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 […]

Taste Tester and I took a quick trip over to Vegas for business this week. Instead of getting drunk and gambling away our life’s worth, we learned a few things about Sin City:
- It is truly awesome to leave the snow shovels and thermals behind to run around outside in a t-shirt in mid-February.
- […]

On our latest trip to Chicagoland, Taste Tester and I tried a few new chocolate peanut butter cupcakes in addition to our standby faves from Molly’s.
The Bleeding Heart Bakery started out on Chicago Ave just a few blocks from where Taste Tester and I lived in Chicago a few years ago. Not being vegan or […]

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 had seen the callout for Saratoga Peanut Butter Company in Everyday with Rachael Ray a […]

In honor of National Peanut Butter Month, Yelp’s New York City Weekly Newsletter was all about peanut butter. I was of course happy to read a newsletter about one of my favorite ingredients, only to find that I was in it! They featured a review I had written about one of my favorite nyc cupcakeries, […]

I’ve already raved about P.B.Loco’s Peanut Butter with Raspberry White Chocolate, but it’s now time to put the spotlight on it’s fellow spread, the Cocoa Banana.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to do anything fun with this peanut butter like bake cookies with it or drizzle it over ice cream - I was too busy eating it […]

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! […]

Peanut Butter Bum Bar. Say that three times fast!
Yeah… I couldn’t do it either.
I picked up this Peanut Butter Bum Bar by Luminous Kitchen when we visited The Southport Grocery in Chicago. Its surface is bejeweled with chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruit, so I had high hopes for its flavor.

I’ve spoken many times before […]

I have been a fan of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt for a long time. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I survived my college years on a habitual diet of Odwalla Bars, Peanut Butter & Co Peanut Butters, Pepperidge Farm Soft-Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Stonyfield Farm Yogurt. So you can imagine my excitement when I […]
