I told you it was a Blogfest heavy month for me. Today, I am truly excited and regretfully sad to bring you the What’s Your Chocolate? post.
Ciara Knight and her fellow host asked a very important questions recently; Do you love chocolate? Why yes, I do. And, thanks for asking. But, I am not a chocolate purest. Well, if given a piece of chocolate, I would eat it, but I prefer my chocolate with peanut butter.
Be sure to click on the badge to learn more about this blogfest and to visit other chocolate inspired post.
Without further ado, I bring to you my top 5 favorite chocolate and peanut butter pairings:
#5 – Butterfinger – The first candy bar I remember eating with my dad many, many, many years ago. I haven’t had one in years until recently. OMG, is it still good.
#4 – Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup – It is the classic chocolate peanut butter candy and still a crowd pleaser, but for me I prefer it in the Easter Egg, Christmas tree and the newly discovered Easter bunny shape. Year round, I prefer other forms.
#3 – See’s Peanut Butter Patties – a little fancy. A little pricy, but the only chocolate and peanut butter treat I can find in Hong Kong with any consistency. You do what you have to do.
#2 – Lindt’s Lindford Chocolate and Peanut Butter Truffles – These are super rich and super decadent and I discovered them at Barnes & Noble years ago. I would wander up and down the aisle of B&N looking for the perfect book for that day. Next to the check out where these lovely treats. I would only buy one. One is all you need.
#1 – Peanut Butter M&M’s – When I get off the plane coming back to America, I purchase this bag. On my way to the airport to go back to China, I buy another one of these bags. Take note, this is the XXL size bag. When ever anyone send me a care package they know to send me these. It is just BLISS in bite size chocolate peanut butter pieces.
None of these treats are available in China on a consistent basis, therefore I regret I am unable to partake as often as I would like. Oh, the deprivation.
There you have it. That’s my peanut butter chocolates. What’s your chocolate?

I love chocolate with peanut butter as well, but my favorite would probably have to be chocolate with marshmallow. Or caramel. Or chocolate truffle. Or English toffee. Actually I like all chocolate–I guess the combination depends on my mood and what I’m craving.
Chocolate milk and milkshakes, Chocolate ice cream and gelato–all variations, chocolate this and that and on and on….
I love how chocolate can solicit such thought provoking comments from my friendly followers. We may not talk about politics or religion, but we freely pontificate our own opinions on chocolate. We truly are a free nation. Which is ironic as i am writing this from one of the last great (as in big, not good) communist countries in the world. haha.
What’s up with that? We get chocolate M&Ms and peanut M&Ms but not peanut butter M&Ms?
I know! China will never be a true power house until they rectify this situation.
That and good bread!
Yes. I love that you can so relate. Makes me feel less crazy. haha.
Hey, you got peanut butter in my chocolate. And it tastes great!
Brilliant. haha.
Peanut butter and chocolate is devine and kept me going back to America till I could get it over here (uk) 😉 For me it’s got to be thornton’s continental range.. ooh no their winter range.. get’s me through a cold one. Then again chocolate and orange, no.. chocolate and mint.. hmm.. can’t choose my favourite. Depends on the weather and my mood… and time of day… and location.. drat I must sound like a fussy chocolate eater.. best not give me a choice, I’ll eat it all..
Thanks for giving me dreamy thoughts for breakfast.
Another great comment over the subject of chocolate. I love it. I haven’t gotten into orange and chocolate, but mint chocolate chip ice cream is one of my favorites. After chocolate peanut butter of course. Interestingly enough, I even have a top five chocolate peanut butter ice cream list: 5 – Baskin Robins, 4 – Ben & Jerrys, 3 – Breyers, 2 – Cold Stone Creamery, 1 – Haaghen Daez – It all depends on the ratio between chocolate and peanut butter. Ok, I am hurting myself here. Stop talking about chocolate and peanut butter.
I am soooo hungry for chocolate and peanut butter now! Thanks for taking part in the blogfest!
Yeah, me too.
PB and chocolate – greatest combination in the world
Totally agree>
Love the chocolate peanut butter combo, it’s a classic. Sorry you don’t have easy access to it, all the time. Especially after this blog fest!
I know. I’ve been dreaming about it for two days now.
I never realised there were so many peanut butter chocolates out there, especially the Lindt ones – I’m not sure they’re available in the UK.
That is only the top 5. There are many many more. I could go on. haha.
I LOVE peanut butter M&M’s! Probably my favorite chocolate peanut butter combo.
Aren’t they great. Snickers and twix both made a peanut butter version, too. But I don’t think they make them anymore.
Twice still does… That’s my 2nd fave peanut butter/chocolate combo. :-).
Twix. Dang autocorrect. Couldn’t fix my prior comment.
You should be on a “what’s your peanut butter” blog hop Sydney 🙂 I’m not a chocoholic either, but like it as a side to other yummy things.
Hey Hildie, sounds like a great idea. Yeah, I have tasted some good chocolate, but nothing that makes me as happy at Chocolate & Peanut Butter.
Hi Sydney .. well that finishes off the peanut butter chocolate selection! A good old fashioned bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Fruit and Nut … haven’t had that for ages! Don’t often eat chocolate … but love truffles, and chocolate caramels ..
Cheers to you and your peanut butter choccy memories .. Hilary
Hi Hilary, yeah, I think I have closed the book on this one. Cadbury is a good chocolate.
Chocolate is always worth extra money. I see you really like the chocolate and pb combo. It’s a great one.
It is bordering on inappropriate. haha.
I’m happy with a Bar One 🙂
Nice.
Peanut butter and chocolate is the food of the gods. 🙂
We scan start a movement. haha.
I’m with you on that–chocolate and peanutbutter are the perfect combo. I allow myself a Reeces cup once in a blue moon, as they are very calorie-laden!
Yeah,it is probably good that I don’t have access to them very often.
M&Ms all the way for me! 🙂
Glad to know I am not the only one.
Oh, oh, I just got so excited! I’ve never heard of See’s Peanut Butter Patties. I’m going to check See’s for those!
Check them out. Like I said, pricy but totally worth it.
I’m all for the peanut butter cups. Didn’t think about peanut butter M&M’s. Those are good as well.
So, good.
Have you ever had the Peanut Butter Buckets for Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory? Those are TO DIE for!
No, I haven’t. I have to look into those. My goal is to taste every peanut butter chocolate concoction imaginable.
There is something special about peanuts and chocolate together.
Its that perfect salty sweet taste. Goes so well together.
Nothing wrong with a little peanut butter (or a LOT) in your chocolate…
I agree.
If only Peanut Butter cups still tasted like they used to. Not that I like peanut butter or chocolate very much, but the Peanut Butter cups managed to make a good combination out of the two. But now? Kind of tastes like peanut butter flavoured sugar paste.
I know what you mean. They have to be fresh, they don’t hold up to sitting on a shelf like they used to. That is why I am more into the other chocolate peanut butter combos.
I Lust chocolate! One indulgence for me is Godiva’s raspberry filled starfish. Chocolate and raspberry or chocolate and orange and some times chocolate and chili but I haven’t found the perfect blend. I will keep searching.
I haven’t gotten into the chocolate and fruit. But, I love chocolate with chili. So good.
You reminded me that I haven’t had a Butterfinger in ages. About to remedy that!
Me either, until recently. I forgot how good they were. I hope you enjoy. Let me know.
^I love that saying, “I Lust chocolate”. hehe
Funny.
