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 […]
Two Dumb Dames’ Pretzel Explosion
October 29th, 2009
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 […]
Peanut Butter Waffle Toast
October 7th, 2009
Yes, that’s right: Waffle Toast. When I saw the name, I really thought it was a type-o. Then I mentioned it to Taste Tester and he said that it was something his mom made for him growing up. To quote the wordsmith Chris Griffin, “Whaaaaaaa?” I felt so out of the loop! I’d lived an […]
P.B.Loco’s Peanut Butter with Cocoa Banana
October 6th, 2009
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 […]
Feelin’ lovey dovey with my ‘Chubby Hubby’
August 20th, 2009
Question: If a chubby hubby eats ‘Chubby Hubby’ does that count as cannibalism?
Taste Tester purchased some of Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby on a recommendation from the friendly owner of a 24-hour bodega a couple doors down from us. Could it be? A chocolate peanut butter enabler within feet of my apartment? Eep!
Chubby Hubby consists […]
Linktastic Roundup
July 16th, 2009
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 […]
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, […]
Choclatique Is One Unique Chocolate Boutique
April 9th, 2009
I love finding a company that makes a chocolate peanut butter product. I love it even more when they make a bunch of them! Chocolatique has quite a chocolate peanut butter filled repertoire.
According to the video on their website, Choclatique makes 150 different varieties of chocolates. Of their chocolates, co-founder Ed Engoron says that his […]
