I tried these yesterday. I LOVE THEM! I normally don't like their regular protein cookies, but these are so good. The cookie itself is so crispy and the filling is yum! I have to get the other flavors to try.
OMG I found gingerbread house halo top and for me it was the worst flavor I've ever tried from them. It was worse than cinnamon bun. I even bought two pints, and husband ate both.
Thank you for this, I was really curious about these cookies!1 -
I bought Halo top last week because everyone raved about them.....ate a little of the birthday cake and none of the red velvet. Maybe I'm just not a ice cream person
.
But....I polished off 2 small bags of Mac's pork rinds.....salt &vinegar as well as the salt &pepper.
Bought bar-b-que to dip in cottage cheese....now thats good!!!0 -

Thanks for reviewing, I was so curious about these. Guess I will have to try now !!0 -
Well I thought it would be a good idea to try Starbucks' Christmas Tree Frappuccino even though I hate matcha and as I expected: I hated it. The matcha was definitely overpowering but if you're a tea drinker you'll probably love this drink. I think I got cheated though as my beverage didn't have either caramel or cranberry pieces on top! Heck, it didn't even have a fresh strawberry, it was a thin sliver of freeze dried strawberry -.-
Also, I was sent samples of 4th & Heart Ghee on the Go pouches and tried the vanilla one on toast last night. I've NEVER had ghee butter before but I'm surprised, it was DELICIOUS! Has anyone here tried ghee butter before? Any recommendations of what else to do with it? Has anyone tried making their own bulletproof coffee with it? I'm not sure how I feel about buttery coffee, but if I tried that mushroom coffee I don't have much more to lose, right?

Honestly, I was hoping for a lot more vanilla icing swirls in this pint and I'm a little disappointed I didn't find any globs of it like I imagined. Still, this is a pretty solid gingerbread pint with not much room for improvement! The gingerbread spices are extremely pronounced and impossible to ignore, definitely not a subtle pint! I was expecting gingerbread, but not to be slapped across the face with it and that's how I felt - WOW! If those pfeffernusse cookies I got at Aldi's that I was raving about were made into an ice cream, this would be it. The more I ate it, the more obsessed I became. If anyone here was a fan of their cinnamon roll flavor, it almost tastes like the base used in that pint but with an added ginger/molasses component making it more well rounded. I do notice the stevia quite a bit which might put some people off who are sensitive to sweeteners, but with all the gingerbread spices I didn't mind it at all. I give it 8.5/10, the only thing that would improve it is those globs of vanilla icing swirl I had been hoping for! I taste them, but if I can't see or feel them it's hard to appreciate as much
Found it at Giant yesterday & bought one pint! OMG this is definitely my favorite Halo Top flavor!! I'm wondering if you got a bad pint? I noticed a lot of vanilla swirl & it definitely makes the ice cream extremely sweet in a good way. I wish the Gingerbread pieces were a little more crunchy, but the swirl definitely makes up for that. I usually like to eat Halo Top when it's more dense than thawed so that could be why I'm noticing the swirl more. Too bad this can't be a regular flavor instead of most of the newer ones that came out a few months ago.
Today I went back to Giant & got the last five that were in stock. Of course now that the flavor is in I can't find my two coupons for $1.50 off a pint.2 -
I just bought 5 pints of HT that I haven’t found before, but they didn’t have gingerbread. I passed on the chocolate banana because I’m not fond of banana flavored stuff.

The caramel macchiato flavor is my FAVORITE. I can't find it anymore though and I'm so frustrated!
Like you, I didn't want to try the chocolate banana because I find banana flavored things to be very unexciting and unappetizing (who eats banana flavored laffy taffy, anyways?)
However, I strongly urge you to go back and reconsider it! It tastes more like Dippin Dots banana split flavored ice cream, which is much more balanced and enjoyable than just straight up "chocolate covered banana." The name really doesn't do it justice.
The candy bar is very underwhelming and the pancakes & waffle pint is very artificial tasting, be warned. The mochi green tea, while I enjoyed it, doesn't really taste that much like green tea. Personally I thought it tasted close to key lime, I'm curious if you'll agree with me on that or if I just have messed up taste buds XD1 -
McVities Digestive Thins
I've been paranoid about having snacks in the house for fear of scoffing the lot.
However, these delicious, thin chocolate biscuits come in at 30 cals each or something. Two of them with a cup of coffee is a lovely treat that doesn't spoil my day nor put my blood sugar up too much
EDIT: appreciate these may be a UK only product
EDIT: it says 'NEW' on the packaging1 -

I love digestive biscuits! They have them at my grocery store international section. My favorite are the chocolate covered ones.2 -

I wonder if they'll have fun flavors or just the regular stuff you can get at the store. I'm thinking about getting my kids a three month subscription, but it's pretty expensive.2 -

Funny because I unexpectedly liked the chocolate covered banana because it reminded me of banana taffy! LOL
I have given up on finding the candy bar or the caramel macchiato locally. The banana I had to get on trip to Ohio.
None of the new flavors have hit any of my local stores aside from Cinnamon Roll and the two seasonal ones. Of course all 3 of those have gluten so I can't try them. Huge bummer.

