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 […]

Jenny, of the awesome blog Jenny Mac’s Lipsmack was kind enough to share a bunch of delicious recipes that she’s made and blogged about. Here they are, but be warned - that summer diet you were so good about sticking to is about to be ruined (but you expected that from the moment you opened […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to let go of summer just yet! Already there’s a slight chill in the air, and even though it’s the first day of September (how does that always come so fast?) I have still been craving the cold, refreshing desserts of summer.
Today’s recipe is for a […]

Don’t be fooled by that picture - it looks small, but that cookie measures 4 inches across and 1 inch thick. That’s a whole lotta cookie!
Today is a very special day at The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery. I finally got to taste cookies from a bakery that I’ve been dreaming about for five years! FIVE! […]

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in posts. I had some family obligations this week and wasn’t able to write - you know I wouldn’t skip out on my chocolate and peanut butter without good reason!
Lucky for me, it appears that you cpb lovers have telepathic powers because in my absence, you have been nice […]

According to the video on their website, Choclatique makes 150 different varieties of chocolates. Of their chocolates, co-founder Ed Engoron says that his […]

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 […]

This cookie doesn’t really taste like any other cookie I’ve had before. The best way I can describe it is that it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in cookie form with Snickers Bars mixed in. Can you imagine that? If not, it might be because you haven’t tasted anything like it either. The oats give […]

It’s a pretty obvious fact that our country is a bit unstable at the moment. But letting the sinking economy affect your holiday cheer isn’t going to do any good.
Instead, we should all be thankful that even though there are so many awful things going on in the world, many of us including myself […]

Yes I am writing about something other than the cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in NYC.
It took me a long time to get my butt over to Magnolia Bakery. I spent four years in the city for college, never having gone there and finally made my first visit in the heat of the SNL Lazy Sunday […]
