Lindsay, who you may remember from the Atlanta Cupcake Tour was in town visiting us last weekend and we managed to eat and/or drink at 22 different places in […]

The Joycup Co. Peanut Butter Cup Review

April 12th, 2010

The Joycup Co.’s slogan is, “not your everyday chocolate cup.” I’m not sure that these treats could have a more fitting motto.
Chocolate and peanut butter are not subtle flavors. There’s a good chance that they could easily overpower whatever you mix them with. That being said, I’m not sure how Danna J. Dykstra-Coy, owner of […]

Madelaine’s Chocolate Duets

April 9th, 2010

There’s a reason that I decided to write a blog about two flavors instead of just one: I like desserts with different layers and textures. Layers make each bite exciting and a little different. Madelaine’s new Duets chocolates are truffles with two different flavored fillings sandwiched together, creating a fun mixed flavor sensation. Given my […]

A Happy Easter with Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Eggs

April 5th, 2010

I love candy, but there are a few times of year that I really get in the mood for it. Halloween is an obvious one, Christmas, Valentine’s Day of course, and then there’s Easter. I’m not sure what it is about egg shaped candy that gets me but I love them all: Russell Stover Eggs […]

The only thing better than laying eyes on this giant peanut butter egg Easter morning would be seeing a peanut butter hen large enough to hatch it!
This egg is a whopping 6 ounces of chocolate-covered peanut butter and measures in around 4 inches long (the photo above is just about actual size). Differing slightly from […]

Reese’s Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs

February 26th, 2010

I am an adult (or at least my age dictates so) but when I walk in to a store this time of year and see a display of Reese’s Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs, it never fails to make me want to shriek with glee, grab a bag and go running out of the store […]

Las Vegas Part 2: Ethel’s Chocolates

February 25th, 2010

I had first heard of Ethel’s Chocolates a few years ago while living in Chicago, where they had multiple shops. Sadly according to Yelp, it appears that most (maybe all?) of their Chi-town locations have closed. I never knew that they were based in Las Vegas but figured what better place to revisit them than […]

Oh, how I love this time of year. You get to spend a little extra time with your family and friends and of course, eat your heart out. Here are some tasty treats I’ve gotten ahold of throughout the holidays:
I had seen the callout for Saratoga Peanut Butter Company in Everyday with Rachael Ray a […]

Happy Halloween!

October 31st, 2009

Have fun building up your sweets stash today! Remember to barter for chocolate peanut butter treats!
(Credit for this carving-a-Reeses idea goes to Taste Tester who saw it on a Reeses Halloween commercial. Unfortunately it was so irresistible that our dog snuck into my photo area and ate it shortly after the shoot!)
