The ice cream in the above photo is the “Kiddie” size at King’s Trading Post Party Store. It’s got like three scoops of ice cream in it. Welcome to the midwest, everyone.
You can’t tell from the pic but it’s topped with chocolate ice cream and the bottom is peanut butter. The consensus was that the […]

Rather than making you read over the weekend here’s a clip for you to watch from Rachel Ray’s daytime show where she demonstrates how to make two dessert sauces from the bottom of the peanut butter jar. The two sauces are a Peanut Butter Chocolate Sauce and Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce.
I know people that […]

Motivated by a chocolate peanut butter craving, Taste Tester and I wandered into Ridgewood, NJ last night - and I do mean wandered. Van Dyk’s Ice Cream is tucked away off the beaten path but well worth seeking out. I had been there once a few years ago, tasted their fantastic ice cream and […]

A sticker after my own heart…
Last night after filling my stomach with delicious steak tacos (at Taqueria Downtown in Jersey City, NJ - mmmm) me and The Official Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery Taste Tester Extraordinaire stopped by Torico’s Premium Homemade Ice Cream Parlor, which sells - you guessed it - premium homemade ice cream.
We […]

Mostly I love shakes because they’re so easy. It doesn’t really matter what you have in your kitchen - ice cream, frozen yogurt, regular yogurt, chocolate milk, regular milk, ice… as long as you’re creative you can make something yummy.
If you’re tired of the same old icy drink, treat yourself […]

Happy Hump Day!
I don’t know about you, but Wednesday is always a bit of a tough day, especially around early afternoon. You’re only halfway through the week and halfway between lunch and dinner. You’re feeling anxious and your tummy is growling. What better way to get through it than with something sweet? And I’m not […]

The above is not a direct quote from Nigella, but is it just me or does hearing her slowly describe her recipes in her English accent make them sound more tempting? You disagree? Okay, re-read the above in boring American speak and tell me it has the same effect. Yeah, I thought so.

Ever since the first time I ordered this ice cream / topping combination at Cold Stone, I have yet to change my order. It’s perfect. We finally decided to just buy the biggest size they sell and keep it stowed away in our freezer so as to eliminate the possibility of running out of it. […]

These are Chocolate Chunk Cookies from Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook. If you don’t have this book yet, you should grab a copy. Right now. Go ahead, this blog isn’t going anywhere. I’ve tried an innumerable amount of recipes from it and it is the clear favorite of my baking books. 
This recipe is great as it was […]
