Peanut Butter On My…

If you are one of the few people who doubt that peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other, I challenge you to check out the most recent evidence on the subject — delicate, delicious morsels of chocolate-wrapped peanut butter made by Coco-luxe Confections in San Francisco.
The company’s Peanut Butter Bites are, in my opinion, what a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup aspires to be. They’re creamy and rich, and sprinkled with roasted peanuts and coarse sea salt.

For those who love peanut butter and milk chocolate together, they are squares of perfection. The only problem with these delicious little bites is that since they are made of fresh, high quality ingredients, you can’t leave them sitting around for months and expect them to taste great. They’re also expensive, at $17.95 for a box of nine chocolates.

Even though Stephanie Marcon, creator of Coco-luxe Confections, makes an array of unusual chocolates — spicy chai, creamy green tea, banana split, gingerbread, the only ones I loved were the peanut butter squares.

They’re available at Andronico’s in Oakland, some Whole Foods, and at http://www.coco-luxe.com/.
