Last Friday I had a girl’s night. I don’t have them often, as I don’t have many close female friends in the area (all of them are far away!). But I am SO happy that I did and I see MANY MORE in my future 
My friend Jenn and I went out for dinner and dessert and then took in a chick flick. To wrap up the film: Dear John, your movie sucked.
But it was OK because I had some delicious food at NAYA, great conversation and many laughs. The highlight of our meal, of course, was the DESSERT. This was the first time I had ever ordered dessert at NAYA, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
We ordered the Peanut Butter Crunch and the Chocolate and Chili Bread Pudding.
They did not disappoint.
Peanut Butter Crunch - NAYA Bistro
This circle of heaven had a layer of crispy chocolate (cross between crunch bar, chocolate rice cake and rice krispie treat) with a layer of peanut butter mousse and was topped off with chocolate ganache. Seasoned with MORE chocolate ganache. Need I say more?
I had no idea what to expect with this dish! The waitress explained it as Chocolate Bread Pudding with a kick! That obviously made me very nervous (since I am such a whimp), but she assured me that my taste buds could handle it. She was right — this was so yummy! Tasted just like chocolate bread pudding, but definitely had that extra kick to excite your taste buds for more! While this quite tasty, I still preferred the peanut butter treat – shocking, I know!
Jenn — thanks for the fantastic evening! I look forward to many more! xo
Which of these treats do you think you would have preferred?

Definitely would have wanted the first treat…
oh my goodness… they both look heavenly! i think i would’ve gone with the second one! i love bread pudding, and it just sounds so different and interesting… reminds me of mexican hot chocolate!
I think BOTH treats look amazing!
Ahhh, I ALWAYS go for the chocolate desserts. The peanut butter would totally seal the deal for me.
as of right this second i would’ve gone with the peanut butter crunch, but i wouldn’t really ever turn either one down
Those both look amazing! Especially the PB crunch.
oh my goodness these look good!
The peanut butter crunch, for sure. Now we really want to try NAYA!
omg they both look fab! the first one is super gorgeous but the second one sounds so interesting, i think i would have had to order both for sure
girls nights are so fun!!
I would definately get the Peanut Butter Crunch!
I’m in a chocolate coma just looking at these desserts.. woooooooooow baybay!
And why should I have to pick just one?! I’ve always adored chocolate + peanut butter, but chocolate + spice is a new, more sophisticated favorite too
I would have loved a bite of that peanut butter crunch–peanut butter/chocolate is a combo I could never ever refuse!
I had a fabulous time on our girl date! Let’s plan another one very very soon! Thank you for picking such a yummy yummy place like NAYA!
Those desserts look amazing! I have a question though…why did you think the movie sucked?
[...] simply terrible. I guess this was a hot topic! I received many emails asking to elaborate on the comment on made in my post, so here I [...]
They both look delicious, but I definitely have a soft spot for peanut butter!

Oh my gosh, they both look so good but I’d have to go with the peanut butter. Sometimes bread pudding doesn’t do it for me, but you can’t go wrong with chocolate and pb.
