Creamsicle, Peanut Butter and Jelly
Sometimes I feel glutinous eating marshmallows on their own. Thankfully someone has decided to make gourmet ones sandwiched between two soft graham crackers so I don’t have to feel so guilty about pigging out!
The Summer s’more flavours (including Cotton Candy, Bacon, Piña Colada, and Pink Lemonade - to name a few) are delicious and pastel coloured! Perfect for my Birthday party!
Peanut Butter Cups + Classic Almond Butter
Justin claims to have the BEST nut butter in the world and I may have to completely totally agree with him!
I feel like I could rave about the almond butters forever! I absolutely love the different flavours like maple almond, or honey almond (even the classic is spoon to mouth worthy)!
What really impressed me is when I found out he even makes exquisite peanut butter cups!! DESSERT!!! I couldn’t even ask for anything more!!
Clearly I’m HIGHLY recommending everyone to try!

Peanut Butter Lava Cake
As seen on Top Chef Canada, Trevor Bird (as per our suggestion… and constant nagging) has finally made his off-screen dessert debut!
He insists that this dessert is perfect for the peanut butter lover who would eat it by the spoonful (that’s ME!!)!
I don’t have anything negative to say, the cake and the creamy “lava” that flows from inside is a flawless PB heaven. The sorbet (raspberry on the night of my visit) and jam on the plate add to the nostalgia of growing up eating PB and J sandwiches.
Here’s to the adult PB lovers in all of us!
BakeHouse Bakery (Port Coquitlam - British Columbia)
(top: clockwise spiral starting with the cookie on the bottom left) Oatmeal Pumpkin Craisin Cookie, Peanut Butter Cookie, Turtle Cookie, Rocky Road Cookie, Malteaser Bar, Cakecycle (or cakepop!), Coconut Cream Bon Bon, Peanut Butter Bon Bon, Bunny Ball, Chocolate Drenched Cheese Cake
(bottom) Red Velvet Whoopie Pie
It’s great finding a good bakery so close to home, yet it’s also a curse! Every time I go into one I feel the strongest urge to try one of everything that catches my interest - this time a FULL box of goodies.
I really enjoyed everything, but the standouts were definitely the bon bons. I wasn’t expecting such rich smooth centres, and they’re waaaaay too tiny to share (perfect for me!)!
Cocolico by Wendy Boys (Vancouver)
Vanilla Salt Caramels with Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Crunch
I kept hearing about these chocolates from blogs, twitter, and tv, so I KNEW they must be delicious. I once even saw them in a store and thought “gosh, those chocolates are expeeeeeeenSIVE!”
Lucky for me (and Cocolico) I saved up my pocket change and at this years MAKE IT! decided to splurge on a bunch of treats I’d been wanting to check out. So glad I did! I’m not going to say I’m madly in love with them, but I’ve definitely been treasuring my hidden stash!
Cactus Club Cafe (British Columbia, Alberta)
Peanut Butter Crunch Bar
As one of Chef Rob Feenie’s Signature dishes I knew it would be delicious!
I purposefully ordered this though because part of the proceeds is going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation… AND HELLOOOOOOO peanut butter!!!
p.s. Don’t be jealous if yours doesn’t come with a candle to melt your ice cream quicker!
PB and Chocolate Smoothie
New at Jugo is this incredible (and decently healthy - what!?) drink. Using low fat yogurt, all natural peanut butter, chocolate almond milk, and frozen bananas, this smoothie is going to get me coming back time and time again ALL SUMMER!
OR just make it at home (and spend your money on other desserts)! Easy peasy!
