i heart peanut butter.

I heart peanut butter...love crunchy the best...
But...there is a new favorite in town...
Peanut Butter & Co. {all natural}
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Dreams
leaves me "dreaming" for more! Really.
This stuff is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

It is like eating a peanut butter cup...but in peanut butter form.
It has a smooth, fluffy texture...love.it. The dark chocolate flavor is a lovely addition to the PB!
A spoonful is wonderful. I even put a big glob on top of my oatmeal this morning!
Great for a mid-afternoon snack too!!! TRY SOME!

And...they have other flavas too...cinnamon swirl, white chocolate, mighty maple, and others!
Click here to learn more about this product!
I am more than satisfied with my purchase...slightly obsessed! Oh...I found mine at my local Publix...around $5 for the jar----but, you don't eat much in a serving...so it does last!
{And...there is a recipe spot on the website...can't wait to play with Dark Chocolate Dreams!

Good cup of Joe!

I love good coffee...I splurge on my coffee from time to time...
However, I have found one of my favorites these days is Dunkin' Donuts Dark!
I can't believe I'm saying this...but SBucks is starting to taste like an ashtray to me...So...I will be sticking with "DD" and a local establishment {another post!}

This coffee has a nice, bold flavor...and...it is nice and dark!
It is around $7.99 a bag.
But...Publix and Target run sales on Dunkin' Donuts coffee...all the time! I stock up!
{i love the decaf too...i really like to mix the dark and decaf!}
And...if you live in {205}---a Dunkin' Donuts just opened out in Pelham!
Fun times! Happy Sipping on this chilly, rainy day!

Merlot Friday!

Hello! Happy Friday! I want to share a nice wine we sipped on this week!
A wine I have not had in a long time...but, it was just perfect for a wind down after a long day! Estancia makes a good wine for the price!
And...they tend to put it on sale a good bit, too! We found the merlot on sale last weekend! This wine has a pretty red, ruby color...and it is nice and smooth...We enjoyed with dinner two nights this week...and it is delish with a piece of dark chocolate. It has a berry flavor to me...it says it has hints of mocha...but, I didn't pick those up in my tasting. My husband should write these wine reviews...he has crazy, sensitive taste buds...can pull out flavas well! :) I, on the other hand, just like the wine because it is good! ha! But...this is a "good 'n!' for sure! Oh...I believe it runs in the $10-$15 range!Happy Weekend! Happy Sipping!

I love me some dark chocolate...
like, I have a nibble/chunk {depending on the day} every night!
Lindt's Dark Chocolate with a touch of sea salt is one of the more interesting dark chocolates I have sampled in a while. I was a bit skeptical at first...but, I am sold on it now!
Now...to review the taste...it is a mild chocolate...not super dark---I do wish it was a bit darker...but, it is still a nice piece of chocolate. Like I said, I like really dark{er} chocolate!
This is more creamy with a touch of dark...the salt hits at the end, nice surprise!
And...it is so smooth with a good glass of red wine!
If you have passed by this in the store and wondered about the taste...
give it a try! Your taste buds will be pleasantly surprised---mine sure were!
Happy Tasting...And...Happy Weekend to you!
