    Day 1: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles (2), Edy's slow churned vanilla with a sprinkle of cinnamon
    Day 2: 3 brown butter snickerdoodles, 1 serving of Breyer's triple chocolate gelato, and one rolo
    Day 3: one serving of B&J Mississippi Mud Pie and one serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 4: Edy's slow churned french silk.
    Day 5: small DQ midnight truffle blizzard, scone from the local tea shop, B&J Milk and Cookies
    Day 6: B&J Milk and Cookies and white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar
    Day 7: white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar and Talenti Southern Butter Pecan gelato
    Day 8: white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar, Ritter Sport milk chocolate with chocolate mousse and Blue Bell Salted Caramel Ice Cream:
    Day 9: white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar and 150g Talenti Southern Butter Pecan gelato.
    Day 10: Edy's slow churned french silk and one piece of chocolate cheesecake:
    Day 11: bit of a mish mash today. 2 Nestle Caramel eggs (left over in my desk's candy jar), the last piece of chocolate cheesecake, 0.9 servings of Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (empty now :frown: ) and half a serving of Talenti Double Dark Chocolate

    You should post a sad face pic! I haven't opened my Double Dark Chocolate yet, and I still need to pick up a Southern Butter Pecan. But not yet. I have to use up some of the 13 pints I have now. And a quart.

    I like the Double Dark Chocolate but it's not something I usually buy. Mr Acrylics got it by mistake-- he was trying to get chocolate peanut butter cup.

    My daughter was the one who picked that one out, and she hasn't touched it! I don't know where my kids got their self-control from, because it sure wasn't me.

    Day 1: 70 Grams of Dilettante Chocolate Covered Cherries & 127 grams of Haagen Dasz Caramelized Banana Chip
    Day 2: Three Lofthouse Sugar Cookies with frosting on top and later 30 grams of Haagen Dasz

    Day 5: One Cookie, 76 grams of Ben & Jerry's Peppermint Crunch, and one serving of Phish Food
    Day 6: 141 Grams Giant Red Velvet cake ice cream. 1/2 serving Brookside Dark Chocolate Goji, one Chips Ahoy Root Beer Float cookie, and one serving Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate. OMG the Talenti was delicious.
    Day 7: 121 grams of Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate, One serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel, & some Noosa yogurt with Strawberry & Rhubarb for lunch.
    Day 8: Couldn't find my blade for my blender to make a protein smoothie/shake for breakfast so I had Talenti Southern Butter Pecan instead for breakfast. OMG this flavor was heavenly. The only flavor I've tried so far from Talenti that I couldn't stand was the Lisbon Lemon. If I can find the blade I'll make the shake later.

    Day 1 - Nothing :(
    Day 2 - Risen candies and starburst candies
    Day 3- MORE Risend candies and starburst candies
    Day 4 - Starburst candies (The last in the candy dish) plus a Risen - I couldn't resist the temptation any longer
    Day 5 - One fourth of a chocolate Easter bunny (I ate his ears today) - In actuality, that should be 1/5 of a chocolate bunny (To be specific it's a Mr. Rockstar with star shaped sprinkles in it), when I was dividing up into portion sizes, I got 5 portions for the total grams it said on serving was.
    Day 6 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - I have his head to enjoy today (that sounds really morbid)
    Day 7 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - Today I had the rest of his ears and a bit of one foot
    Day 8 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - Today I had the rest of his feet and part of his body. I also had a Dare fruit snack. Not all the kids were in Junior church today, so I had to eat the rest on my own.
    Day 9 - FIVE Risen caramel candies. I can NOT resist them today! grumble However, considering I have had breakfast and lunch and still have over 600 calories left (not counting my exercise calories), I think it won't matter if I have more, or if something else gets added in.
    Day 10 - Three Lindt milk chocolate squares. Yummy.
    Day 11- Tim Hortons Boston Cream Doughnut.

