I’ve already raved about P.B.Loco’s Peanut Butter with Raspberry White Chocolate, but it’s now time to put the spotlight on it’s fellow spread, the Cocoa Banana.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to do anything fun with this peanut butter like bake cookies with it or drizzle it over ice cream - I was too busy eating it […]

Well something must have been in the air this week because chocolate and peanut butter made appearances all over the web! Check out these great finds. And thanks to Faith at The Kitchn and Taste Tester for keeping me in the loop!

1. The ever awesome and super tantalizing website, The Kitchn posted some mouth-watering pictures […]

Back in May, I was so busy baking for Brooklyn Kitchen’s Cupcake Cookoff that I forgot to take a decent pictures of my finished cupcakes. I recently made another batch of A-Rod cupcakes for my friends at Askinosie Chocolate when they were in town for The Fancy Food Show and finally got some decent pictures. […]

Uh oh, watch out - we’re on a cupcake kick again!
Taste Tester wanted to visit Sweet Revenge ages ago. It took us a while, but we recently gained the motivation to go from this list of New York’s Best Cupcakes by Nancy Olson of Gramery Tavern. Nancy raved about Sweet Revenge’s “The Sweet Revenge” peanut […]

Just to give you an idea of what a few days in the life of a total sweets addict are like, here’s a list of all the baked goods I ate / ogled over the holiday weekend. Taste Tester’s family was in town and we wandered all over the city for various tourist activities, so […]

On Wednesday March 4th, the National Peanut Board held a tasting event in NYC. Sometimes I really love living in NYC because where else would there be an event to honor peanuts during which they serve only foods made with peanuts?
The tasting took place downtown at the Astor Center. It was the first event […]

I recently visited various delicious bakeries and gourmet markets in NYC with with my partner in crime, Carla D. I plan on making up a map of our route to share with you, but couldn’t wait until then to post pics of these marvelous cookies.
I had heard about Levain Bakery a long while ago […]

“Sigh. There it is again.”
*flips through*
“Ooooh!… Chocolate Caramel-Pecan Souffle!
“No. My shelf is way too full. I can’t even jam […]
