    ATTENTION EVERYONE:
    The Vitamin Shoppe is having a sale today only (not sure if it's only online or also in their standing stores), all Lenny & Larry's products 30% off! 12 Pack of Cookies for $13.78, 12 Pack of Muscle Brownies for $17.49! This is the best deal I've personally seen on them, but I'm ordering only one box of each just in case they happen to roll out a better Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale (which I doubt they will, but just in case).
    I also tried their Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie and LOVED IT. Didn't get to try the Birthday Cake yet, but the coconut was really soft and delicious. Right up there as a new favorite with the Snickerdoodle c;
    Also, their Power Crunch Bars are also on sale 30% off, so a box of 12 is only $11.05.
    For some reason they also applied an extra 10% off my entire order at checkout and I got free shipping o:
    Plus Healthy Awards Points.
    Goodness this is why I don't go to GNC xD

    I just seen that e-mail.

    I'll definitely have to buy a few more boxes of the Snickerdoodle & maybe one of the Birthday Cake.

    So far my favorites are in order Snickerdoodle (ah so good in the microwave), White Chocolate Macadamia, & the Lemon Poppyseed.

    The only one I didn't care for were the Pumpkin.

    Anyone try the McDonald's Egg Nog shake?

    I tried it last year (or two years ago?) and loved it! Very thick, rich, and pronounced eggnog taste. Very dense and a small really filled me up. I read reviews prior to trying it and was discouraged by many people saying it tasted fake, but they must have changed the recipe since then because I didn't taste anything fake about it. This all being said, I only ordered that one all year, the calories are pretty high for it! Very good treat though if you like eggnog and have enough calories ;)

    On a side note, I found a ton of Wild Friend's peanut butters at TJ Maxx for $4.99. I picked up the Pumpkin Spice and was very disappointed and found it bland; the spices were all there but it was kind of dry and didn't taste sweet at all like I was hoping. I'm kicking myself for not picking up the sugar cookie flavor instead!

    I've tried both of them and the sugar cookie was way better. I was not a huge fan of the pumpkin, just okay.

    I read the Sugar Cookie tasted more like cinnamon, but if I can find it at TJMaxx then I might splurge & buy a jar.

    This is what I paid for the 3 boxes I have... I need to get through those before I buy more, sadly, lol.

    Has anyone tried the birthday cake one yet?

    I found these on clearance at Natural Grocers. I expected them to be the exact same as their Chocolate Chip bars, but they're surprisingly not. Tastes like a combination between their Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Chip flavors.
    21633142909_860b08e8d9_z.jpg
    There is something just very odd about these. Tastes kinda like a sweetened up softer version of their Espresso Slim bars. It also had a light film on some parts of the coating, which I read in a bunch of reviews is a common problem. Definitely not worth the $1.79.

    I think I tried their superfood flavor a few years ago, but I'm not sure. These are a lot like the Brownie Clif bars, but an improved version of it. Still prefer the other Clif bar flavors over these, though.
    1172.png
    These definitely have a soynut and date thing going on. I like it.

    Eeeewwww.

    This did not taste like peanut butter or a peanut butter cup.

    I really like the coating on this.

    @hgycta Good thing I didn't end up buying a jar of their pumpkin spice peanut butter. I ended up buying Follow Your Heart's VeganEgg as an add-on item instead. Besides, I already have 20+ jars of the Skippy Natural on hand.

    Also, I checked out the ingredients on the new Lenny and Larry's coconut chocolate chip cookies... WTF? I don't think vitamin D3 is vegan, unless that was a mistake of some sort. Then again, they're not a vegan company, and there certainly isn't FDA regulations around the word...

    (100%VEGAN) ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR [UNBLEACHED], NIACIN, IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), CANE SUGAR,PALM MARGARINE (PALM OIL, PALM KERNEL OIL, SUNFLOWER OIL, WATER, SALT, VEGETABLE MONOGLYCERIDES, SUNFLOWER LECITHIN, FLAVORING, CITRIC ACID, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, VITAMIN D3),PROTEIN BLEND(PEA PROTEIN ISOLATE, BROWN RICE PROTEIN, WHEAT GLUTEN),VANILLA FLAVOR, SPRINKLES (SUGAR, CORN STARCH, VEGETABLE FAT, SPIRULINA EXTRACT, TURMERIC, CAROTENE, PAPRIKA, BEETROOT RED, ANTHOCYANINS, MALTODEXTRIN, CARNAUBA WAX), OAT FIBER, APPLE FIBER, MOLASSES, BUTTER FLAVOR, SALT, BAKING SODA, FLAXSEED, OREGANO, SUNFLOWER LECITHIN

    @MissBabyJane Those ought to be imported to the US.

    Not vegan, but I was curious so looked it up. The D3 could be vegan. There's a company called Vitashine that advertises manufacturing the only vegan vitamin D3 - registered with the Vegan Society (no idea if that's meaningless woo, or an actual certifying body).

    The chocolate chip is the same as their regular chocolate chip. I was curious what the difference was so I messaged clif bar and asked them.

