Zingerman’s Original Zzang Bar Review

August 6th, 2008

Zzang!! Go ahead, say it - it’s fun… ZZANG!!
The Original ZZANG is one tasty chocolate bar.
I posted the description yesterday but here it is again:
“Made by hand at Zingerman’s Bakehouse, Charlie Frank uses the best ingredients you can pronounce. Starting with a honey nougat made with natural peanut butter, Charlie rolls it up in […]

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 […]

Fancy Food Show, Part III: Dale and Thomas Popsters

July 8th, 2008

This is one of the few photos from the Fancy Food Show that actually came out clear. I’m a fan of Dale and Thomas’s products and not just because they’re from my state (NJ - represent!). They make some really fun, creative products, at least a couple of which contain both chocolate and peanut butter. […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Graduation Cupcakes

June 18th, 2008

There are lots of ideas for graduation party desserts floating around the web right now and I’ve especially been noticing a lot of cupcakes. People toil making fancy graduation caps out of fondant but for your average person, this is far too much work. Luckily I came across this incredibly easy decorating idea on flickr. […]

See’s Candies Review: Peanut Butter Patties & P-Nut Crunch

May 20th, 2008

It seems really unfair to review the chocolates I got at See’s Candies after reviewing what appears to be the crowned glory of peanut butter filled chocolate, the Vosges Peanut Butter Bonbon, but such is life.
These were a gift from my taste tester who visited one of See’s locations in Phoenix, Arizona. See’s markets itself […]

Midtown Manhattan Candy Store Tour

May 5th, 2008

Wow, have I got a lot of fun stuff to show you today!
I have lived in the NYC area for most of my life, but decided to pretend to be a tourist there for you this week. But not just any tourist… a candy shop tourist!
I was a bit early for work the other day […]

Dale Jr’s Big Mo’ Bar & Champion Cheesecake Cupcakes

May 3rd, 2008

This bar has been sitting in my chocolate peanut butter stash for a couple of weeks now waiting it’s turn to be tasted / reviewed. Finding a recipe that calls for the bar on the web reminded me about it, and so I finally took a bite.

We are used to seeing celebrity faces grace the […]

Economy Candy = Paradise

April 28th, 2008

Yesterday I went on Scott’s Pizza Tour, a tour that takes you all around various pizzerias of NYC (on a yellow school bus - awesome!) and tells you everything there is to know about NYC pizza. We learned a lot, ate a lot, laughed a lot- it was just an awesome experience.
But, this is not […]

Vegan Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles

April 16th, 2008

It’s been a while since I found something sweet and delicious for vegans, but boy did I find something for you this time. This Vegan Oreo Peanut Butter Truffle was made by flickr user pilliebee. Did I mention I have a horrible weakness to oreos? And we all know I have a bit of an […]

Candyfreak by Steve Almond

April 1st, 2008

I realize writing a review of a book before you have finished it is not the norm, but I just had to share this quote from Steve Almond’s Candyfreak with you:
“Every now and again, I’ll run into someone who claims not to like chocolate or other sweets, and while we live in a country where […]
