Fourth of July Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue

July 4th, 2008

News Alert: The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery is taking a short break from Fancy Food Show Coverage in lieu of the holiday. Full coverage shall resume tomorrow!
Holidays are busy, it’s hot and there’s a pool calling my name. I don’t want to be slaving in the kitchen making some elaborate dessert and I’m sure you […]

Peanut Butter Monkey with Banana and Chocolate Chips

June 23rd, 2008

How adorable is this? It was made for a kid but as an adult I could eat it too, right? Right?!
This crazy cute sandwich was created as an entry for The Crafty Crow Funny Food Contest. Unfortunately the contest ended yesterday but I think it’s still worth checking the blog out for the voting process […]

Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Loaf

June 11th, 2008

Here’s an interesting alternative to ice cream as a “stay cool” dessert for the summer. And by interesting I mean, delicious.
The base of this dessert is made with the simple combination of semi-sweet chocolate, banana puree, creamy peanut butter and heavy cream. It’s frozen and topped with chopped nuts.
What I love about this recipe is […]

Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Icing

June 4th, 2008

I recently received Crescent City Cooking by Susan Spicer as a gift. My taste tester decided to try out her recipe for Chocolate Chip Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Icing, but used the batter to make cupcakes instead of a full on cake. He made them while visiting family in Chicago, but was kind […]

French Toast (continued)

May 21st, 2008

A while back I tried making some Banana Dark Chocolate Stuffed French Toast. It was a pretty good first attempt, but it tasted a little more like a panini as opposed to french toast probably because I didn’t let the bread soak for long enough. The flavor was right but overall it was too crunchy […]

Fluffernutter Torte

April 11th, 2008

To cap off a week of culinary creativity at The CPB Gallery, check out this amazing cake. It was made by Heather Gilbert (also known as flickr user Alizarin8) who is clearly a culinary genius. This is the anatomy (it contains 6 layers and 3 garnishes!) from bottom to top:
Pate sucre, salted peanut caramel, banana […]

Quaker Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Rice Cakes

April 5th, 2008

I promote a lot of unhealthy foods on this website. This is pretty obvious, given the site’s name. What may not be so obvious is that aside from eating rich desserts, I actually eat pretty healthfully on the whole. One of my all time favorite healthy snacks since childhood has been rice cakes. To those […]

Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 18th, 2008

Come on, does that photo get your mouth watering a bit or what?
Assuming you didn’t see the headline of this post, could you tell by that photo that these cookies are flourless and vegan?! Well I think it’s pretty great that one recipe can satisfy not one but two special diet needs. And if you […]

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Panini

February 22nd, 2008

Being that the filling in this sandwich is so soft, it’s best to use a hearty bread for a bit of contrast of textures. But if you can’t get your hands on a crusty italian bread from the bakery, one of the nuttier breads from the grocery store will do nicely as well. Try a […]
