My obsession with peanut butter and chocolate is a never ending struggle. One that always has me up at night thinking of what can I add to these two perfect ingredients to make them better or make a new candy-cookie-muffin-cake-what-have you. And then it hit me, why haven't I added white chocolate to the mix? Duh, right? I know a total 'duh' moment. In all the years of making chocolate peanut butter cups I've never made them with white chocolate. Oh I've added cayenne pepper, caramel, cereal, espresso, coconut, cinnamon (very good), and of course my favorite potato chips (I need to post those, they were disgustingly good, and I mean that in a good way).
To make these dark-white chocolate pb cups just follow the
dark chocolate pb cups I made from before, and the only change is to add a layer of melted white chocolate on top of the chilled peanut butter. Then chill that layer, then add your final layer of dark chocolate, then chill again and you're done.
Here are some interesting winter photos from my side of the world.
Icy cold Atlantic, shot taken at the Sandwich Marina lobster docks. Isn't the ocean color gorgeous?
Lots of fishing rope waiting for the next boat.
rows and rows of empty dry docked boats--like a ghost town of sorts
wanna place an order?
just outside sandwich diving school. clearly this diver is in the wrong element.
That last photo is hilarious! And the first photo is DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteGreat PB cups and great photos Dawn...especially the last one
ReplyDeleteOMG, yum!! Stop torturing meeeee!!!
ReplyDeleteI *love* the photos--you're right, the ocean color is gorgeous.
I can't stop laughing at the last photo!!!! But I did scroll back to the top pic to drool on your chocolate cups!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why you haven't sent some of these to me :) Love the photos. That ocean color is pretty awesome! I think the pacific is brown around these parts.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing and I love your other photos! I'm a sucker for water and boats.
ReplyDeleteThese may be my favorite EVER. Drooling at both the cups and the water. I miss the beach!!
ReplyDeleteI love pb cups!!!!! I love the photos, specially the last one.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing but it's the first one that sent me into swoons. Unfortunately, all I can do is admire - no PB for me. Wait, there's plenty of other nut butters out there - there's hope yet!
ReplyDeleteI love the white chocolate addition. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh pb choco cups. oh my sweet tooth is tingling with delight. And you used two chocolates, too. Bookmarked!!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of the diver. lol. Hilarious.
I've never made my own peanut butter and chocolate cups. I'm afraid that I could not stop eating them!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to kill me with the peanut butter and chocolate!! Just last night I took so dark chocolate perils and dipped them in chunky peanut butter. LOL...I'm so bad but they were so good! This looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I want those wicked bad.
ReplyDeleteWhite chocolate? Brilliant! Adding chocolate to chocolate- I love it :) That last picture TOTALLY cracks me up
ReplyDeleteDid you know that turquoise is the Pantone color of the year? The first pic is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see someone's true winter. No snow here! If it's cold enough, you can sit inside and eat choc pb cups all day.
ReplyDeletecool pictures, dawn--i love the diver! and dang, what an idea for a cellulite-maker! the more chocolate-peanut butter creations out there, the better. :)
ReplyDeleteumm, yes please!! and love that diver photo :)
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of white chocolate to pb cups and cool photos!
ReplyDeleteYou are the most evilist baker i know! Your chocolate and pb cups are to die for!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the marina. That is the first time i have ever seen boats dry docked for the winter. Great photos.
AW! Congrats on the move. Best of luck packing. Lots of work- but so worth it!!
ReplyDeleteOh nice yummy treat but the diver got me laughing.
ReplyDeleteA yummy treat & some gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteFun Post Dawn! Looks cold in your area too. The ocean color is great, so clean in the winter. Love the pb cups, you always kill me when you post things like that when I am trying to be so good. (This week anyway!) Stay Warm!
ReplyDeleteFunny photo. Am sending it to my diver daughter in NYC!
ReplyDeleteSuper pb cups!
haha.. i'm always thinking about what is the best way to mix muffin batter... Anyway, those look way too good to be true. I've wanted to make something as rich and decadent as this for a long time, but never get to it because I'm afraid of how many I will eat. I'm the hugest reese pb cup fan!! Btw, the poor man's toffee was a hit. I used regular saltine instead of the cheese crackers though...trying to cut down on the richness!
ReplyDeletePlease post the other versions, particularly your favorite, with potato chips. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am not happy with you right now- not even one little bit - these look way too good and whats upsetting me is I dont have any.
ReplyDeletePB and chocolate are one of my favorite combos too! I love these. A little surprise inside. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodnes, I must have these NOW!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I must have these NOW! How delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.....those pb cups look DECADENT, Dawn! Shoot...there goes the imaginary diet I was gonna start Monday........
ReplyDeleteLOVE the last picture...what a laugh riot!
Are you getting the mini "heat wave" this weekend like we are "up north"? Tomorrow night more snow and Monday I shovel.......woo hoo.....NOT! :(
I have the same obsession as yours for peanut butter and chocolate. This combo is so good. Love that picture.
ReplyDeletegreat photos Dawn. Can't wait to see your potato chip creation :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. PB cups look so bad. So so bad :)
ReplyDeleteyour photos of these pb cups jump right out @ you & truly make you want to eat one right away...
ReplyDeletewell, the only solution to that is to re-create your recipe!
Wow wow wow! The first photo is fabulous it looks so very delicious and professional.
ReplyDeleteThen I see the next photos and you are right the colour of the sea water is beautiful!
Wow, I am very honored you visited SippitySup. I have lurked here many times, and have noticed you leave insightful comments on all the best blogs! So here... my insightful comment is... the ocean is always beautiful no matter what color. Whew. How'd I do? GREG
ReplyDeletePS This is why I never leave comments.
yeah girl, i'll take 50 of these. pic are gorgeous, no doubt, but it's a shame the cup picture was outnumbered by nature pics! :) :)
ReplyDeleteniiiice.
LOL...what a great lot of snaps. The last one had me in splits, but seriously, each one is spilling a story & character Dawn. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the dramatic swirls of dark choc on that cup. Also love your dramatic photos, and thinking about the dramatic amount of seafood that would end up on your door if you placed an order :)
ReplyDeleteThose PB cups look heavenly!
