    Do we have an ETA on these?

    According to JunkBanter's instagram, they are already out! However, they will be exclusive to stores owned by Albertson's, which includes Safeway, Von's, Jewel-Osco, and some others. I live about 30 minutes from Safeway but I hardly go there for anything, so I'll definitely see what the reviews here say first before I drive out of my way for them.

    Also, I saw a thread about some of Halo Top's pints being higher in calories. I emailed the company to see if they changed the recipe, filled the pints more, or if the original pints had calories miscalculated. They wrote back that the newer (higher calorie) pints had "minor tweaks" in the recipe to enhance its taste and texture. I picked up a salted caramel pint to try tonight, which went from 280 to 320 calories. It's not a huge difference, but I loved this pint to begin with so I'm pretty excited if there's going to be more caramel swirls in it now! I'll report back, but if anyone tries any of the other pints that now have more calories let me know if there's any noticeable changes!

    I got the new caramel and the new chocolate one. I'll report. I loved the chocolate but my first caramel one tasted very artificial, so we'll see!

    That was from the Shop Rite sale by the way... and I got a $1.50 coupon off another pint at the register when I checked out! I'll go get more later this week...

    Finally a cookie flavor not exclusive to Walmart. I go to Vons every week and always check to see if there's anything new so yay!

    Dave's killer bread- the bagels- I have not tried yet- BUT I bought the raisin bread and it is sooooo good- nice thick slices for 90 calories and very filling-

    So our tiny town Canadian Walmart just got Flat Out wraps in for the first time and living that low carb life I was pretty excited. Used it as a base for pizza and, as someone who has made an alarming amount of keto pizzas, I was really impressed how well it held up to the oven versus other similar products.

    For 7 net carbs it is carb spendy so they obviously require meticulous planning lest you throw off your macro split. Regardless I would definitely buy again <3

    I found the Caramel M&Ms at Shoprite so I grabbed a bag. I agree with what other users have mentioned, it tastes VERY similar to a rolo (just coated in a hard shell). If you're obsessed with rolos then these are great since you can pack them without having to worry too much about them melting, but there's really nothing new here with these candies, still can't beat the peanut butter M&M's in my opinion.

    As for the "new" sea salt caramel Halo Top pint that has 40 more calories, I'm on the fence with the taste. Texture-wise, I prefer the older pints. This new one was a lot easier to thaw and right out of the freezer I could eat it, but it didn't get nearly as hard as the 280 calorie pint had and I enjoyed that density. If you let this new pint sit on the counter, it might actually become TOO soft, so be careful fellow regular Halo Top eaters! It's not filled as high as you can see, but perhaps I got an unlucky pint. Overall I'd have to do side by side comparison to see how much it changed in regards to flavor, but I *think* it might have more of a buttery/saltier caramel flavor? Looking at the older pint's nutrition I logged, the sodium content is the same so maybe it's jut me. The new pint has 2 more grams of sugar and 1 less gram of protein per serving, so minor differences. Unfortunately, there's still no extra swirls, it didn't even have that small glob in the middle like I'm used to. I miss the old sea salt caramel pint based on this experience, but I'm curious what you all will think of the other flavors (and this one if your experience is different).

    So I went to the Vitamin Shoppe today because they sent me a $5 Healthy Awards certificate and I noticed a lot of new stuff!
    1.) They FINALLY had the new ONE bars (Maple Glazed Donut and Salted Caramel, I already tried the Blueberry Cobbler and prefer Quest's version so I can't wait to try these new flavors to compare)
    2.) I've never seen MuscleMilk Protein Bars before here, so I picked up the Birthday Cake flavor bar... has anyone had these before? Is the peanut butter cookie any good?
    3.) I've also never seen MyBar carried here... never even heard of that brand. Again, I picked up the Confetti Cake because that's usually a safe flavor for me, but the iced cinnamon crunch was quite enticing as well. If anyone has tried these bars please let me know how they are!
    4.) I decided I was spending too much money so I saw, but did not purchase, the MyCookies. They had like 290 calories each but seemed kind of small so I wanted to come here for opinions before I picked them up... they feel dense kind of like the Buff Bake cookies... anyone know if they're similar or are they not worth it?

    Muscle Milk peanut butter cookie is my favorite protein bar of them all. Even my husband likes it and he doesn't like any protein bars. I've only tried that one and the brownie one and I loved that one too. I'll be waiting to see how you like the birthday cake.

    I went to Vitaminshoppe on Thursday since I was shopping in a town that actually had one!

    I bought the Muscle Milk Birthday Cake, One Maple Glazed Doughnut & Salted Caramel, the Muscle Frosting in Cookies & Cream, & the Muscle Butter in Birthday Cake.

    The only bar I couldn't find that I really wnated to try was the MyBar Confetti Cake, but once I get through my stock again maybe I'll order it online.

    My Vitamin Shoppe still has no One Maple Doughnut bar! I can't wait to get my hands on it!

    I had one yesterday and it's really good!

