    I looked on the Halo Top website and they said they were sold at the Kroger by me so I was planning on that for dinner (I know, it's been a tough day) but they ended up not having it :( I got Arctic Zero cake batter flavor instead but it's super gross :(

    The only pint of theirs I'd buy again is the cookie dough. The base sucked, but the dough was good. That being said, Halo Top birthday cake is so much better.

    Has anyone tried the Eat Me Guilt Free or Doughbar baked products? Also I really want to try the Real Good Foods pizzas but buying bulk online is a no go for me. Has anyone tried and if so what's your take?

    Burger King pancakes have a load of calories,but don't they all?

    I don't really think the calories are all that bad honestly. A stack of three pancakes without syrup or butter is only 300 calories, and they're very satisfying! I'll admit I'm perhaps a little weird and will sometimes bring a small pack of sugar free syrup to save calories or eat them plain, they do have a lot of flavor and are quite buttery tasting alone. Or you could always see if they have jelly packets or something else lower in calories so it doesn't seem as bad :)

    Pancakes without butter & syrup sound sad.

    My dad would agree with you - he always puts plenty of syrup on his pancakes no matter what.

    Me, if I want to put syrup or butter on a pancake, I consider the pancake a fail. Of course, there are always pancakes bad enough that I know butter and syrup can't save them (McDonald's) so I'll still eat those plain when I have to have them. I figure, why waste even more calories on them?

    Back to the topic of new products ...

    Finally got around to trying the Buddy's Small Batch Chocolate Peanut Butter. Eh. Neither chocolate-y nor peanut butter-y enough for what I want. I will probably buy the cinnamon raisin version, though. That was very tasty.

    Haha. I don't add butter. I add maybe a tablespoon of syrup.



    I know I'm a little late to the pancake conversation from the end of November, but Walden Farms syrup has literally 0 everything and its pretty decent!! I picked up mine from Bi Lo, but they have it at some walmarts too! You can go to Walden Farms website and search where they sell it in your area!!

    I found it disgusting texturally. Walden Farms is pretty divisive I think- you either love or hate it haha

    Red Velvet Halo Top = not sure what it tastes like, but it's pretty good. No artificial taste this time.

    I emailed Halo Top about that issue too and we'll see what they say about it...

    Parkersmaple.com, he's really been doing good for himself and started off with butter and syrups, cotton candy is just easier for me to work into my diary and shipping is lower on them since it's special cotton candy shipping ;)

    I'm surprised Target didn't carry the Birch Bender's Gingerbread Spice or Double Chocolate Peppermint varieties of waffle/pancake mix.

    I've purchased a four pack of the Purple Ube and Coconut doughnuts from The Dough Bar several months ago and really enjoyed it, incredibly filling for the calories and if it were cheaper I would definitely get it again. This being said, it's not cheaper, it's very expensive and for that reason I can't justify it as being worth it enough to repurchase. My parents tried it too and were a lot less impressed. My mom spit it out and said it felt weird and tasted horrible while my dad just said it tasted like sweet bread. They're fairly popular so I'd say most people like them, and if you're ok with spending that much no harm in trying it!


    P.S. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM QUEST LABS ABOUT AN ORDER FOR 8 PROTEIN COOKIES BEING SHIPPED TO ME. I CHECKED THE FORUMS AND APPARENTLY I WON THEIR GIVEAWAY SO AS SOON AS I GET MY HANDS ON THESE THINGS I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE WORTH IT <3 O:


    I've had two of the three they shipped me to try. I enjoyed the crunch Bar, good but not, I HAVE TO GET THESE NOW, good. The blueberry muffin bar . . . Someone described these bars as Tootsie Roll texture & that is spot on. (I'm not a Tootsie Roll fan.) I also didn't really like the look. It looked like they took some protein powder, added a few drops of water & formed a bar. Thus far for bars in general I like KIND, Oatmega & LÄRABAR. Can't wait to try Oh Yeah, but I need a good sale, too expensive!

    So damn good. 220cal for a cup :)

    The no sugar added version is 400 calories for the entire pint and blows halo top out of the water to be completely honest and it's so much more dense!

    Oh my... how much is shipping? Have you tried those flavors before? That sounds wonderful :'D

    But do they taste like coconut? That's always put me off. I like coconut in Samoa girl scout cookies and that's it. :)

    I liked the cookies ok, but they weren't amazing. I think they were better warmed up. They weren't good enough to make me think, oh, I can't wait to have another one, and I definitely don't think they are worth the price. My first thought when I opened the package was that they just smashed one of their cookie dough protein bars and baked it. LOL

    Ketchup nope, cause I dont really use it, but the original BBQ sauce is very good. Add a splash of liquid hickory smoke to it and heaven :)

    Thanks for the reply!!!
    If the BBQ is good that makes me hopeful that the ketchup is decent. I've been missing it lately, but not enough to spend the calories on it. Though, the BBQ might be more versatile..... hmmmm

    Just tried the Chocolate Almond Crunch Halo Top. It has a very nutty flavor and I can see where a lot of people like this flavor, it was executed very well and slightly reminded me of an amaretto! For me personally, I'm not a huge nut person and doubt anything will beat the Salted Caramel at this point... although that oatmeal cookie one I have in the freezer will be the true test (Enlightened's oatmeal cookie is my favorite flavor pint by that brand, so it's certainly possible).

    I finally tried the Trader Joe's Chocolate Chili collection. I tried 400 calories worth because why not.

    Milk chocolate Guajillo: I need to try this again for reasons you'll see in a little bit.
    Jalapeno Ganache: This one really messed me up for some reason. It's marked as the second weakest, but felt like the most intense. I think if I got another box, I'd eat ONE at the end.
    Chili Lime chocolate: Didn't get a lot of spice in this one, but lime and dark chocolate go great together. I ended up eating three of these and am kinda bummed that I only have one for next time.
    Habanero Milk Chocolate: I two of these slowly because they were marked as the hottest and my sister was overwhelmed after eating a few different flavors I gave her too quickly. It's exactly what I want in a spicy chocolate.

    I really want to pick this up again honestly.

    I have the oatmeal cookie Halo Top in my freezer right now, and I love it! There's little bits of oats all inside of it, and it tastes like fresh baked butter/brown sugar. I just wish that it had raisins.

    It seems that all the stores around me carry every flavor but that.
