Were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a regular staple for you as a kid? Then you’re going to love these.
This recipe has been in my bookmarks for a while, but it wasn’t until I tasted the PB&J truffle from Ethel’s last week that I was reminded how great the peanut-butter-jelly-chocolate combo is. I think […]

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 […]

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 […]

Taste Tester and I took a quick trip over to Vegas for business this week. Instead of getting drunk and gambling away our life’s worth, we learned a few things about Sin City:
- It is truly awesome to leave the snow shovels and thermals behind to run around outside in a t-shirt in mid-February.
- […]

Wow, it’s been two whole years of chocolate and peanut butter blogging! I wonder how much chocolate and peanut butter I’ve actually consumed. Then again, maybe I don’t want to know!

Snow Day! What’d you do to celebrate? I made cookies!

I have been particularly happy with this month’s Every Day with Rachael Ray and not just because of their crazy in-depth pizza article. One of my favorite contributors to Rachael’s mag is Silvana Nardone. I made her Cheesecake-Filled Pumpkin Cupcakes from the November issue and as […]

I may write about the same two ingredients all the time but you’ll rarely find me experimenting with chocolate and/or peanut butter on a savory level. Well, I went outside my comfort zone of cookies and brownies a little this week and gave savory a whirl.
Adam of one of my favorite blogs, Amateur Gourmet recently […]

The wonderful Marni of Happy Go Marni informed me of a fun peanut butter-related post on Serious Eats, written by Peanut Butter Enthusiast Lee Zalben of PB&Co. In the post, Lee ponders people’s various peanut butter eating habits.
With about 100 comments following the article, people clearly have an opinion. Quite a few comments reference my […]

It’s Peanut Butter Nutella time! Peanut Butter Nutella time!
All winter long I have been crazy for hot chocolate. Thankfully we have a helpful cookbook on our shelf called- well… Hot Chocolate. It includes many delicious chocolate drink recipes that will surely keep me happy for the rest of these evil winter months. It’s even got […]

I ate a total of 8 of these last week (for the purpose of research, of course) and I can tell you from my experience that these are some puzzling muffins.
When they came out of the oven, I bit into one while they were still warm. Upon that bite, I didn’t have much love […]
