"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness

WinoGelato

Day 1: Gooey butter cake
Day 2: Gooey butter cake
Day 3: Entenmann's glazed donut and 2 bites of Talenti Double Dark Chocolate
Day 4: Reese's Fun Size Cup and 1/4 cup of Talenti Double Dark Chocolate
Day 5: 1 square Ghiradelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree and a slice of angel food cake with vanilla cool whip frosting and blackberries
Day 6: 1 square Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel
Day 7: Hostess Donettes for breakfast - 2 powdered, 2 chocolate. 1 Hershey's Dark Chocolate miniature
Day 8: Homemade Double Chocolate Bundt Cake.
Day 9: Ghiradelli Sea Salt Soiree and graham crackers with nutella and raspberries
Day 10: half a chocolate chip cannoli from the Italian bakery in our neighborhood.
Day 11: 3 Samoas from the hidden Girl Scout Cookie Stash
Day 12: Chocolate Frozen Custard - it's employee appreciation day at work and they bring in custard from the local favorite place, Ted Drewes. Going there in person is better because they have concretes with all kinds of great combinations - all we have today is individual pre-portioned servings of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. Still good stuff though....

Day 1 - Wild Ophelia - Salted Chowchilla Almond. Already discovering new things. Wild Ophelia is a local company to Chicago with a handful of "unique flavors" - http://www.wildophelia.com/. Kind of difficult to review, but it is a nice balance of sweet milk chocolate bar, smokey chopped almonds and sea salt. Also, if you haven't ever tried it,... I highly recommend freezing the chocolate bars prior to consumption.
Day 2 - Chocolove - Dark Chocolate w/ Crystallized Ginger. Nom Nom Nom, big ginger fan over here. Rich Dark Chocolate taste (65%) with just enough sweetness. Spicy and sweet ginger pieces throughout, but not overpowering.
Day 3 - Wild Ophelia - Peanut Butter & Banana - Well, that was delightful .... Milky chocolaty chocolate with a creamy peanut butter and banana taste (derrrr). Quite macro friendly too. Only 300 cals for the whole bar!
Day 4 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Raisins & Pecans. OMGAHHHHH so good! Rich dark chocolate flavor with a crunch texture from the pecans. I also froze the bar per usual for extra added crunch! A number of gooey and sweet raisins all throughout the bar to top it off. YUM!
Day 5 - Wild Ophelia Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chips. This was essentially just a crunchy dark chocolate bar with a very mild occasional crunch/smokey BBQ flavor. Kinda reminded me of a nestle crunch bar, just not as textured. You do get a BBQ chip after taste though... pretty unique. I quite enjoyed it
Day 6 - Trader Joe's Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Bites. Figured I'd switch it up today and try something different. Had 3 of the mini bars. Creamy cheesecake bites with blueberry and graham cracker sprinkles. Very tasty, but too small and not worth the cals for the size IMO. Also Greek Yogurt bowl with 450g Fage, 350g Frozen Blueberries, 70 Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios & 30g TJ Crunchy Cookie Butter
Day 7 - Chocolove Salted Peanut in Milk Chocolate. This one was great .... nice mix of creamy, salty, and sweet (giggity). Frozen of course for extra added to texture to the peanut halves found throughout :P. Also, another Greek Yogurt Bowl for preworkout with Fage, Dark Chocolate Cheerios and All Bran.
Day 8 - Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate - Yummy combination of the dark chocolate flavor with a tartness of freeze dried raspberry pieces all throughout which provide a nice crunchy texture. Enjoyed frozen as usual
Day 9 - Breyer's Blasts! Strawberry Cheesecake w/ Lucky Charms. Hah! Nothing fancy going on here... was super lazy and kinda screwed up my macros so I needed to opt for something on the lower fat side. I remembered I still had some of the Breyer's left over from before starting the 30 day pint a day challenge. This combo was pretty good! 339g Breyer's w/ 57g Lucky Charms.
Day 10 - A whole buncha stuff. Finished off the remaining 3 TJ Blueberry Cheesecake Icecream bites. Also had 4 Cups Cappuccino Kefir topped w/ All Bran & 110g Vanilla Chex, and 3 Honey Nut Rice Cakes topped w/ Cinnamon Bun Whey spread. Lazypostworkoutprebedmeal/10
Day 11 - Lindt Dark Hazelnut. Made a quick grab for a candy bar while across the street at Walgreens. Hadn't had Lindt candy in a while do I decided to give it a whirl. Not too bad... standard Dark Chocolate taste, more on the sweet side though. Sectioned into 3 portions with a hazelnut and some sort of mousse like filling inside. Also had some Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios.
Day 12 - Fannie May Pixies - Made another quick stop across the street from work at Walgreens today because I'm going to be busy later. Opted for the Pixies since it's been years since I've had anything by them. Not a fan of mint meltaway's so I opted for the Pixies. Figured I couldn't go wrong with a combo of pecans, caramel, and chocolate. I was correct.

