Oh I love cupcakes! This Upper West Side piece of sunny goodness has a unique and delicious take on a cupcake. Buttercup is owned by the same person who started Magnolia Bakery in the West Village, so they already know what they are doing. When choosing a delectable treat, I had no hesitation when I saw the “Peanut Butter and Jelly” cupcake! Read More »

Tucked away in the lower east side of Manhattan is this little bakery with mighty treats. My fiancé and I had a hard time deciding what to order so we tried a few things. I ordered the traditional vanilla cupcake with butter cream icing. He had a Read More »

Down in the West Village, is a restaurant not to be missed, especially by peanut butter lovers.

I know what you’re thinking, “Why in the world would a steakhouse be getting a dessert review?” This definitely was a shock to me when I ordered a certain dessert there called “Coffee and Donuts.” The name alone sparked my curiosity, but just wait until I tell you what was served to me. This is a brilliant sundae idea. What is brought out to you is a Read More »

Not only is this midtown restaurant a cute and cozy place to have a good meal and quiet conversation, it holds the key to the peanut butter and chocolate lovers heart.

One of their dessert choices is Read More »

Being from Columbus, OH and an Ohio State Buckeye fan, I was surprised when one of my favorite candy’s was not here in NYC. Again, I am a peanut butter and chocolate freak so this one is a big hitter for me. Ohio’s state nut is the Buckeye. It is poisonous to eat a real one, but incredible to eat the candy that looks like it! They are also fun to make! Enjoy a bit of Ohio! Read More »

If you are up for a quite different dessert experience, you must go to this unique rice pudding place called Rice To Riches. With the ultimate rice pudding fan in town to visit me (my mom), there was no question it was time to try one or two of the amazing and constantly changing flavors of rice pudding they offer. The décor is retro and modern, matching perfectly to their whole new dessert idea. They have all kinds of Read More »