    Ok I am a big fatty! I just ordered six boxes of Lenny & Larry's cookies. At $13.78 I couldn't pass up the deal. I bought one of the new Birthday Cake flavor, & five of the Snickerdoodle.

    I figure once my protein bars go down that I bought at GNC I can eat these for Breakfast or even a later snack.

    The plan was to save calories and try Lenny & Larry's birthday cake cookie that I recently bought, but then my father brought this home.
    Caloric bomb, but awesome if you like cheesecake. Personally I'm not a huge cheesecake person so I can't foresee myself eating it again.

    Oh. My. God.

    How similar is it to their Speculoos cookie butter cheesecake? I have the frozen bitesize ones and found them disappointing... maybe I should just make my own cheesecake.

    Not a huge fan of walden farms products except for the honey dijon dressing and maple syrup, but I saw this and thought I'd try it. I had it in my coffee and it was actually REALLY good. I liked it in my coffee way more than my usual almond or cashew milk. It was creamy like actual cream and very thick. I would definitely buy again. I didn't taste any weird artificial taste that I get from many of their products (I hate all their other dressings, chocolate sauce and peanut butter)

    IMG_1570.jpg
    Have not tried the hot chocolate yet but the sugar cookie is my new favorite. I LOVED it! It was very sweet and definitely tasted like a sugar cookie. It complemented the salty kettle corn nicely. I liked this flavor more than all of the others I've tried.

    I'm honestly not sure, I've never tried that one! It didn't taste anything like cookie butter though. It was definitely minty and not overly sweet other than the peppermint flavored chocolate ganache on top (which was my favorite part). I feel as if the cookies were very subtle. Really not as great as I was hoping, but if they sold just the ganache topping I'd be all over it o.o

    I'll admit I ate a whole bag of the Sugar Cookie no regrets :).

    The Peppermint kettle corn is also really good.

    I loved the cookie butter cheesecake bites!

    Ok I'm actually liking this peppermint craze, as it doesn't appeal to me at all.

    Thanks for the Walden Farms rec. After seeing so many pans on here, I'd have never tried it. Now, I'm thinking I may have to locate their Original Cream and try it for espresso and chai lattes. I love those things, have all the equipment to make them at home, but hate to fit the calories in my day.

    I bought more from Linda's Diet DeLites >.> The chocolate fudge brownie I got from Simply Scrumptous was so good I had to try their peanut butter flavor. While not the most visually appealing, it tasted super indulgent for only 60 calories! If it was creamier, it'd be identical to fudge. I've never been so satisfied with a company!

    This completely overtook my plan to buy one of HEB's season quarts. I'm sure the anticipation adds to my delight, but this was very delicious and well worth the 300 calories. It tastes more like caramely than anything. The alcohol isn't very strong and doesn't overpower the sweet goodness. There were also more pecans than I expected in a 105 gram serving. Admittedly, I didn't notice the shortbread cookies.

    I also opened these today and enjoyed them. They have the right amount of pepper.

    I posted this before, but I finally got around to trying it (I was drinking the Silk soy nog instead, which was just alright). This is fantastic! I had been craving a peppermint mocha from Starbucks, but this satisfied the craving with just half a cup and for waaaaaaay fewer calories and dollars (45 cal/half cup). I'm not sure if it could be heated without going weird, but I will probably try it!

    These are really yummy and thick... works for topping everything - on plaing yogurts, pancakes, waffles, cakes, muffins, few drops in coffee. Omg - out of this world.

    It's possible that it could be vegan. The multivitamin I take (Mykind Organics Women's Once Daily) has vegan D3 sourced from licens. They make a vegan D3 vanilla-flavored spray as well. It's a pretty expensive vitamin though, so I wouldn't think that those protein cookies would be high-end enough to have vegan D3. So I dunno. Does they package mention what they source it from?

    Man, I'm sorry about all these posts, but the more I try from Simply Scrumptous the more I fall in love. Low calorie, yet SUPER sweet!!!
    It's sweetened with erythyritol, I'm curious what everyone's opinions are on this? I try to avoid aspartame, but I'm guilty of consuming other sweeteners like sucralose.
    Anywho, it was moist and the cinnamon swirl topping was GRITTY. Ahh perfect!!
    HOWEVER, I've been wasting my money buying these on Linda's Diet DeLites. -.- Simply Scrumptous has their own website and it's so much cheaper (although they only sell them per dozen, which now I know I don't mind). I'm waiting for a Cyber Monday sale though c;
    From what I've tasted, in order from products I've liked the most to liked the least (which I still really liked): Peanut Butter Brownie, Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Chocolate Fudge Brownie & Carrot Cake, then the Vanilla Glazed Donut which had me less impressed because it was so small and hardly filling compared to their other treats.

    Honestly their brownies, this, and the carrot cake are all really really good. The peanut butter brownie is probably my absolute favorite only because peanut butter fudge is my greatest weakness and it tasted very similar to that, but all their products are exceptional it all really just depends on what you like! The only thing I wasn't impressed with were the glazed donuts; they were sweet, but rather small and not filling at all.
