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 […]

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 […]

Not the greatest shot, but that’s Zingerman’s Delicatessen in the background, the cafe is in the foreground and in between is an outdoor seating area for patrons to chow down.
The second Taste Tester mentioned going to Michigan for vacation, the first thing that popped into my head was finally getting the chance to visit Zingerman’s […]

Today’s post is dedicated to Susan, a chocolate peanut butter loving friend!
Okay, I’m taking a short break from all this product and restaurant reviewing to bring you a tasty cookie recipe. I constantly bookmark recipes for chocolate and peanut butter desserts and it’s rare, but once in a while I actually remember to check in […]

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 […]

We’ve explored some fancy shmancy cupcakes the last couple days, so I think it’s time to go back to basics. When you’re on a road trip, you may have destinations that will bring to you luxurious gourmet desserts, but along the way, a craving can hit, and the most convenient place to stop is generally […]

The incredible Vegan Peanut Butter Cupcake posted above is from The Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago (from flickr user The Bleeding Heart Bakery). Drooling yet?
Taste Tester and I were only in Chicago for two days, and since we bought over a dozen cupcakes on our visit to Molly’s Cupcakes we didn’t get around to visiting […]

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 […]

So remember yesterday when I said I was going away for a little while? Well… I wasn’t kidding actually. Though I’m going on vacation, I will be posting when I’m able to, and well… I’m able to (at least today). And these photos found on flickr were just too crazy not to share.

Next time you […]

The Sky Bar is a pretty chocolate bar. The design of the bar’s shape is very Art Deco, which makes sense since this bar debuted in the 1930s. According to Necco’s website, it was first announced to the public by means of a dramatic skywriting advertising campaign. Fun! It was the only candy bar to […]