Heads-up: I bought my last box of Lenny & Larry's Birthday Cake cookies in August and having finally come down to my last cookie, I restocked with GNC's Black Friday sale. There's been a formula change that I do NOT like. The cookies are somewhat okay as they are, but they heat up too fast in the microwave and taste awful even with little heat. I don't mind the extra 20 calories per serving, but I do mind the compromised taste. Even worse, GNC retail stores do NOT process refunds or exchanges for orders paid through PayPal. Had I known I had to deal with the hassle of return labels and shipping, I would've paid directly with my card. The entire reason I like buying from online stores with retail locations is that I would rather not deal with return shipping. On a positive note, the classic Chocolate Chip flavor is even more chocolatey than before.0

I love the change in the cinnamon snickerdoodle. They are amazing now. They have sooooo much cinnamon sugar. Before I was always annoyed when I would get ones without much and they would be bland and taste like play dough. Haven’t tried the birthday cake though or any others. I also only buy the small cookies which for some reason I think taste a lot better than the larger ones because they aren’t as thick and the cinnamon sugar to cookie ratio is higher lol0 -
Also, I disagree with the recent positive comments for the Quest Birthday Cake bars. They're not spit-out-immediately gross, but I can only eat half a bar at a day. Indeed, they thankfully don't have that nasty lemon flavor, but they're only tolerable. Quest missed the mark. I bought two boxes from VitaminShoppe and immediately returned the unopened box. The One Bar Birthday Cake bar still reins supreme, and FitJoy's and Muscle Milk's Birthday Cake flavors are still better than the Quest version.4

Interesting. I only every buy the big 4oz cookies because they're cheaper ($0.42 per ounce per case versus $0.54 per ounce per case from the VitaminShoppe). However, if the small cookies are tastier, I might just buy them from now on. I'll definitely try them. Thanks!0 -

*raises hand sheepishly*
Artificial banana flavour is my favourite, I love it even though on an intellectual level I realize it's kind of gross, haha. The faker the better. On the other hand, I haaaaaaate artificial grape and think it's the worst thing and it ruins everything.
We're out there. There might even be dozens of us...lol.9 -

@hgycta I think I may have found out why your gingerbread pint had little frosting chunks... I was finishing the other half of my pint the other night and as I got down to the bottom I was basically attacked with HUGE CHUNKS of icing. Like WAYYY too much. Looks like my pint took all of yours!2

That is A LOT of money! I can see where an OREO die hard fan might like it, but personally I think it's a bit misleading since I'd expect fun and unique flavors, but I know it's probably going to be regular flavors (I mean, they're the company who released a Fruity Pebbles flavored OREO than released it again in a Mystery Flavor to boost sales rather than coming up with a new flavor)! The "one-of-a-kind OREO inspired gift" is probably some lame OREO mug and the "new OREO product innovations, or tried and true favorites" are probably pertaining to the recipe card and new or already existing recipes for the Oreos. I tried to guess the flavors based off the ingredients list they posted, but with all those artificial flavors and colorings it just left me even more clueless XD
I'm more excited that Amazon FINALLY expanded their choices for their Surprise Sweets box! I absolutely adore this little box, it pays for itself with all the special desserts you get, and now they have an even larger box! Honestly I get it for myself but sometimes I'll buy these for coworkers if I'm not sure what else they might like, because who doesn't like fancy candies? My last box (which was $18) had an assorted box of Danny's Macaroons which normally go for $20 (not including shipping) plus a huge chocolate bar, a slice of cake, and a massive decorated pumpkin spice rice crispy treat!

This was the Halloween one, which again, was only $18, so I'm pretty excited to see what their Christmas box is going to be:
I'm not sure whether or not I'm excited for this. I love Girl Scout Cookies, but the Yoplait Chocolate Whips yogurt was the first yogurt to teach me that chocolate + yogurt = horrible. I have a feeling these will have that same chemically taste xP

Hmm interesting. Never heard of that box. I'm not sure I'm curious enough to spend $27 blindly though (especially as I don't care for Peppermint stuff). Keep us posted about the next one!0 -

Something needs to replace Lenny & Larry's now ruined Birthday Cake cookies, and I *have* seen those around, but I was wary of other protein cookie products after Buff Bake's cookies sorely disappointed me. I'll definitely give them a try. Thanks! ^^2 -
If anyone here loves the taste of coffee then this is the best 100 calories you’ll ever eat on pudding. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it and might freeze them into popsicles later to make it last even longer
