whenever I’m out shopping, I browse around for treats to pick up for me (of course!), but I also keep an eye out for things to buy for him. He deserves it as he lends his […]

For a little light weekend reading, here is a love story for you:
“Hand in hand, P. Nut Butter and Choc O. Late dance through this brownie ballroom. The perfect couple twists and turns to the confectionery beat of peanut butter cups and the symphony of peanut butter frosting.”
That is a quote from Simply Divine’s official […]

Especially since the description reads, “chewy, soft & fudgy”. That for me, is the description of the ultimate […]

Where does the crisp in these brownies come from?… Well if the above graphic didn’t give it away, maybe you don’t deserve to know. It’s potato chips, of course!
I see a lot of repeated concepts in the world of chocolate and peanut butter treats, but I get a little extra excited to find a recipe […]

I know, I know… yesterday was a holiday during which you overindulged and today it’s back to the diet… blah, blah. So I’ll be nice and talk about something healthy as opposed to tempting you with some rich chocolate & peanut butter desserts.

The Zone Perfect Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar weighs […]

The Eagle Family Foods site may not be the first place you’d think to look for a chocolate peanut butter recipe, but they have some very easy and tasty ones. There are days when I feel like breaking out a recipe book that has gourmet concoctions that take three pages of instructions to make. However […]

Tagline: “superfood nutrition bar for optimum vibrance.”
The package calls out that the bar contains over 1 tablespoon of power greens (power greens… huh?) and that it’s gluten free. It’s 1.76 oz (50g) and has 190 calories only 60 of which are from fat and also boasts 6g of protein. Neat.
A look at the ingredients […]