    I need to get better and reporting. I'm eating sweets just fine every day! :wink:

    Day 1: Yellow cake and Bryer's Reese's PB cups ice cream
    Day 2: Hostess Powdered mini-donuts and more ice cream
    Day 3: powdered mini-donuts again
    Day 4: Whitman's Sampler chocolates, 3 pieces.
    Day 5: Keebler Chips Delux triple chocolate cookies (2 cookies).
    Day 6: Pepperidge Farm Milano - Boston Cream Pie.
    Day 7: The rest of the Milanos (kids did help eat some, so I didn't have the whole package tongue
    Day 8: Utah Truffles Mint milk chocolate truffle - half a truffle (they're pretty big). Also 1 slice of Jell-o no-bake strawberry cheesecake.
    Day 9: Pepperidge Farms Chocolate Cheesecake soft bake cookies. They're pretty good, a lot better than the Boston Cream Pie Milanos. I really like the soft cookie texture and they taste good. I also had the last piece of no-bake cheesecake.
    Day 10: More of the cookies from above
    Day 11: The other half of the mint truffle from Day 8, and 3/4 of a cookie as above (it crumbled and I didn't get the whole thing :cry: ) I'm still about 200 calories short today (more workout than usual) and not sure if I'm going to go for something sweet or some cheese and crackers, or to just let it slide for today. (Pretty much met protein goal, so anything is good)

    I'm really disappointed in these internets. I can't believe it took 11 days for someone to do this:

    I've been wanting to do this since day-1, but I couldn't find any locally, and AmazonPrime ended up sending it "Parcel Pool".

    So... without further ado...

    I present...


    20140514_185022.jpg

    That's right... Spotted ****. And I had it with Blue Bunny Cuatro Leches Ice Cream.

    20140514_185755.jpg

    I've had Spotted **** once before. A friend made a homemade crockpot version. I have no idea about authenticity, but I preferred her Spotted **** to my store-bough Spotted ****. Her Spotted **** was much more enjoyable. Her Spotted **** was soft and gooey. My Spotted ****, while firm, seems rather dry. I did warm up my Spotted **** in the microwave (be careful you don't over heat your Spotted ****), but I still felt my Spotted **** was lacking something. Covering my Spotted **** "four creams" really brought things together.

    Day 1: Peanut Bismarck, Kroger Cherry Cordial Ice Cream
    Day 2: Three Twins Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 3: Chocolate Nutella Angel Food Cake, Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 4: Rookery Bread Pudding, Pate & Raspberry Wheat, Talenti Caramel Apple Pie
    Day 5: Safeway Collassal Cheesecake, Talenti Caramel Apple Pie
    Day 6: Breez-Inn Apple Fritter, SOB Red Velvet Cake
    Day 7: Mango Cheesecake, Chocolate Boston Cream Cake
    Day 8: Cadburt Egg Brownie, Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 9: Banoffee Pie, Carmelized Onion Ice Cream
    Day 10: Banoffee Pie, Carmelized Onion Ice Cream
    Day 11: Spotted **** w/ Blue Bunny Cuatro Leches Ice Cream

    Ricotta pound cake is in the oven. I hope it's as good as it seems like it would be-- the batter wasn't super sweet.

    So how was it? Pics?


    I need to take pictures, too, but there hasn't been much picture worthy in my sweets yet. :laugh:

    Victory! In the back of the pantry in my efforts to use up open food I found the Girl Scout cookie stash! 3 Samoas tonight finished off that box!

