    tastykake-2015-fall-cupcakes-and-kandy-kakes.jpg

    I got the salted caramel ones and the spice cakes. Didn't see the carrot cake, will be on the lookout for those.

    Also, these are back:
    FallCPGDannonCaramelApple.jpg

    So yummy.

    I actually just recently tried all of these.
    The salted caramel ones were good but disappointed me because my brain wasn't making the caramel connection; it was stuck looking for the peanut butter flavor that is typical of their milk chocolate kandykakes. I feel for the salted caramel they should have used dark chocolate and added a few sprinkles of sea salt on the top.
    The karrot kake ones were also disappointing in terms of that traditional carrot cake flavor, but I still loved it. The white chocolate coating was a bit tangy yet very sweet at the same time, and the chunks of carrot did have an appealing texture (even if I couldn't taste it), so it was very fun and enjoyable to eat, but again, could be heavier on the carrot cake spices.
    The yogurt I love; very balanced flavors and just the right amount of chunks! Nice and creamy and not chalky or dry like other greek yogurts on the market x.x

    I ALSO TRIED THE PUMPKIN PIE COATED QUEST BAR FROM THE VITAMIN SHOPPE.
    I microwaved half to see how it would hold up and it just became really messy (should've seen that coming) but was super soft inside and I kind of liked it, but probably won't do it again unless I'm home alone.
    Eaten as is I really liked it, but it was definitely a lot sweeter than their other bars. Like, very sweet, almost too much so. The pumpkin spices were distinct and I didn't taste a strange artificial flavor that I've experienced in their newer formula bars, and the crunchy pie crust topping was fun to eat. It won't be a flavor I miss when it's gone, but it'll definitely be one I get again and eat when I'm really dying for something SWEET.

    Thanks for the reviews! I'll have to find that Quest bar.

    I've seen the Tasty Kakes (not the salted caramel or I would have bought it). I admit I'm wary to try them as I've never had one before and it's easier to convince myself that I wouldn't like them this way.

    I bought a box of the PP quest bar because GNC said they didn't know when they would get them and they only sell in boxes. Now to wait patiently!

    I tried this today and really enjoyed it. There were plenty of brownie mixins and the raspberry yogurt was mighty good.

    Thanks for the pic, that looks pretty yummy. I hadn't been tempted by those before, but I might try that flavour! The brownie bits look good.

    I had this email from GNC this morning...
    3ui6tfy81ace.jpeg

    Are they in stores or just online so far?

    The Quest bars are in the store. I went & bought a box before work. The GNC worker said these were shipped in a special box, & they had no idea what was in it until they opened them today.

    Had a mini crisis at the supermarket today and bought all the pumpkin spice. My favorites were the Chiobani pumpkin spice yogurt, Fiber One 90 Pumpkin bars, and the Edy's Pumpkin Patch. The Yoplait pumpkin cheesecake whips was good. I love the texture of whips but this had too much pumpkin not enough cheesecake flavor. Noosa pumpkin yogurt was too sweet for me (lots of cream) but delicious. The pumpkin spice english muffins were tasty, had just a hint of pumpkin-y flavor, but I think I prefer my light multigrain muffins. The winner of the batch is definitely the Edy's pumpkin patch. The slow churned version has only 90 kcal per 1/2 cup. I ate an entire quart yesterday and just bought another tub hehe

    Not pictured but I also just tried the Woodbrige Harvest Spiced wine. Subtle spices and a delicious red blend for pretty cheap at my local grocery. I'll definitely be buying another!

    Lol, I only picked this up because it was the Free Friday Download from Kroger. The brownie bits were definitely a nice surprise!

    And yeah, it's Muller.

    I love your pumpkin purchases @friendlymush ! :laugh: I've been overly interested in pumpkin spice products.

    Nice haul!

    I so want to find those Yoplait Greek 100 Whips; hopefully, Wal-Mart or Giant will get a shipment in soon.

    I don't think I've seen the Edy's Slow Churned Pumpkin Patch, & will have to keep my eyes out. If you like Peppermint they had a pretty decent flavor that came out last Christmas season & it was 100 calories per 1/2 cup.

    The Dannon Pumpkin Pie yogurt is also really good.

    The Blue Diamond Pumpkin Spice Almonds were a huge letdown.

    I am ready for the Peppermint season to come back.

    Okay, the toasted coconut Oreos were really good dry, but it doesn't translate as well to being dunked in milk. :disappointed:

    Guess I can stop looking for them, lol.

    I hate peppermint except tea so that helps me at least.

    I guess I'm the only person who was very disappointed by the pumpkin Noosa.. I tried them last year and thought it wasn't worth the calories at all.

    I found the Turkey Hill pumpkin pie yesterday but passed, but I might go get it later after all, as it's still on sale.

    If I can remember it's pretty decent. Of course it's not the quality of the Talenti Pumpkin Pie, but better than lower level brands.

    The Turkey Hill Pumpkin Pie ice cream is actually incredibly delicious, I recommend saving calories one night to try some of it! I found it better than Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream (not to mention a lot lower calories; 170 compared to 260). The mix-ins with Turkey Hill are a billion times more intense!
    That being said, I've never had the Edy's slow churned to compare it to, but heck, for 90 calories it looks like I know what I'll be looking for next time I'm out! ;)

    The Edy's pumpkin patch is so good, especially for the calories - I buy this every year.

    I cannot find the pumpkin pie whips yogurt anywhere, so annoying!

    Trader Joe's had their pumpkin bread pudding so I had to buy some. No idea when I'll open it though, it sounds very dangerous (and I guess I have to defreeze the whole thing at once).

    Also bought the pumpkin pie spice cookie butter (might try shortly), their pumpkin yogurt, and pumpkin cereal bars (didn't try them last year but my daughter loves them) and the pumpkin jo jo's. They didn't have the pumpkin croissants sadly (or the kringle), but they had pretty much everything else.

    ETA: the pumpkin pie cookie butter is amazing on crepes.

    Ok got the Turkey Hill pumpkin pie. Will try when I have the calories (ie, not today).

    Bought the Kozy Shack indulgent vanilla and the machine spit out another $1 coupon! Man. That's $1.75 a pack with the sale and a coupon. Will have to go buy more this week end (not sure which one yet).

    They DID have the tastykake salted caramel kandy kakes but I passed. Too much stuff to eat right now, not enough calories to eat it all LOL.

    I don't think this is new, but it is new to me. Trader Joe's Vegetable Fried Rice. I made this last night to go with a chicken and veggie stir fry and it was really good. Only took 5 minutes to make and I felt like it was a reasonable amount of calories (210 in a 1.25 cup serving). It's very colorful, so it made my meal visually attractive and my toddler liked it, too. I'll for sure keep a bag of this on hand in the freezer to make as a side dish again.hmk74lcd5ujx.jpg

    The pumpkin bread pudding IS dangerous, and worth it. I put just a touch of whipped cream on top, with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    Also, try that pumpkin pie cookie butter on TJ's frozen cheese blintzes. The blintzes are just 250 calories for two blintzes, so it's not too terrible when you add the cookie butter.

    Hmm bread pudding with pumpkin pie ice cream. It just got even more dangerous, lol.

    Where is the pumpkin bread pudding? Freezer? It's my fav dessert. I get it everywhere they have it.
