2009 CPB Holiday Gift Guide
December 14th, 2009
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 […]
A-Rod Wins at Brooklyn Kitchen’s 3rd Annual Cupcake Cookoff
May 12th, 2009
Taste Tester found out about Brooklyn Kitchen’s Third Annual Cupcake Cookoff on Friday, three days in advance. Given the short notice, my immediate reaction was not to bother with it because there wasn’t enough time to prepare. But after a little more coaxing and a bit of obsessing over what kind of chocolate peanut butter […]
Jer’s Cara Mella Peanut Butter Bar Review
January 15th, 2009
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 […]
Cupcakes in Dallas, TX
August 7th, 2008
If you’ve been a regular visitor of The CPB Gallery you know that I live in the NJ and recently took a road trip to Michigan and Illinois. This being the case, most of my cafe reviews revolve around the NY / NJ area but lately I’ve been blabbering about some of the many treats […]

August 6th, 2008
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 […]
Misha’s Cupcakes
July 16th, 2008
There has been an intense on-going debate for who makes the best cupcake in NYC. There are the Magnolia lovers and the Magnolia haters. There are lists upon lists and arguments upon arguments. Well, I’m here to settle the debate for you.
The best cupcake is NOT in NYC.
It’s in Florida. At a chain called Misha’s […]
Xooro Churro
July 14th, 2008
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… […]
Fancy Food Show, Part III: Dale and Thomas Popsters
July 8th, 2008
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. […]
Martha Stewart’s Brownie and Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches
June 27th, 2008
I had a little bit of time to kill before work the other day and browsed the cooking magazines for something to keep myself busy. Nothing jumped out because all of the covers kind of looked the same. Every magazine boasted either it’s best grilling recipes or photos of gigantic burgers.
This was all well […]
