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 […]

Hi people! I missed you during vacation, but I’m back to share some fun chocolate and peanut butter adventures from my road trip to Michigan and Illinois.
Taste Tester, Taste Tester’s brother, and Jackie Brown (our Chocolate Labrador) and I drove from New Jersey to the Canadian Lakes in Stanwood Michigan, stopping in Ann Arbor on […]

This photo of a crazy looking churro and the tube it came in was found on flickr. It’s called the “Mississippi” and it costs a mighty $4. It’s a peanut butter filled churro covered with chocolate and peanuts. The photographer calls the tubes “wasteful” and while I appreciate good package design, I have to agree… […]

It’s a sad thing to admit, but these bars look better than they taste.
The words “no bake” in a recipe have always scared me a bit. It generally seems to mean that you end up with some kind of cold, raw-ish tasting dessert, and what fun is that? But again, the other day it was […]

The above cookie is from Columbine in NYC.
This picture found on flickr kind of made me re-realize how much I love cookies. I think cookies are the sweet treat I crave the most. And this one looks just about my speed - lots of chips, some nuts thrown in… it’s hard to tell from the […]

This is more of an idea than a recipe since there are no exact amounts given. And rather than write it out like usual, I decided to make a cartoon. This idea is based on a recipe for Amaretti Ice Cream Balls by Rachel Ray. If I were you, I’d make it with Nigella’s Chocolate […]

This is one of the few photos from the Fancy Food Show that actually came out clear. I’m a fan of Dale and Thomas’s products and not just because they’re from my state (NJ - represent!). They make some really fun, creative products, at least a couple of which contain both chocolate and peanut butter. […]

Not the most photogenic treat, but don’t be fooled, this stuff is addictive.
Side Note: I think I’m going to mix it up a little and post items from the food show every couple days instead of every single day. This way you can still come here for recipe ideas and I can blab about what’s […]

Whew! The Fancy Food Show was fun and delicious but man am I tired! I took a couple days to relax but I’m back now to tell you all about it.
It was interesting walking around talking to various companies that produce chocolate and peanut butter products. They’d ask what I do and sometimes after explaining […]

Ah, summer… try as you will to make it as hot and unbearable in my kitchen as you can, your efforts are futile. I have defeated your forces once again and prevailed to share a delicious snack with the world.
A little dramatic? Yes, but I’m on a sugar buzz, so cut me some slack.
This recipe […]
