HALO TOP'S SALTED CARAMEL IS AMAZING OH MY GOODNESS. The cookies & cream is a close second but I was NOT expecting that.
I love sickening sweet products, and this was exactly that. The base was a lot sweeter than Enlightened's salted caramel and it had a glob of caramel in the middle like Ben & Jerry's cores. Unfortunately the caramel was extremely scarce past the small glob (again, like Ben & Jerry's haha!) but it tasted very rich and buttery, almost like cajeta or dulce de leche. Some caramels are thin and artificial, this was thick and flavorful.
If you haven't tried it: get it
If you have tried it: did your Pint have more caramel than mine? Maybe I got one without much swirl but honestly whereas this would normally disappoint me the pint was so sweet and rich I didn't mind! 11/10 xD
Salted Caramel is my everything. However, with Halo Top I find its my second favorite flavor (after peanut butter.)
I've had many pints of the caramel and yes, it has one glob of caramel but a damn delicious one at that!
Still haven't made it to the peanut butter one I'm honestly scared considering that's my weakness too I'm scared what will happen to my money if I like it even more than this caramel xD0 -
Since someone posted a dessert recipe, I made this for my birthday and love it. Even using less chocolate chips and sprinkles, it's fairly calorie heavy. Over 4,000 for the whole pie (my 100 gram piece tonight came out to 425 cals)- very much worth it.

You're courageous. I made a cannoli cake for my friend's birthday and didn't even dare counting the calories (I didn't use all the filling and frosting though so it would have been hard to be accurate anyway).1 -

OMG *drools* that look just....soooo...good. Cake batter is one of my favorite flavors.3 -
Oh this just reminded me of the cookie cups I used to get at the mall. Ugh want so bad.0

You're not alone.
Giant is the nearest retailer to me that sells Halo Top & out of the three or four flavors they carry Birthday Cake is the most appealing.
Once I go to Wegman's I'll buy a few of the new flavors.0 -

My pint had a ton of caramel swirled in it and I ADORED it. I am in love with this flavor.2 -

After hearing how peanut-buttery the peanut butter is, I need to get it. I love all things peanut butter.1 -

I'm finishing mine now and yeah.. not too much of it (and it's only on one side of the pint, it's a bit odd). And the base tastes really artificial to me, which really is a recurrent problem with me and Halo Top. I'm going to finish my three pints and probably give up on it, sadly.0 -

I wasn't super impressed with the base either. I wish they had used the vanilla bean base. I love it and feel like tastes the closest to regular ice cream w/o much "diety" taste.

Questions: Does ThinkThin's Dark Chocolate Peppermint bar have a nutty flavor? Do any other not-explicitly-nut-flavored Think Thin bars taste like the advertised flavor? I once tried Think Thin's Salted Caramel bar, and I tasted a distinct nut flavor, so I've been too afraid to spend money on other bars.
I absolutely hate peanuts, almonds, etc., but I can stand nuts as long as the taste isn't there. For example, MusclePharm's and Quest's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar have almonds listed as an ingredient, but the almond taste isn't actually there, and I love both bars.
I usually don't really care for their bars too much but really enjoyed this flavor, if that says anything. I didn't taste any nut flavor, but I mean, if you're sensitive to that taste you might taste something I don't and perhaps I overlooked it since nutty flavors really don't bother me. All I noticed was rich dark chocolate and a strong mint, almost like a softer thin mint.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »Tried the Dunkin Donuts Peppermint Crunch Donut today.
(not my picture haha)
Pretty good! It could have did with a little less peppermint pieces, but overall it was tasty.
I've been eyeing it for the longest time but it's just so many calories! Did you get a chance to try the Boston Kreme Croissant Donut? That one also looks incredible!
Not yet. I'm not usually a huge donut or pastry fan, but I couldn't resist peppermint.
Have you or anyone else tried the Starbucks Egg Nog frap?
I didn't try it as a frap, just a latte, but I thought it was really gross, and not really eggnog flavored at all. But then again, I'm not a huge fan of coffee, so maybe other people can get an eggnog flavor through the coffee, but I can't really get any flavor more than just some sort of sweetness.1 -

I downloaded the katie recipe to MFP--not bad! (This is with 1 cup brown sugar):

Alright, I really like the PB cup Halo Top flavor. Definitely my favorite one so far.6

Bought these after resisting for a few weeks. They just looked...sooo...good. 10/10 highly reccomend they were SO GOOD, but dangerously so (as I thought). I love chocolate covered crackers and graham crackers. The honey toffee had a really nice toffee taste.

How salty is the "salty" part because that's what always turns me off to salted caramel...or toffee...flavored anything.0 -
This is SO GOOD (and by the way, I love that y'all are my peppermint-loving pals)! I kind of want to leave work, go home, and eat the entire bag.

Speaking of Boom Chicka Pop....
I opened a bag for just a taste and...well...not a kernel left in the bag after I got through with it.

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm not overly fond of Hershey usually, but the bar I made at their factory a few months ago was very tasty... so I'm curious!

Wow these are amazing! I found these snacks in Wal-Mart's produce/bakery area on the stand that I believe sells the Snapea Crisps.
My favorite out of the two would have to be the Snickerdoodle flavor, because it did taste as soft as eating a cookie with a little crunch.
There's also a Nilla Wafer almond flavor & Brownie Walnut flavor, but neither of them interest me much.2 -

I tried the eggnog latte about three years ago when I was on vacation in Florida (stores near my house didn't carry it at the time) and I too was very unimpressed. I love eggnog, and coffee, but this was the worst of both worlds. Hardly tasted like eggnog and was very dry. Not enjoyable enough to get again after that, especially for the calories (and price)!
Also, I'm not sure if Shoprite stores all have the same promotions or if they're regional but I live in Maryland and the Shoprites here are having Halo Top on sale for $2.88 a pint which is hands down the best I've ever seen them! They don't have the newer flavors here unfortunately, but I'm consuming so many of the new ones I picked up at Wegmans that I had space to stock up on some of the older ones because quite honestly at this price point I'd be nuts not to! Wish my freezer was bigger! @Francl27 I'm surprised the peanut butter actually appealed to you now I KNOW that's something I have to try ASAP, tonight!!!1 -

Yeah I saw the sale at Shop Rite too but they only had lemon and strawberry left. Bleh.
Honestly though... my experience has been completely hit and miss on the Halo Top flavors. Sometimes even for the same flavor, one pint will taste artificial to me and another one will taste fine (it happened with vanilla). I really don't get it. Heck I still haven't been able to finish the pint of salted caramel, honestly. I did like cookies and cream and chocolate almond though!0 -

Tried the Peanut Butter Cup Halo Top pint, surprisingly I'm actually not impressed at all. The cocoa was very light and subtle while the peanut butter didn't really stand out too much (I suppose I was hoping for more swirl given the higher calories for this pint). A sweeter and richer dark chocolate base with peanut butter globs was what I was expecting, but this would probably appeal to those who don't like their desserts disgustingly sweet (I do, so I'll stick to the sea salt caramel flavor). Not bad though, just not a flavor I'll actively seek out again.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »ThinkThin's dark chocolate peppermint bar is quite possibly the greatest thing I've tasted for only 150 calories and highly recommend it to anyone who loves mint!

I've definitely noticed this, too. Especially with the birthday cake flavor, it's really hit or miss with me! Consistency, too. Sometimes it's really hard and sometimes it's soft (despite setting them out to thaw each time).1
