    Chobani salted caramel crunch is Sooo good...not sure if its new though :p

    I'm really glad you said that because I was just at Walmart today and picked one up, I can't wait to try it!

    I also tired Oreo's new Cinnamon Bun flavor, and honestly I wasn't too impressed. It was sweet and good, don't get me wrong, and tasted like a cinnamon bun for the most part, but I was hoping for a stronger cinnamon flavor. It tasted more like cream and only a slight dusting of cinnamon. My all time favorite will always be the Red Velvet flavor which they mastered and I couldn't be happier about its return!!

    Them's fightin' words!

    (Ok, so I haven't tried the cinnamon yet but now I'm breaking them open once I'm done with my current package of the golden oreo thins.)

    Let me know what you think! My dad was blown away but I mean, I had my standards set pretty high so perhaps that was the problem o.o

    The salted caramel crunch chobani flip however was great! Chobani's yogurt itself isn't something I'm a huge fan of (I prefer Dannon's Light & Fit) but the mix-ins really make it stand out as something indulgent.

    I was disappointed when I didn't see the new Cinnamon Bun Oreos at Giant :s. I'm hoping I'll find them at Wal-Mart tomorrow.

    oh noo I am so excited, so I hope i am not let down. We have a Target Express (only 5 in the world) in our neighborhood and I was going to ride my bike to go get them but they ant in stock there. Husband is HOPEFULLY going to the regular target to get them. I am dying for them I love all things cinnamon.

    I will! I have about a sleeve and a quarter left of the oreo thins and I eat 3 a day (really trying not to eat 3 sleeves a day cuz...dayum they're good :))

    The Golden Thins are so good! I almost ate a whole pack in one sitting.

    Seriously- I'm a sucker for red velvet :)

    Me too. That's why I stay away
    image1.jpg?resize=550%2C550

    I just checked the Impulsive Buy and saw these. Thankfully, these aren't supposed to come out until January. I would have been miffed if these and cinnamon bun were released so soon together.

    Those peppermint star pops are so dang cute.

    These I will probably pass on, but I will end up trying the Cinnamon Roll ones eventually.

    Thats just wrong

    Just ordered these after hearing good reviews, will let you guys know how they are. I wonder how they would taste cooked up? My friend recommended them for me to try in pancakes, shakes, and ice creams. They come in so many flavors like chocolate and stuff. He said he drinks the chocolate straight up and it's like chocolate milk. I am eager to try lol.

    I have not tried Muscle Egg, only Egg White International and I always thought it was tasty when mixed with protein powder.

    LaCroix has some new sparkling water flavors - I just tried the Blackberry - Cucumber. I liked it, the blackberry is the stronger flavor of the combo, but you can taste both. I'm leaning towards the Grapefruit - Cantaloupe next time.

    This was pretty good for the calories (only 130). IMO, it tasted a lot better than Chobani's 100-calorie yogurt with toppings. I have the caramel fudge pretzel and the coconut chocolate left in the fridge and am looking forward to having those.

    A bit disappointed, honestly... Flavor is too strong, a bit too bitter for me, not sweet enough (and that's coming from someone who doesn't like things that are too sweet), and honestly really doesn't taste like hazelnut (but again, it's not exactly at the top of the ingredient list... I'll eat them but I won't buy them again.

    I have two more white fudge Oreos to eat before I can open mine. I probably have to wait until tomorrow. XD

    I read somewhere that the Cinnamon Bun Oreos are even better microwaved a little bit, so I tried and agree it makes them much better but overall I'm still not as impressed as I had hoped. Very good, but still could have been better. I won't ever stop obsessing about the Red Velvet version, SOOOO much better, THAT should be the new permanent addition to the Oreo family! c;

    I also finally found Dannon's Light & Fit Salted Caramel flavor Greek Mousse after all this time and effort. I liked it a lot more than their other mousse flavors (found it to be less chemical tasting than the coconut one especially), but it still wasn't something I'd go out of my way for since I prefer creamier yogurts and it actually didn't have that strong of a caramel taste. My father who hates the consistency of greek yogurt loves it, however. I'd take the caramel macchiato flavor over it any day, although I haven't seen that one in a while. I'm still trying to find the new Oikos Red Velvet yogurt - if anyone finds it please let me know where you found it ASAP.

    If anyone frequents Starbucks I also tried their new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cake pop, and really liked it! As usual with all their other cake pops I loved the texture and found it very flavorful and sweet ^-^

    I'm just starting to notice that many beers are finally starting to put nutrition info on the can! So I've been looking into lower calorie and carb beer with still a 4 or 5 % alcohol content. One I just bought and I'm going to try tonight is Sleemans Lift. Made with coconut water, 150 calories for a tall can, 13 carb. 4% . I am a beer lover and not too likely to cut it out all together, so at least I can make better choices about it.

