    I never even finished a halo top. I just don't like them at all. Now enlightened ice cream, I haven't been able to get enough of. Haven't found a flavor I don't like yet. About to dig into some chocolate peanut butter shortly.

    I love Enlightened too, but can't find pints of it anywhere in the stores. All they have is the bars - which are good, but I'd rather have pints.

    Where do you live? I have found the pints in a lot of stores. Not always a grea selection but wegmans has most of them, just not the new ones. They have a chart with who has the new ones. Weird that you can find the bars and not the pints. Email them. I did and they're good about answering. They told me who had a flavor I was looking for. Had to drive 15-20 min but hey, what the hell, why not.. I'm eating the chcolate peanut butter right now and for me, it is so much better than halo tops chocolate pb.

    We have an Albertsons and Safeway in our town, none of the others. I've checked both and haven't seen them yet, I check every time we go in. Smith's carries the bars, but I haven't seen the pints in there yet (we don't shop there that often, but I check every time we go in there).

    Not a big deal for me, as I like Halo Top well enough. I'll be patient until the Enlightened pints start showing up, lol.

    Enlightened's Movie Night sounds... Not delicious. Has anyone tried it?

    I had the caramel macchiato in my hand yesterday but decided to forgo the pint of Halo's I usually buy weekly.
    Never tried the caramel macchiato, now I don't know whether I should or not.
    I love vanilla bean and mint chip.
    I will have to look for Enlightened brand. I have never noticed it.

    My current Halo Top favorites are Candy Bar and Mochi Green Tea. With Peanut Butter Cup, Oatmeal Cookie and Mocha Chocolate Chip close behind. The Mochi Green Tea could use more mochi and the PB Cup could use more peanut butter, but then they wouldn't be low calorie anymore.

    The PB cup and oatmeal are my fave halo top! The epic movie night in enlightened so far, still don't have any of the "New" flavors yet. First world problems I guess! LOL

    Caramel Macchiato is my favorite one, especially given that it's under 300 calories for the whole pint. My grocery store has been out for a couple weeks though and it makes me sad.

    Oatmeal cookie is my go-to. I’ll try the macchiato. Haven’t ever tried Enlightened but I’ll grab one of those too. Good lookin out!

    To be honest, it depends on the pint for me. Half the time it tastes horribly artificial, the rest of the time it's ok... same for Enlightened. So I just don't bother anymore.

    If you like the halo top chocolate PB try the enlightened one, it's way better. The chocolate ice cream tastes more chocolate and the peanut butter swirl is perfect, a little salty and tastes like real peanut butter, like the peanut butter swirl in friendly's peanut butter cup if you've ever had that. I'm going to buy a couple more of that flavor.

    I have, it was the first enlightened I tried, it's actually really good. The base flavor is not super buttery tasting, kind of mellow, with caramel swirls and chocolate chips. It's yummy. Bought two more of those already.

    I haven’t heard of enlightened? Is it in the uk? Halo top has only just come out over here. I haven’t tried any other type of low calorie ice cream yet. Anything peanut butter flavour is my fav!

    Im in the states, not sure if it's the U.K. or not. You could look on their website or email them. They're very good about answering emails and also questions on their Facebook page. I love peanut butter too. I also bought their peanut butter ice cream with chocolate chips but have not tried that one yet. I have a bunch in my freezer that I haven't gotten to. Eating about half of one a day so it's going to take me a while to taste them all. lol I'm going to try the oatmeal cookie crunch tonight.

    So, an update: One of our local grocery stores finally started carrying Enlightened pints, and of course Chocolate Peanut Butter was the first one I tried because it's my favorite ice cream flavor.

    Enlightened's Chocolate PB is way better than Halo Top's. Not even a contest. Much more peanut butter, much richer/creamier, even the chocolate flavor is better. 360 calories for the pint and worth every single calorie. Same price as Halo Top (neither are cheap!). I haven't tried any of the other flavors yet (we bought a few different pints), but if they're all as good as the Chocolate PB, it'll be Enlightened from now on.

    Glad to hear it! I love the chocolate PB, that's one I've bought multiple times. They also carry that at BJs in three packs. I threw my halo top chocolate PB away. I didn't like it.

    The snickerdoodle and the bananas foster leave something or be desired as far as I go.

    I like the birthday cake, the black cherry is one of my favs. Movie night is really good. Oatmeal cookie crunch is good. The brownie chocolate chip cookie dough one is great. Peanut butter chip is good but the chocolate PB is better. I have a bunch more flavors in my freezer to try. (Mint chip, butter pecan, chocolate chip cookie dough, and a couple others)

    What ones did you get?

    Their selection was pretty limited, since they just started carrying it. Besides the Chocolate PB, we got Cold Brew Coffee and Sea Salt Caramel. And a second pint of Chocolate PB, which turns out to have been a good decision, lol.

    I tried a flavor from Breyers light line recently that was decent, coffee chocolate chip. It is nothing like Haagen Daaz but the whole pint was less calories than a single serving of Haagen Daaz.