    Day 1 - A sour cream donut rolled in cinnamon sugar (still warm, they were baked off 10 mins before my shift ended so naturally i had to get one to scarf down on the way home) and two rootbeer float flavored marshmallows. Deeeeelicious!
    Day 2 - a serving of Talenti Caramel Apple Pie, a serving of Steve's Sunday Morning Ice Cream, and two vanilla lavender marshmallows
    Day 3 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, what was left of my Jeni's Banana French Toast ice cream (.85 of a serving), 2 vanilla lavender marshmallows and a rootbeer float marshmallow.
    Day 4 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, a dark chocolate covered caramel, and four french macarons
    Day 5 - A serving of Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip Gelato, a serving of Turkey Hill Lemoni Biskoti, two french macarons, and two rootbeer float marshmallows
    Day 6 - a serving of Jeni's Rainbow Frozen Yogurt and a couple marshmallows in rose vanilla and passion fruit. (passion fruit is ok. i prefer the rose vanilla. it is tastier than the lavender vanilla i have, but none are as good as the root beer float)
    Day 7 - three macarons for breakfast (raspberry, strawberry & plum. the other two were good, but the strawberry one was exceptional!), four homemade caramels after lunch (one lavender, one rosemary and two orange blossom-they are all FANTASTIC) and two cookies that my mom convinced me to try (one was a raspberry thumbprint and the other a chocolate orange cardamom flavor. they were both divine), and for a late night snack i had a rose vanilla marshmallow.
    Day 8 - two caramels and a rootbeer float marshmallow
    Day 9 - today i had my last 3 french macarons for breakfast, then i had Jeni's Ice Cream (1/2 serving of Sweet Corn and Black Raspberries and what was left of the rainbow frozen yogurt which was just shy of a full serving) and a rosemary salted caramel for dinner, and peanut butter cheerios as an after dinner snack.
    Day 10 - A Dark Chocolate covered vanilla butter cream and half of a mini mixed fruit tart.
    Day 11 - free samples at work today :D...i had a vanilla creme filled donut, a chocolate chip cookie & some vanilla cake with a Madagascar vanilla bean butter-cream icing--- honestly I didn't expect the cake to be as good as it was. but there was a ton of vanilla bean paste in the icing and it was phenomenal. if i hadn't already eaten the donut & cookie i would have had more but i had to stop myself at a little over 1/2 a slice.

    Day 11: The bitter taste of crushing disappointment. I sampled one square each from two $7 chocolate bars from Bissinger's... Banana pecan caramel Peruvian pink salt, and dulce de leche with sea salt. The dulce de leche seemed like a no-brainer given my tastes, and I spent a WEEK looking forward to the banana one. Both were just, ick, so bad I didn't finish them. Very boozey, like they used cheap chocolate liqueurs in the fillings, although they don't really. And the chocolate itself, while nicely creamy, was kind of dull. 2/10, much regret, wnb again. My tongue feels so violated, even a hot shower wouldn't help it. Yuck. Better luck tomorrow!

    Oh no how sad. I hope tomorrow is better!
    Oh yeah, I'll come up with something yumderful tomorrow. In the meantime, if my tragic experience can save just one person from the same hyper-expensive chocolate fail, it was worth it. :laugh: :laugh:

    It's strange because Bissingers is usually so good!
    I may have been spoiled by dark chocolate, and/or this kind of filling may just not be my thing. When the package says "caramel," I imagine actual caramel - not a slick liqueur-y truffle-y thing. Maybe I'll take the bars to work tomorrow and see what the guys there think.

    1: Pb chocolate oat cookies, chocolate icecream with banana
    2: Connoisseur Caramel and macadamia icecream stick
    3: Aero chocolate, Connoisseur honey and pistachio (honey and chocolate combination? Found it unusual but it was okay), Reece's peanut butter (so creamy and sweet -- I don't want any other pb now lol)
    4: Connoisseur cookies & cream (tasted like crushed oreos soaked in vanilla cream -- was okay but lacked the crunchiness and chewiness of a real chocolate cookie that you can eat how you like alongside ice cream), more peanut butter.
    5: Taro flavoured sponge cake (just a slightly funny tasting sponge cake), Connoisseur Madagascan Vanilla (simple but good)
    6: Connoisseur Sumatran coconut (I don't like coconut things like Bounty usually but this was nice)
    7: Dessert Delights Rainbow gum, Chocolate peanut butter pop tarts (whole box, 6 pastries), creme egg.
    8: More gum, 8 oatmeal maple brown sugar pop tarts, 4 Hershey's chocolate fudge pops (not actually that nice, tastes like the sugar free chocolate syrup but way more calories)
    9: 6 Peanut butter pop tarts (no icing, and after all the sugar and peanut butter I've had this week they seemed very plain)
    10: Honey BBQ cracker crisps
    11: Aeroplane jelly mousse as prepared with bisquick biscuit base as prepared (plus whipped cream on top)
    12: Banh deo banana cake (like a banana flavoured mochi), caramello egg, Ben & Jerry's strawberry cheesecake icecream with jelly belly strawberry cheesecake topping

    The pound cake part is awesome-- I'm not a huge fan of the frosting, would have preferred regular buttercream. But still good. Pics later.

