    This is a new to me product. I have never bought anything from Torani and resisted for a long time because of price and commitment issues, blahblahblah.

    Anyway, it was $4.99 at Fred Meyer, so I finally broke down and bought some. I decided to try it last night in my Greek yogurt last night. Serving size is 2TBLS...OK, I'll put in 1TBLS in my 1.5c of Greek yogurt and see how it goes.

    I bought a couple bottles of this at the Dollar Tree, for a dollar each, but I don't think I've tried it yet. I assumed it was a generic-ish brand so I wasn't super excited about it.

    I'm a sucker for mint chocolate, and I can't argue with anything that's both 80 calories and available at Target. I'm bummed that the only carry three other flavors, though, and none of the other ones I want to try.

    Coconut chips turned out to be super tasty as well. :)

    And I found my new favorite cold brew! Has more of a kick to it than Starbucks' version.

    @CrabNebula yeah, the hazelnut is superstrong for some reason. I worked in coffee shops for years, always used half the amount of hazelnut syrup in everything, unless they wanted more...

    @Noreenmarie1234 yes! Irish cream is the best. Close second is 1/2 blueberry 1/2 caramel... sounds weird, but everyone who asked for me to just make something delicious, and gave me free rein, I put that combo in and they would reorder it.

    I tried the new Quest vanilla keto cup (only available through Quest labs at the moment). It was pretty bland really. I regret spending ~150 calories on it. It wasn't actually *bad*, but I could have had a serving of ice cream instead.

    I bought one of the Dollar Tree brands a while back for yogurt and wasn't thrilled with it. I ended up throwing it out.

    Thanks for the review, those things are kind of pricey so I'll keep that in mind once I finally have the extra money to order some things from them! Did you try anything else in Quest Labs yet?

    I've been searching for at least 2 weeks and both of my Target stores still do not have S'mores FiberOne bars. I'm soo sooo sad. QQ

    Yeah, I tried the oatmeal chocolate chip and blueberry muffin bars as well as the cinnamon protein crunch bar. I posted reviews in this thread, but they basically boil down to: the oatmeal and blueberry bars taste strongly of corn fiber so that ruins them for me (no surprise), the oatmeal one is also very sweet. I think people who don't mind the corn fiber will like the blueberry bar. The cinnamon protein crunch bar was delicious.

    I tried the Power Crunch chocolate brownie crisp today. I liked it quite a bit.

    It was the same brand as posted above, not a different brand.

    Hmm. I dont remember the specific brand to be honest. I do remember the serving size as two tablespoons.

    I was craving ice cream so I decided to go to wegman's and pick up some of my favorite gelato and a pint of Halo Top. Has anyone else noticed their Wegman's started carrying more flavors of halo top??! Mine used to only have three but now they sell these too, I can't wait to try it!! Just wish they had birthday cake, too!

    I love La Croix but at that price I just stick to our store brand seltzer :(

    Still horribly bummed about Bai, lol.

    I found the Enlightened pints at Shop Rite but I'm too cheap to spend $5 on a pint. They had another kind of gelato too (and of course I'm an idiot and forgot the name) but it was $4 for a small container so I passed too..

    Has anyone tried the Blue Bunny salted caramel craze? I was tempted.

    Canada now has mint cream Oreos :). But the box is so small compared to the box I can get in the USA. 265 grams in Canada vs 432 grams in the USA. Ugh.

    Aldi just opened up around the corner and they're a pretty good market and decently priced.
    But if you want a treat.... Tillamook's Oregon Hazelnut and Salty Caramel Ice Cream .... so worth it! <3

    Mint Oreos are not new to Canada - maybe just new to your area. I ate them often in my early teen years (and am 23 now).

    I've wanted to try Blue Bunny for a while, but my local HEB only seems to keep their no sugar added, Sweet Freedom line.

    Oh god, I want to try that so badly.

    I prefer Snickers Crispers to the standard Snicker bar. I love nougat, but Three Musketeers does it better. The texture of the nougat, the peanuts, and the caramel bothers me.

    I saw that. Then the calorie count... not for me :(

    I'm actually in a phase where I'm trying to phase out all the sweet stuff out of the house because normal servings just haven't cut it lately. It makes me sad, but I guess it's what it is. So yeah, probably not many new posts from me in this thread for a while.

    Oh goodness I loved that!


    Also, I just tried this chocolate mocha chip flavor Halo Top and for the first time I'm not impressed. I love Halo Top, but the flavor in this pint was like a chocolate fudge Popsicle. Good, but not worth $5 per pint. Also, I don't taste any coffee at all, nor do I see it on the ingredients list which is weird since it's supposed to be a mocha flavor. Also, there's really not any chips in it either, or if there is they're too small to notice :/

    @Franci27 You were definitely right about these. They were on clearance, so I thought I would try one... Buuuut they're so, uh... Nope. They're a lot like VitaminWater, but even sweeter. At least they don't have that godawful sorbitol aftertaste.

    I'm glad I only bought one of these as a snack. I liked that they included the dark meat and left out the backbone/skin pieces (unlike Raincoast :s), but they had huge chunks of fat.

    My King Soopers had these on sale for a good price, so I picked up a few boxes. Their peach pear is probably my second favorite to their coconut. The orange is good for watering down sweet tea.

    @CrabNebula I LOVE torani! I go through it like crazy. I add a few tbsp to my coffee every morning. I have never tried it in yogurt or in food though. I love the white chocolate. The chocolate has a weird taste to it. I am surprised you found it so sweet. I add 3tbsp to 16oz coffee (plus sweetener lol). My other favorites are the vanilla, salted caramel, caramel, white chocolate, coconut, pumpkin pie, irish cream. The almond flavor has a bad "fake almond extract" taste that I don't like.

    Want to try these powdered nut butters. They come in honey pb, chocolate, regular and salted caramel. I eat a ton of PB2, so would like to try different flavors. I may order and let you guys know.

    Interested in hearing about this one.

    Shame about the SeaFare Pacific snack. I really like their albacore curries and would have expected that to be good, too.

    Bought these at Target today

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/theimpulsivebuy/26359287292

    Think Thin Cupcake Batter protein bars (150 calories). This is the only Think Thin bar I've found that I find somewhat decent.

    Also bought these bars
