Two Years!
February 12, 2010
Wow, it’s been two whole years of chocolate and peanut butter blogging! I wonder how much chocolate and peanut butter I’ve actually consumed. Then again, maybe I don’t want to know!
This blog has helped me learn a great deal about my two favorite ingredients, including new and creative ways to put them to use. It has also seen me meet a few goals including writing some of my own recipes and designing chocolate packaging. I even got engaged at a chocolate factory!
I can honestly say that when I started this blog, I wasn’t sure how long I could keep it up for. But two years in, it feels like I could do it for a long, long time. Maybe in the future the blog will lead me to meet other goals. Perhaps I’ll visit a peanut butter factory. Maybe I’ll write more recipes and eventually a cookbook! Who knows? But I hope that you stick around to find out with me!
I want to thank all of you lovely people that regularly pay me and my chocolate peanut butter obsession a visit. Some of you have shared your own snack ideas (peanut butter and fritos, anyone?) and others have stopped by simply to join in the shared love of the world’s two best ingredients. Below are some of my favorite reader comments. Thanks for being a part of this with me!
