Sweet, soft and crunchy, these Peanut Butter Bars from Jer's (Solana Beach, CA) packed a nice texture contrast. Jer's packaging says they use U.S. grown organic Valencia peanuts.

The company makes a line of bars and confections. It sounded like these peanut butter bars were created after (and as a possible follow-up to) Jer's peanut butter and chocolate balls.

Much as I love summer, and especially summer evenings, hot weather + chocolate can induce a temporary sloth-like, pre-nap-state. OK, I don't know how a sloth thinks. But if you've ever seen one crawling along the ground in a warm climate, you'll get the idea. This morning, I ate these two peanut butter chocolate bars for breakfast/lunch, and slumped into a pleasant, food-induced semi-coma: eyes fixed, staring out at the wall of bright light that is currently my patio. Fortunately, the thought of all the work I have to do snapped me right back into a productive state.

There should be a siesta warning on larger sized boxes of chocolate. Or, God forbid, I could limit my chocolate consumption to my normal level of ~1 oz. per day.
