If you read this blog, you know I LOVE peanut butter (especially from Finds’ Fave Peanut Butter & Co) and that I am NOT a food blogger. That said, I was beyond delighted when Adam from PB & Co got in touch to invite me to be a part of their Yum Squad – a new ambassador group. Do I want to get access to new goodies and giveaways from one of my favorite companies? Hell, yes! It is good for me and it is good for you all, too! I get to test and giveaway delicious goodies from PB & Co all year long. Yay!
The first Yum Squad “assignment” is to review Lee Zalben’s newest cookbook, 31 Days of Dark Chocolate Dreams, which is being released tomorrow. The cookbook features a month’s worth of decadent recipes using their Dark Chocolate Dreams all natural peanut butter. They sent me an advance copy of the cookbook and a 28oz jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams for me to try out. They will also send one lucky reader a cookbook and 28oz jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams, too! Even better news, readers, I tested a recipe with a 16 oz jar that I had on hand, so I am going to giveaway my book and 28 oz jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams to a reader, too. That is 2 times the awesomeness!
So, as I said, I am NOT a food blogger and rarely bake. I am squarely in the target demographic for a huge jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams with a spoon, but a cookbook less so. Â I decided to make a recipe for this post. I went with the Dark Chocolate Dreams Coconut Macaroons (p. 31). Mine were a bit large (and I was short some of the coconut for the recipe). Kudos to Lee, they still taste good! And they were super easy to prepare and bake.
As I said, TWO lucky readers will get a copy of 31 Days of Dark Chocolate Dreams and a 28 oz jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams. Enter the giveaway with the Rafflecopter below. One prize per winner. Winner must be 18 years of age and in the US. Void where prohibited by law. The giveaway will end on February 1. Winners will be selected and notified on February 2.
