Justin's Organic Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

In art class in Junior High we had to draw packaging of some kind. My fellow students drew things ranging from Pepsi cans to Cheetos bags. I chose to draw a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup package. I loved them to death and I still miss Reese's to this day. A couple months ago a friend suggested I try Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. I've tried Justin's stuff before so I had a good feeling it would be good.

Shocker: I loved them! It's nice to indulge in PB cups once again. The chocolate is dark so it's going to be slightly bitter compared to milk chocolate but I like the contrast with the sweet PB. Find these puppies at Whole Foods nationally and Caffeine Dreams if you are here in the OMA. On a side note Go Max Go is working on a PB cup so even more reason to be excited!

Vegan Mountain High

I was introduced to Denver Vegan culture via the 2008 Denver Veg Fest. It really opened my eyes to how many of us there actually are. It was exhilarating! Denver and Boulder are very Vegan friendly with tons of restaurants, health food stores and even Vegan shoe stores. Here are some of my local finds, some you may be able to able to procure at a store near you!

Sweet Action is an Ice Cream Parlor in Denver that always has a couple Vegan flavors on hand. When I was there they had a Vegan Almond Cardamom Ice Cream Cookie and I couldn't turn it down!

A trip to Whole Foods revealed this local, pre-packaged burrito from Burrito Del Mar. Pretty yummy!

Falafel King is a local Mediterranean restaurant chain who sells their falafels prepackaged. If you are to lazy to make you own or even too lazy to go the restaurant...here you go!

Cute little peanut butters made by Justin's. Great for trips!

You've seen Larabars all over but they originated in Colorado. Simple snack bars that are good for you, nice concept. Oh, and they actually taste like pie!
