Three weeks in the Chicagoland area sounded like a long time and yet it flew by. We saw lots and ate lots on our trip. We had one last weekend in the city before leaving the area and tried to make the most of it.
We took an architectural boat tour down the Chicago River…

Double birthdays means double the birthday treats! Taste Tester and I celebrated our birthdays with Chocolate Opera Cake and Happy Face Peanut Butter Pancakes (see sketch after the break). Read on for the recipes!
Just a small note before you continue: some internet meanies have been tinkering with my site (jerks!). We are working on fixing […]
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 […]
While spending a good amount of time in the car on our road trip a couple weeks ago, Taste Tester and I decided to count how many states we’d been to. After tallying him at 34 and me at 25, we decided to add another new one to the list: Arkansas. It was only a […]
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 […]

Can you imagine that? If not, it might be because you haven’t tasted anything like it either. The oats give […]
I found out about Jer’s at the Fancy Food Show in NYC last June. As someone who writes a blog focused only on chocolate and peanut butter it was shocking to find that somehow I hadn’t known about the company that only produces products made with chocolate and peanut butter. How did this happen? Clearly […]
It’s a pretty obvious fact that our country is a bit unstable at the moment. But letting the sinking economy affect your holiday cheer isn’t going to do any good.
Instead, we should all be thankful that even though there are so many awful things going on in the world, many of us including myself […]
It’s Friday, so you should take five!
I only discovered the Take 5 candy bar a year or two ago, but have been hooked ever since. Chocolate, peanut butter, pretzels, caramel, peanuts… oh man. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, someone turned it into a cookie!
It’s a peanut butter cookie with chocolate […]
Zzang!! Go ahead, say it - it’s fun… ZZANG!!
The Original ZZANG is one tasty chocolate bar.
I posted the description yesterday but here it is again:
“Made by hand at Zingerman’s Bakehouse, Charlie Frank uses the best ingredients you can pronounce. Starting with a honey nougat made with natural peanut butter, Charlie rolls it up in […]
