    So damn good. 220cal for a cup :)

    Have you tried any of their other flavors? I'm in love with all their ice creams

    Earth Balance just came out with their own peanut butters. They're awesome! They have one peanut butter that uses coconut oil and another regular peanut butter that has flaxseeds and is sweetened with fruit palm oil and agave syrup.

    I don't think these are new as I've had the coconut one a few times a year or so ago, but it is DELICIOUS! Do try

    Well they're new to me. They've never been in my local store before so I was totally excited to see they were there since we buy their vegan butter. I want to try that Sabra honey mustard spread, but every time I go they're sold out.

    The Quest Cookies arrived today! Definitely wasn't expecting them to be so flat and odd looking, but it was pretty good! If you've tried their Quest Cravings cups the chocolate has that same slightly bitter, crumbly taste. Definitely not comparable to Lenny & Larry's or Buff Bakes cookies, but it was enjoyable. It honestly reminded me a lot of their regular chocolate chip cookie dough bar (that's probably all it is), but I can't imagine paying for more. Definitely must be microwaved, gets so soft!!!

    Thanks for the review. Looks like there chocolate chip bar but flattened out into cookie form LOL. Does it taste just like the chocolate chip cookie dough bar baked a little? I used to bake mine sometimes.

    Pretty much! But there was something else to it I couldn't put my finger on... Maybe a little more erythritol? As far as texture goes I loved it, but again it was on the bitter side like their quest cravings cups and I feel like a blend of erythritol with monk fruit or stevia would've made it sweeter. I enjoyed it but I'll probably stick to the bars since they're so similar and more convenient! Not worth going out of your way for, but if you're ordering from the labs it wouldn't hurt to throw one in and try it ;)

    I picked up a pint of Halo Top to see what all the hype was about. I did get the pistachio (bought it before all the latest reviews). I love pistachio ice cream and truly disliked this. The flavor was not appealing, the texture was off and there was a weird aftertaste. Took a couple bites the other day and haven't touched it since. I probably would have tossed it in the trash if it hadn't been so pricey. Definitely doesn't make me want to run out and try another flavor. Especially since most of you like the birthday cake and cookie dough, neither of which appeal to me.

    Did you let it thaw a bit? I ate my HT straight from the freezer, and it had that weird powdery texture. Of course, right after I finished, I read on the container that thawing slightly was recommended.

    Yeah. I put mine on 'soften ice cream' in the microwave first. Or let it thaw 20 minutes.

    That was my answer from Halo Top to the weird aftertaste issue I've been having... that you're supposed to let it thaw. Clearly they didn't read my message properly...

    Despite everything I've said about Arctic Zero, I really want to try their banana pudding flavor. If it's anything like the cookie dough, the chunks will be a-ok.

    I miss the banana cookies Chips Ahoy came out with last year.

    I loved the Root Beer Chips Ahoy cookies! So good.

    I'd buy some of that just because of how cool the companies backstory is

    Tried some Nestle hot chocolate with cashew milk <3

    If they had it where you could buy one or two flavors without having to pay for a $100.00 pack then maybe I would splurge every now & then when I got a bonus.

    Anone ever try these ? jar-cutouts_1024x1024.jpg?v=1456426038 2tbsp has 115-150 calories. I guess if you microwave for 30 seconds it turns into a brownie? Kind of curious about that LOL

    What website do you find this on?

    Found these at Spencer's and was mesmerized since, well, I'm obviously addicted to ice cream and Dippin' Dots is no exception.
    Very disappointed.
    Cute concept, but not even ice cream flavored and the taste faded after five seconds like a regular gumball. The candy dots were just weird and awkward to chew, don't waste your money like I did (I bought two!!!)

    Every time I go to Wegmans, they have every other flavor except that one. I'm trying again tomorrow.

    Tried Halo Top's Pistachio flavor. It was delicious but also more subtle nutty flavor and not sweet enough for me to get again. Tomorrow I'll be trying the oatmeal cookie one, the last chance at finding one better than the sea salt caramel :')

    Are you seriously going through a pint a day?? :)

    I'm making my way through the pistachio right now and like it but ptobably won't get again either.

    The HT flavor releases was a beta test, and they are constantly working to improve the recipes. :) Pistachio could definitely use some work...

    SERIOUSLY? Well that's a relief! So... how do we communicate our feedback? Because as far as I'm concerned, the cookies & cream was perfect, the cookie dough was perfect, and so was the sea salt caramel, although a few extra swirls wouldn't hurt anybody.
    The red velvet needed a cream cheese swirl or SOMETHING and the peanut butter quite honestly disappointed me because I had hoped for a more rich chocolate base and sweeter peanut butter.
    Does a beta test mean other flavors could be considered? I know I'll probably never get my dream of cotton candy, but a pumpkin or eggnog would be amazing.
    I'm never satisfied. I need an endless variety of Halo Top. That's not too much to ask for, is it?

    Yes, yes I am going through a pint of day. And I have no shame. Only happiness.

    Eff shame. If we had HT in Canada I would join your pint a day club because awesome

    I love HT. Funny how taste vary. I do a pint a day too. Try to stock up when it's on sale. Cookies & Cream is my least favorite but I love the Red Velvet, peanut butter and the Cookie Dough. Of course all the flavors that are higher in calorie.

    Not a new product, but more of a question. Why are there not more key lime pie or root beer flavored ice creams? Does anyone remember Extra dessert delight gum? That stuff was crack.

    Or like I said Chips Ahoy could re-release their Root Beer flavored cookies. I put the cookies in the fridge & it was amazing!

    You guys are lucky I have never found Halo Top on sale. Giant usually has it for $5.99.

    I bought the S'mores and Cookies & Cream Halo Top pints at Kroger today, since they were on sale for $3.99. I like both of them, but they taste pretty much the same to me. The S'mores just has some mini chips in it. And since the ice cream makes them cold, they really only add texture. I think that a fudge swirl would work better than chocolate chips. And I want more marshmallow flavor! All I could taste was the graham.

    Also, while not a new product, I also bought a quart of Humbolt Creamery Organic Vanilla ice cream at Walmart for $2.00. It's really good! Nice and creamy, and perfectly sweet. Not low calorie, though (180 / 1/2 cup). But you can't beat the price -- even most budget ice creams cost more!

    Root beer ice cream?

    Root beer cookies? I don't know where you ppl live that get to eat Chips Ahoy Root beer cookies. I never even knew they existed!

    Not sure if I've eaten root beer ice cream.. but root beer popsicles.. YUM!

    I got a bag of these last night I thought they were great, I got the original black bean. I'd definitely buy them again. They've got 5g. fiber and 5g. protein.. so that was nice to see. Plus basic simple ingredients so they really do taste like black beans and rice.

    I haven't kept up with all 248 pages of the thread so if these have already been mentioned... they're being brought up again. :wink:

    INGREDIENTS: Whole Black Beans, Pure Sunflower Oil, Long Grain Rice, Sea Salt.

    I loved that gum but I chewed so much of it I'm sick of key lime now (although Dannon's Light & Fit Greek yogurt is an exception). I don't think key lime sells very well considering it's one of the flavors Arctic Zero discontinued and when Turkey Hill had it I noticed it always sat on the shelf for a while. I've never even seen root beer ice cream before o.o

    All I need is cotton candy and I'm happy, but I bet Halo Top could make a nice key lime pie one, their lemon flavor already reminds me of lemon meringue pie a bit!

    I just bought new Hidden Valley Ranch's honey BBQ salad dressing. I'm pretty excited to try it tonight.
