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 […]

Las Vegas Part 2: Ethel’s Chocolates
February 25th, 2010
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 […]

Oh, how I love this time of year. You get to spend a little extra time with your family and friends and of course, eat your heart out. Here are some tasty treats I’ve gotten ahold of throughout the holidays:

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 […]
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 […]
A Chocolatey Proposal
October 26th, 2009
Sorry for the little hiatus - but I have a good excuse: Taste Tester and I got engaged!
We went on a midwestern road trip visiting Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri where we visited our friends at the Askinosie Chocolate factory.
Want proof? Here’s me in Iowa. (We don’t have corn like that in NJ):
Obviously, I […]
The Peckish Are Coming! The Peckish Are Coming!
August 27th, 2009
It’s amazing how Boston is only a three hour drive away and yet I’ve only been there a few times in my life. Taste Tester and I visited this past weekend and had a great time. There are lots of fun things to do there like:
Thing #1: Walk the Freedom Trail and see some historic […]
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 […]
The National Peanut Board’s Peanut Tasting Event in NYC
March 10th, 2009
On Wednesday March 4th, the National Peanut Board held a tasting event in NYC. Sometimes I really love living in NYC because where else would there be an event to honor peanuts during which they serve only foods made with peanuts?
The tasting took place downtown at the Astor Center. It was the first event […]
