I was hoping to get this gift guide up a little sooner, but thankfully you still have some time to order your gifts and have them sent off for the holidays! (At least if it’s too late, you can always bookmark this page and save it for Valentine’s Day.)
It’s no secret that over the last […]

Peanut Butter Biscotti w/ Chocolate Chunks & Cocoa Nibs
November 19th, 2009
I LOVE biscotti, but Taste Tester has never really bothered with it. Biscotti tends to have nuts, which he can’t eat, and he’s also not crazy about the dry texture. But I think after whipping up a batch of Peanut Butter & Co’s Peanut Butter Biscotti with the addition of Askinosie Bittersweet Chocolate Chunks and […]
Crispy Oatmeal Florentines with Peanut Butter-Caramel Filling
November 4th, 2009
When I think of homemade baked goods, I generally dream of fuuudgy brownies and sofffft cookies. Soft and chewy treats are definitely my preference, however there are a few exceptions - one of which is the crispy, crunchy florentine.
Florentines are thin lace cookies traditionally made with chopped almonds. Unfortunately Taste Tester can’t eat nuts, so […]
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!)
A Chocolatey Proposal
October 26th, 2009
Sorry for the little hiatus - but I have a good excuse: Taste Tester and I got engaged!
We went on a midwestern road trip visiting Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri where we visited our friends at the Askinosie Chocolate factory.
Want proof? Here’s me in Iowa. (We don’t have corn like that in NJ):
Obviously, I […]
I ♥ Chicago
June 1st, 2009
Despite the fact that it’s weather kinda sucks, and its inhabitants (for the most part) need to be educated on what a good pizza slice is, Chicago is a pretty excellent place. Taste Tester and I used to live there and like to return fairly regularly to visit friends, family and of course chow down […]
Sir Francis Bacon: A Gustatory Adventure
May 5th, 2009
*Note: bacon bars do not actually talk.
While pondering the craziness of Peanut Butter Cup Chicken Mole, I thought about the equally crazy but widely accepted (thanks to Elvis) combo of peanut butter and bacon. Why not throw some chocolate in the mix, right? I briefly mentioned Sir Francis Bacon Peanut Brittle a little while back, […]
Photos From The National Peanut Board’s Peanut Tasting - Coming Soon!
March 18th, 2009
After writing that I didn’t have many pictures from The NPB’s Peanut Tasting Event, a few people kindly contacted me with photos of various products that were served or given out in goodie bags at the event. So sorry for the delay in postings, but I’ve been busy writing big long posts about said products […]
Askinosie Chocolate Design
February 23rd, 2009
Before I get into this whole great big post, I just wanted to announce that The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery just had it’s one year blogiversary! Yay! It’s been a whole year of chocolate peanut butter and I can’t believe how fast it went! I’ve learned a lot about CPB and met a ton of […]