    Where did you get them from? Are you in St. Louis (that's where Bissingers is located but I think it is available outside Missouri, not sure). I haven't seen those flavors, the banana one wouldn't appeal to me but the dulce de leche sounds promising - although I bet it is a sweeter caramel flavor than just regular old caramel. I haven't bought Bissingers in ages because it is so expensive and I have fallen in love with Kakao chocolate - local, small batches, lots of unique flavors. If I'm going to spend $$ on chocolate that's where I'm headed. They have the best salted caramel truffles EVER.

    Day 1: French toast topped with Jeni's banana + honey ice cream
    Day 2: Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream for breakfast. I'll also have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
    Day 3: Chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's Slow Churned Peanut Butter Cup ice cream (see avatar), two Trader Joe's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds (2 is just enough to satisfy), and a serving of TJ's Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
    Day 4: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio gelato for breakfast. 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, and 4 pieces of Brookside dark chocolate covered goji berries tonight.
    Day 5: 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, my last chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's slow churned peanut butter cup ice cream sandwich, and tonight I'll have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl cookie butter in my Greek yogurt and a spoonful of Jeni's sweet potato with torched marshmallow ice cream. *giggity*
    Day 6: One spoonful (13g) of Talenti banana chocolate swirl this morning (still tastes like baby food bananas, but I'm not complaining!), and tonight I'm having a serving of Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate ice cream.
    Day 7: So far I've had 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, and French toast with 94g of Jeni's bananas + honey ice cream. Pic is my avatar, since I can't seem to resize from my phone. Much better this time. I used regular Martin's potato bread instead of the rolls, added cinnamon to the egg and used a little lite syrup.
    Day 8: My daughter made me pancakes for breakfast, and I poured a little Hershey's syrup on a couple of them. At lunch I had strawberry pretzel salad, a small piece of chocolate raspberry birthday cake, with frosting that tasted like whipped milk chocolate, and an even smaller piece of white cake with buttercream frosting.
    Day 9: Finished off the Edy's peanut butter cup (98g) for breakfast. I mean, really, could I let 32g of ice cream sit in that big container all alone?
    Day 10: So far...2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, 2 small leftover pancakes straight out of the fridge with chocolate syrup, and I'm about to finish off my pint of Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies. Also Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl is going in my Greek yogurt tonight.
    Day 11: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio for breakfast. I had to make some changes last night because my macros were off, so I swapped the Speculoos for Kashi Indigo Morning cereal, and had a bit of the Safeway honey vanilla praline frozen Greek yogurt. I think this one is going to be a keeper! The consumer review I read compared the honey to cough syrup. I didn't think it tasted like cough syrup, but the texture reminded me of a medicine I took when I was a kid. The pralines were nice and crunchy, and it had the tartness from the yogurt. I can't wait to have a full serving!
    Day 12: 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, and I finished up the 147g of Steve's NOLA Coffee & Donuts ice cream, just to be done with it. Even the donuts at the bottom were hard and stale tasting. :frown: I may have to have something else to make up for that disappointment.

    Really? :laugh:

    I love pudding. Just having a hard time finding puddings I really love... if it makes sense. When I lived in France, it was easy, here... yeah not so much. The Kozy Shack puddings are ok, but that's about it. I hate the jello stuff (the sugar free chocolate mousse is fine, but I don't like the rest). What kind of pudding do you buy?


    Day 1 - Sweet Freedom vanilla ice cream and a chocolate protein milkshake
    Day 2 - Pancakes and single serving vanilla cake
    Day 3 - Kugel, more pancakes
    Day 4 - Kugel for breakfast. Protein cheesecake at lunch. Pancakes for dinner.
    Day 5 - Kugel and pancakes for breakfast. Chocolate protein milk shake as a snack. Yoplait frozen Greek yogurt with honey and caramel bar for lunch.
    Day 6 - Protein cheesecake, cheese danish
    Day 7 - Protein cheesecake, chocolate croissant. Apple pie a la mode, two bread slices with cream cheese and berry jam, and a serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
