    I'm down for chocolate covered anything (except bugs) because...chocolate. :)

    I did buy the Trader Joe's edamame hummis which is pretty good and a nice serving size over a corn thin.

    @hgycta & @Francl27 That sucks about what HT customer (not) service did to you! Makes me kinda mad because you ladies are doing some pretty hard core advertising for them on here!

    Ryan Bouton but this happened in October last year so quite some time has passed, I imagine they hired better customer service representatives given their rapid growth! I got over it, I just learned my lesson to keep receipts just in case, although it hasn't happened since then so I'm not sure if the store would stand behind that or not (but then again, I stopped getting that flavor and it was the only flavor I've ever had that happen with).

    Who is Ryan?
    What flavor was it? Mine is peanut butter cup.

    Chocolate was the one pulled away from the sides for me.
    The ones that tasted weird were vanilla and salted caramel. Still haven't dared trying salted caramel again since.

    When you eat the salted caramel flavor think of butterscotch.....then you wont be as disappointed not tasting caramel lol

    Tried the OhYeah Maple Glazed Doughnut ONE Protein Bar... I'm at a loss for words. Honestly, I'm not crazy about their protein bars and never understood the hype, but this is my new favorite. A lot better than the blueberry cobbler, now I just need to try the salted caramel! This one was very sweet, had a prominent maple flavor, and wasn't too artificial at all. A lot softer than their other bars, too, which normally I wouldn't like but it was really good with the creamy glaze. 5/5 from me!
    Omg really !? I've never had good donut protein bar the paleo one is terrible I'm going to buy these when I use my free coupons from gnc this weekend

    That Josh kid was DEFINITELY an insider haha he always knew the flavors before anyone else, always had them to conveniently try at work, and hopped around the various myfitnesspal forums that brought up Halo Top ;P I never had a doubt about it, that's why I kept bothering him about cotton candy being a flavor they need to release :B He seemed more interested in carrot cake, which honestly I am 100% down with as long as they execute it right!

    I know when he asked us potential flavors I was all up in that because I thought he probably works for them lol. Life needs more cotton candy flavored things

    Now I am craving cotton candy ice cream like crazy.

    The other day I went to Dollar Tree and they had a cotton candy tub by their Easter candy half off! 50 cents for a 1.5 oz container of cotton candy (doesn't sound like much, but for cotton candy that turns out to be a very decent amount) and it was only like 170 calories! Cotton candy may be pure sugar, but darn it if the calories don't seem bad for what you're getting! Just a shame it didn't hit that cotton candy ice cream spot, I'm such a sucker for Cold Stone's cotton candy flavor it's not fair that there's no diet friendly ice cream version of it out there!

    These aren't new, but figured I'd offer my two cents

    0078656005001_500X500.jpg

    A coworker actually thought I was eating a big slab of cookie dough from one of the refrigerated sheets/rolls :D. I'm definitely going to be buying this bar again, because it reminds me of eating cookie dough & for the calories it's actually filling! It's around 360-380 calories depending on the weight of the bar.

    th?id=OIP.M0fece63c3b56967cebd06a5f068f01f1o0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=184&h=154

    This was on sale at Giant last week for $1.50 & I decided what the heck I'll give it a try! For those that are lactose intolerant I would definitely recommend this flavor at least! (read label in case you have any food allergies). Was thick & had a very pleasant black cherry taste.

    Those taste great! Unfortunately they arent super healthy (alot of sugar). quest bars are apparently one of the healthier brands.

    Maybe he's the one that stole my Fire Work Poprock Oreo's idea haha :p:D. I heard that flavor is coming out in May.

    lol I did the yup brand bar free samples like 10x. Just got again. Got the pb&j this time. Only have tried the pb&j b jammin ones. I really liked. A lot better than the pb&j quest bar. I really do love the BUP bars (more than quest with the formula change) but they are a little too soft for my liking. They aren't as filling which I don't like. IMG_5195-375x500.jpg

    Wal-Mart will have the sharing size Caramel M&Ms and my Wal-Mart got the new Hershey cruncher candies.

