    I'm having a hard time seeing if there's a release date anywhere in your post or not because I'm crying so many tears of happiness

    Found these from a seller on eBay! $18.00 for a box of 12 :)

    I finally found the Cotton Candy Twinkies!

    I NEED YOU TO REPORT BACK ASAP TO LET ME KNOW HOW THEY ARE. My father was going to Walmart last night so I asked him to check for them (and also for Oreo O's cereal), but he didn't see either. He did bring back Chocolate Twinkies, but that just doesn't cut it for me I need to find Cotton Candy!!!

    I also picked up the other two Quest Hero bars despite hating the Blueberry Cobbler flavor and today I tried the Vanilla Caramel. I thought the Blueberry Cobbler was very artificial and yes, I noticed that a bit in the Vanilla Caramel, too, BUT I LOVED IT. The caramel was so gooey and satisfying, the entire bar was to die for! I would never choose the Blueberry Cobbler bar over a hardcore candy bar craving, but that caramel sauce in the Vanilla Caramel bar sure would make me consider replacing this one for a candy bar. I love the Cinnamon Roll Beyond Cereal Bar, and this was definitely just an even sweeter, improved version of that. If they could make a bar like this with a dark chocolate coating and a peanut butter caramel layer I would be in heaven.

    While picking up Quest stuff I also splurged on a full tub of the Cinnamon Crunch protein powder. I had it in the labs and wasn't crazy about it, thought it was sort of bitter and artificial like the Cookies & Cream, but this final version is A LOT better. If anyone tried the Cinnamon Crunch powder in the labs and hated it, definitely give it another try! It's much sweeter and has a stronger cinnamon flavor. Reminds me a lot of the Cinnamon Cereal Crunch CTD Protein Powder... in fact, it's nearly identical!

    Basically it is a regular Twinkie with Strawberry flavored Cotton Candy (agreed with the Youtube review that said they also thought it tasted like Cotton Candy). I think for the novelty factor it was ok to try at least once, but could have been better if it came in the frozen fried Twinkie variety.

    I still would've preferred to have the Cotton Candy Oreos back.

    So I decided to try the Toasted Almond Enlightened per @leanitup123's suggestion. For 240 calories an entire pint I certainly can't say it's bad, but it's my least favorite. Compared to the other flavors it's very bland and the flavor reminds me of the time I accidentally made a cheesecake crust and used way too much pure almond extract. I can see where people who like more subtle, sophisticated flavors might enjoy this pint as bits of it do remind me of an amaretto, but personally I want something A LOT sweeter and in my face. I was also surprised with how little ice cream was in the pint compared to the other flavors I purchased!

    Those are addicting!

    I found them at the Grocery Outlet last year.

    Definitely the least artificial out of the bunch but not as sweet (and therefore in my opinion, not as good) as the vanilla caramel flavor. Since they used the chocolate cookie that always reminded me of a deep fried Oreo I would have enjoyed this MUCH more with a cookies & cream influence, but it was very true to its flavor, lots of pecans!

    I WILL be picking these up this weekend. My fear is that they're going I be really small (180 calories). 1fugt1ol3r1f.png

    So, small like I expected. They're very tasty, though. The plain coffee ice cream is fine, but together with the brownie crisp it's perfect! On a side note, TJs sells their brownie crisps separately and you get a really decent serving for the amount of calories (if you weigh instead of count).

    Tried the Butter Pecan Enlightened. I'm not even going on with a lengthy review, there's no need to. It's good. It's REALLY good. I'm not normally a huge nut ice cream person, but I couldn't believe how delicious it was and had a hard time believing an entire pint was 400 calories because each spoonful was full of pecans... I'm pretty sure I had at least 500 calories worth of pecans in that ice cream alone... does anyone ever go around and check Halo Top or Enlightened to see if their calories are accurate?

    I think this will finally make me remember to buy some Gardein next time I am at the store.

    Finally caved and bought these today. 6 strips for 130 calories. Never had tempeh before so I figured this would be a great way to try! ETA: I also got a single packet of the cinnamon crunch quest powder! Can't wait to try it. Probably going to mix it up before bed. Those of you who have had it - did you mix it with milk or water? I'm tempted to try mixing it with almond milk..

    I just want that microwave that tells you how many calories are in your plate, lol.

    I want an oven like Rosie had on the Jetson's that could pop out whatever you wanted to eat or basically any food you wanted in general that wouldn't be baked in an oven.

    I had chili lime ones a while back and I remember not being too impressed. I think I didn't finish it. BBQ might be better.

    Tried Enlightened's Snickerdoodle pint, the last one I had left to try. Didn't take a picture because there was absolutely nothing exciting about it. It was basically just a cinnamon flavored ice cream with a slight artificial sweetness to it and nothing more. I was anticipating cookie pieces of some kind, but there was nothing. Not terrible, but compared to their other flavors it's not something I'll be buying again unless it's on sale and they're out of every other flavor.