    Just found these at Safeway! I loved the raspberry chocolate ones so I hope these are as good!

    Also tried the cinnamon bun Oreos and red velvet Oreos from an Oreo vendor giving away samples at Safeway. Didn't think the cinnamon was that great. The red velvet is good though.

    I tried this today: fv7ucwg2rlk4.jpg

    It was quite good! Several of the flavours from this brand all taste kind of the same - a bland taste kind of reminiscent of cocoa butter. None of them are bad, but I think most are not worth the price. But this is probably my favourite cookie dough flavour protein bar of any brand I've tried! Usually I don't like them. It's not at all like Quest or B-up's cookie dough flavours, which I don't like at all. I'm not really sure how to describe it... it was softer, with a taste closer to actual cookie dough to me.

    The flavours that stood out to me were the peanut butter, cookie dough, and butter pecan. The butter pecan is not super exciting but it has a good pecan taste as there are lots of pecan bits on the top. My least favourite was probably the double chocolate, which did not taste like chocolate *at all* (but again, didn't taste bad). I will probably order some cookies and cream ones next time (they were out of stock last time) and will get more of the cookie dough and peanut butter. The others are not worth the price to me.

    I tried these the other day and unfortunately wasn't impressed :/ Hardly any strawberry flavor, they could have done a lot more. If they made the creme inside either strawberry or chocolate flavored it would have been great!

    I was disappointed as well. It didn't taste like hazelnut and the chocolate flavour wasn't pleasant.

    I picked up both flavours from Kroger today, and I noticed that the Red Velvet ones are not in limited edition packaging. Not sure what to make of that. I haven't tried either yet, but probably will tonight.

    I also picked up some Kodiak cakes flapjack mix, which I've never tried before, but I like oatmeal pancakes so I figured I'd give it a shot. I've seen it mentioned on this thread before, so does anyone have suggestions for how best to prepare it? It says to just add water, but I know with the P28 mix I got, adding 1tsp of oil makes it come out with a much better texture (less biscuit-like).

    I also still can't find the Oikos Crunch coconut bliss flavour. My Kroger only seems to want to carry the banana one and the key lime one. I like the banana one, but I don't really like key lime yogurts generally. I got a coconut Light & Fit and thought it was good, but as with all of the Light & Fit yogurts, it's overly sweet. I bet the normal one is great if I like the L&F one this much!

    Man I really hope the Red Velvet are not limited edition because they are definitely my favorite ones, but I have too many cookies right now to justify buying more at the moment (so many girl scout cookies).

    For the Kodiak cakes, I think it depends on what kind you got... but I'm going to assume that you got the oats one, and I haven't tried that one, so I'll be waiting for comments too! For the other two, I've tried with milk and egg, with milk, and with water, and I actually like the water version best.

    For the Oikos Crunch coconut, I hope you find it, it's really good! I've only seen one store that carries it though (Shop Rite, but only one out of the two I've been at).

    This is the one I got. It was actually the only one at the store, and I didn't realize there were so many options! So I guess I just got the original one, not the actual oatmeal one. If I like these, I'll definitely try the oatmeal.

    I also picked this up. It was on sale and I had a $1.25 off coupon, which made it only $2.25. gydc1u6f8smx.jpg

    I think they're just for Valentines Day.

    ETA: I hadn't read mathandcats post. Nabisco making red velvet a permanent flavor does seem pretty interesting.

    I love the Frontier one. I just use water and it's very satisfying to me.

    I like Bear Naked granola too but never tried that flavor.

    Spotted these tonight at the store! I'm so excited to try. The maple smell coming through the package is making me drool. I also grabbed a pack of the cinnamon bun Oreos as well. Today is a good day!

    I tried these and love them!!! Yesterday I toasted one and wasn't crazy about it but I had one again this morning untoasted and it was a thousand times better. I think they have like little pockets of maple syrup or something similar to the cakes used in McGriddles!!! So good, but toasted you can't really feel or taste where those pockets are too much!

    So I tried one of each of the cinnamon bun and red velvet oreos. I agree with most people here: the red velvet are better. The cinnamon ones are alright, but not really that reminiscent of a cinnamon bun to me. The cinnamon flavour is a bit weak I guess. Not bad, but I don't have any trouble not eating a ton of them (which I can't say about the lemon or mint ones, two of my favourites). I preferred the gingerbread ones over the cinnamon bun. I really like the filling in the red velvet though!

    @hgycta thanks for the heads up! My BF has already requested Mcgriddles at home, lol!
