Days In The Park's Favorite Things: Peanut Butter Sandwich

We realized recently that it has been quite some time since we shared with the blogosphere one of our "Favorite Things" from inside The Parks.  We figured the best way to get back on the wagon was to talk about something that is a "favorite" with almost everyone else on the planet too.  Chocolate!  One of the great things about The Parks is the abundance of chocolate.  It comes in all forms, shapes and sizes and there doesn't seem to be much of a shortage of it anywhere.  One of our favorite iterations of this tasty treat comes in one particular form, though. The aptly named Peanut Butter Sandwich.

What you don't see is what you get with this little beauty.  On the outside it is, of course, a chocolate square a couple of inches thick.  But the real beauty of this little bit of heaven is what resides inside it's chocolate shell: a layer of peanut butter atop a graham cracker.  Simple and yet ridiculously genius!  Whoever came up with the idea of melding chocolate, peanut butter, and a graham cracker belongs in a "food" Hall of Fame somewhere.  We think it's quite possibly the same person who invented the s'more, but we're not sure on that one.

We typically choose to indulge in the Peanut Butter Sandwich in one of two ways.  We'll either buy one on our way out of The Park to take home with us and enjoy at a later date, or, and this is our favorite of the two choices, we'll buy one and follow it with a nice white milk chaser inside The Park late at night.  The chocolate is fantastic, you can't beat the peanut butter (especially if you're a huge PB fan like we are and it just always tastes so "fresh"), and the cracker just puts it over the top.  It's hands-down one of our favorite treats in The Park (rivaling even our beloved Dole Whip Floats) and always something we're considering getting for ourselves.



There are several places inside The Parks where you can find this treat for yourself should you be on the prowl.  The most popular choice of course would probably be the Main Street Candy Palace.  You can also find it in Disney California Adventure at the Greetings From California store.  Our favorite place to snack down would have to be Pooh Corner in Critter Country, though.  And unless we're much mistaken, it's also available at Marceline's Confectionery in the Downtown Disney district.  There's nothing quite as relaxing as a nice late night ride on Splash Mountain followed by a Peanut Butter Sandwich.  It's one of our favorite things to do (and eat!) in The Parks and something we do on a very frequent basis.

Just like so many of the other tasty treats inside The Parks, these little treats are made by Cast Members.  There's nothing quite like a handmade treat and it just makes it that much more enjoyable.  If you're interested in the Peanut Butter Sandwich yourself the next time you're out, be sure and check one of the mentioned candy shops at The Resort.  You can purchase the Sandwich yourself for a mere $3.95!  So little to pay for such a large sugar coma.

We'll be back next week with another "Favorite Thing".  What about you?  Any "Favorite Things" of your own you'd like to share?  Anything you'd like for us to check out and write about?  Let us know!  We'd love to hear from you.