    I had my first taste of peanut butter m&ms recently and I can't believe I wasted all this time not eating them. :)

    And, yeah, once someone pointed out the caramel in the caramel m&ms tasted like rolos, I completelysaw it. I really like rolos tho so that helps.

    And that one bag of the caramel m&ms at Target was apparently the last there because I haven't seen them since.

    I thought they were already out and the fireworks oreos were coming out around July (I'm assuming that part.)

    It still tastes a bit too artificial to me but it's not bad... but probably not enough to warrant a repeat purchase. I got a small swirl in my pint but it wasn't really noticeable (there was a bigger one at the bottom but it wasn't huge either). Honestly overall it just doesn't really taste like caramel to me, just a small aftertaste of it. Honestly not sure why it has 320 calories.


    I tried the caramel M&Ms and I'm not overly impressed. Just tastes cheap.

    Have you tried the Enlightened sea salt caramel? It's really good. They have it in pints, but I really enjoy the single serving bars - it seems bigger than just 1/4 of the pint container so I feel like I"m getting more.

    As for the "new" sea salt caramel Halo Top pint that has 40 more calories, I'm on the fence with the taste. Texture-wise, I prefer the older pints. This new one was a lot easier to thaw and right out of the freezer I could eat it, but it didn't get nearly as hard as the 280 calorie pint had and I enjoyed that density. If you let this new pint sit on the counter, it might actually become TOO soft, so be careful fellow regular Halo Top eaters! It's not filled as high as you can see, but perhaps I got an unlucky pint. Overall I'd have to do side by side comparison to see how much it changed in regards to flavor, but I *think* it might have more of a buttery/saltier caramel flavor? Looking at the older pint's nutrition I logged, the sodium content is the same so maybe it's jut me. The new pint has 2 more grams of sugar and 1 less gram of protein per serving, so minor differences. Unfortunately, there's still no extra swirls, it didn't even have that small glob in the middle like I'm used to. I miss the old sea salt caramel pint based on this experience, but I'm curious what you all will think of the other flavors (and this one if your experience is different).

    It still tastes a bit too artificial to me but it's not bad... but probably not enough to warrant a repeat purchase. I got a small swirl in my pint but it wasn't really noticeable (there was a bigger one at the bottom but it wasn't huge either). Honestly overall it just doesn't really taste like caramel to me, just a small aftertaste of it. Honestly not sure why it has 320 calories.


    I tried the caramel M&Ms and I'm not overly impressed. Just tastes cheap.

    Have you tried the Enlightened sea salt caramel? It's really good. They have it in pints, but I really enjoy the single serving bars - it seems bigger than just 1/4 of the pint container so I feel like I"m getting more.

    Yeah and they taste too artificial to me too.

    You're a super taster! My mom is too - it makes things difficult.

    I'm not a super taster & also thought the regular Enlightened caramel flavor was sickeningly sweet in an artificial kind of way.

    Now the Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Crunch was awesome!

    The only three Enlightened pints I've really loved were Triple Chocolate, Red Velvet Cake (would've been even more awesome with some mix-ins besides the swirl), & the Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Crunch.

    Decided to try one of the ProYo ice creams from shoprite. The Dutch Chocolate is PHENOMENAL. For not having mix-ins I love it more than halo top and enlightened, it has a great texture and darker cocoa flavor. However, it has close to 450 calories per container and it's a little smaller than half a pint so I'm not sure if it's fair to compare them (although it was filled to the brim)! Still, 5/5 and I'm returning to see if they have more flavors. The xylitol didn't taste weird at all and I didn't even miss it not having erythritol it tasted plenty sweet! I'm honestly blown away I just wish they had more interesting flavors x5cai66uznyn.jpg

    Just tried the halo top sea caramel ice cream- It was pretty good to me- of course we just got halo top a little over two weeks ago- so it all is pretty amazing to me- We only get the enlightened bars here-

    Anyone tried Almond Chocolate Crunch Halo Top? I just had it and it tasted so weird. It's my least favorite flavor. It doesn't help that I hate almond flavors!

    Why would you buy something that's almond flavored if you don't like almond? I like that one, but it does taste like artificial almonds, and for the calories I'd just rather have the chocolate one.

    Honestly I've never tried anything mint or lemon from either of those companies because I don't like those flavors in the first place.

    I'm in France, so these Häagen Dazs might not be new flavours to other countries, but they are for me ! I haven't tried the banana caramel yet, the salted caramel one is meh, although I like all things caramel... but the hazelnut flavour is heavenly ! My new favourite ! (I usually love dulce de leche)'

    I can't find a picture of this ice cream but I found at Wal-Mart Cinn-Fully Delicious from their Great Value line & it's basically Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns but only cheaper per servings!

    If anyone has tried this leave a review

    Found in Canada according to Impulsive Buy

    Seems like it will either taste really vile or be amazing!

    On Impulsive Buy they posted that the Firework Oreos were found at Giant Eagle so I might go to Giant early tomorrow before work & see if I can find them at my local Giant (Giant Eagle I think might be a different store chain than Giant).

    I really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I had! Let me know what you think of the coconut, I went to two Shoprite's and all I could find was vanilla and chocolate :/