    The peanut butter filled M&Ms are my favorite and I love caramel so I can't wait to try these!!! It would be amazing if one day they had a peanut butter/caramel filling! Please let us know what you think if you try them :) do other stores have them too? I can't find them anywhere!

    A coworker bought a pack of the Caramel M&Ms today & said I had to try one. It was good, but not something I'll get all the time. The caramel inside reminded me of a Rolo cup filling.

    I went to Walmart, Royal Farms, and Wawa and didn't see the caramel m&ms anywhere. However, on my way to church I decided to try Starbucks' new Dulce de Leche bottled frappuccino and it was really good! Definitely my new favorite flavor bottled frappuccino, very buttery and sweet. I probably won't get it too often though since it has 290 calories and I don't normally drink coffee that sweet. However, it tasted AMAZING with OhYeah's ONE Salted Caramel protein bar! I liked this bar even more than the Maple Glazed Doughnut flavor, it tasted less like protein and didn't taste artificial at all to me. The salt was very balanced, too. Definitely a bar meant to be consumed with coffee though ;)

    Birthday cake hershey's kisses, anyone? I'm not a white chocolate fan, or a birthday cake flavor fan, but these are GOOD! I bought them for my son's birthday this weekend, and I had to force myself to share them. :p

    It's even better if you put them in the fridge.

    I didn't like them. I normally don't like white chocolate either but had to give them a try. I ended up just eating around the chocolate, trying to to get to the pretty colored crunchy pieces.

    Or maybe those were a cupcake flavor? :)

    I hated these when I tried it. If you like Hershey's candy corn bar then it's good, but I personally find their white chocolate too waxy and artificial. You get what you pay for I suppose, but I'd rather spend my calories on better tasting white chocolate. It's a shame, too, because I really wanted to like these.

    I try to stay away from white chocolate altogether. Most dark chocolate also. But, for some reason, I really liked the See's Candy white and dark chocolate candy pieces. It might have been desperation because the milk chocolate was polished off pretty fast but still! :)

    trader joe's - cauliflower tempura

    1iqp67f2zp1s.jpg

    It's just okay. I cooked according to directions but could've taken 10 extra minutes to really get that crispness. There are some huge pieces mixed with a few smaller pieces. Could make it more uniform sizes to cook evenly. King Pao sauce tasted like soy sauce and Sriracha- very salty. Plus, once you mix it with the cauliflower, it makes it mushy.

    I probably won't purchase again but if I do, I'll use the sauce as a dipping sauce instead.

    I won a box of Better Oats on Facebook so I went to the store and used my coupon for the Cinnamon Roll flavor. 4/10. It's good, but nothing about it is great and it's not better than any other regular oatmeal out there. I'd still choose the Cinnabon instant cream of wheat packets over this since that tasted more like cinnamon to me. This oatmeal had 0 grams of sugar, but the ingredients listed sucralose, acesulfame potassium, and caramel color so I think it's misleading a bit with the name "Better Oats" since all those ingredients have so much controversy around them.
    j3qv2bqkkjyw.jpg
    I also tried the new Starbucks DoubleShot Espresso, Espresso & Salted Caramel Cream. 5/10. Again, good, not great. Tasted too much like cream and sugar without really capturing any caramel flavor like the dulce de leche had in the bottled frappuccino.
    pp6vc5uouplb.jpg
    I also went to Target and Home Depot yesterday, still no sign of the caramel M&Ms!
    On another note, Starbucks announced on Facebook a new Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino. Online it says it has "cooling mint sugar crystals, cut in a layer of whipped cream," it looks really interesting and I might try it this weekend, but if anyone gets to it sooner let me know how it is!

    I saw caramel M&M's at Walmart this weekend. @hgycta Didn't buy any, because I was buying the birthday cake Hershey kisses.