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.

ick. what a shame about the stale donuts in your ice cream. Steve's does make some very tasty ice creams but i think they might have some quality control issues.

yum! that's always a nice combo. and glad to hear you found this at Walgreens. that means i have a shot of finding them. There are so many specialty chocolates i can't find.

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
Day 12: B&J Milk and Cookies, Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (yes I went back and got more. Don't judge me), and one ricotta pound cake cupcake with whipped ricotta frosting:





I loved the pound cake part. I'm not a huge fan of the frosting but I think I didn't put enough powdered sugar in it-- I put what the recipe called for and then I thought it still seemed too runny but that it would probably set up like buttercream does in the fridge, because it has butter in it. But it didn't, so it was a little too soupy for my taste. Next time I make the cupcakes I'll probably just make buttercream. Mr. Acrylics loved it though.

Very Caramel! It's basically vanilla ice cream with caramel swirls (but not the dinky kind you get in regular ice creams, think B&J's Caramel Core), with caramel shavings on top. The Vanilla part reminded me of soft serve vanilla ice cream as far as flavor goes. All in all it was really good!

Day 11: Haagen Dazs Cappuccino Gelato (124g) with Reddi Original Whipped Cream (21g) and Hershey's Light Chocolate Syrup (20g); Botan Rice Candy (4 pieces)

Oh my goodness, that brings back memories from decades ago!! I was a little rice candy addict for a very short time... not least because of the adorable packaging.

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.

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.

Got them in my local grocery store, nowhere near St. Louis. I have some Vosges bars to try later on in the challenge.

Day 12: B&J Milk and Cookies, Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (yes I went back and got more. Don't judge me), and one ricotta pound cake cupcake with whipped ricotta frosting:





I loved the pound cake part. I'm not a huge fan of the frosting but I think I didn't put enough powdered sugar in it-- I put what the recipe called for and then I thought it still seemed too runny but that it would probably set up like buttercream does in the fridge, because it has butter in it. But it didn't, so it was a little too soupy for my taste. Next time I make the cupcakes I'll probably just make buttercream. Mr. Acrylics loved it though.

NOM.
For some reason, I'm thinking those could be exceptional with a lemon cream cheese frosting.

Now that sounds awesome.


Something is awry with the texture in the ricotta frosting. I'm not sure whether it would be solved by more sugar or if it would still be slightly grainy.

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
13: Ben & Jerry's cookie dough... so good...

I have a pudding eating fetish!

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
Day 8 - Protein cheesecake. A Yoplait frozen Greek yogurt with caramel and honey bar, and a square of Cote d'Or dark chocolate.
Day 9 - Protein berry smoothie, Talenti sea salt caramel gelato, 3/4 cup of fat free chocolate frozen yogurt
Day 10 - Two buttermilk eggo waffles stuffed with sweet cream cheese, a jello sugar free chocolate mousse, and one of Desserts for Two ricotta cupcakes.
Day 11 - Two mini danishes (one chocolate, one cream cheese), talenti sea salt caramel gelato , way too many sugar puffs, and a cream cheese and jelly sandwich. Was a bad day.

Day 12 - Yoplait frozen Greek yogurt strawberry with granola bar, one Dove mini chocolate egg, and some Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom vanilla ice cream (I actually really like it, and only 90 calories a serving!).

I love how committed you are to trouble shooting this recipe! I'd be moving on to the next Pin!

But... what about something with marscapone? I've never made frosting with it, but I'm just thinking that might compliment the ricotta somehow.

I like to think I was a baker in another life. I actually have some mascarpone in the fridge-- I use it to make creamy tomato sauce. Mmmmmmm.

I am developing such a girl crush on you Acrylics! I love creamy tomato sauce, vodka sauce, etc. Actually rigatoni with spicy italian sausage in vodka sauce is one of my "go to" meals. I haven't tried it with marscapone though - usually a litlte half and half or if I'm lazy - I buy some prepared alfredo sauce and spoon some of that in.
