    Sent the BF to Safeway to see if they had Talenti pumpkin pie or eggnog, but no such luck. He did come home with these though:2z89vosu5w83.jpg


    Not sure about the light and creamy thing because they are 120 and 140 calories and both have servings around 65g.

    Chocolate_Hazelnut_Macaroon_jpg_215x215_crop_q85.jpg

    They messed up my order some and sent me ice cream sandwich collection instead of the collection I ordered... so they said I could keep the sandwiches and they would send out the correct collection WIN WIN cause if the rest are as good as this I might really wear out my credit card ordering more.

    The macaroon was perfect texture just hard enough to hold up to the ice cream, nice crunch, salted hazelnut that didn't overpower the rich dark chocolate ice cream.

    Had this and tried the Whiskey & Pecan - wonderful whiskey flavor but again not overpowering, super creamy ice cream.. the couple bites I had were lacking in the pecans but hopefully there will be more. I was pretty full at this point but really wanted to taste it so only had 2 bites.

    My husbands comment "I don't want to know how much you spent on all of this, I don't even care we will be ordering more"

    That's how you know he's a keeper. ;)

    Holy moly there's some great stuff in this thread!

    I just had to stop by and say I FINALLY got my hands on some Talenti and it did not disappoint! I tried the Sea Salt Caramel and the Caramel Cookie Crunch.

    The Sea Salt Caramel was by far, the favorite between my husband and I! The Cookie Crunch was pretty good too, but not a repeater in my book. Which is okay, because they are friggin' expensive!! I blame you all for turning me to the dark side.

    I felt the same way about the Cookie Crunch. Welcome to the dark side. :)

    Talenti's Cookie Crunch just sounds like it should be so much better than it is...

    The pyramid would have been better if I had cleaned off the counter first but oh well.

    Yesterday was the Chocolate Truffle w/White chocolate peppermint - the cookie was soft inside, the outside had just enough crunch.. perfect balance with the peppermint which didn't have the medicine type peppermint flavor that I tasted in Talenti's peppermint.

    Also had the Buttercup Pumpkin w/Amaretti cookies - my new favorite pumpkin flavor... super creamy subtle pumpkin mixed well with the amaretti cookies YUM!!

    Haven't decided what I'm trying today

    My wife swears by the Talenti, and she's not nearly the ice cream lover I am. Yet, for me, it's failed to live up to the hype. It's definitely good, but I don't get the endless raves from the two flavors I've tried so far, which are salted caramel and vanilla.

    My wife really wants to try the pumpkin pie flavor, which we've not found yet, but I'm hoping it gets me on the Talenti bandwagon.

    I hate to admit it, but I have been TOTALLY slacking lately.

    However, today I picked up some Blue Bunny Caramel Fudge Brownie Sundae Ice cream... and YES! I love it. Caramel, Chocolate, Fudge Brownie chunks... everything I love and only 150 calories per serving.

    Try the Southern Butter Pecan.

    You sir have received a strike!!! You're on thin ice.

    Does the fact that the cookie butter cheesecake landed across the front door 20 minutes ago get me out of the doghouse?

    In my world where Caramel anything is king, absolutely not. >:)

    Caramel anything IS king. Truer words have never been spoken.

    Perhaps I'll give the salted caramel Talenti another go...

    I use to go for long walks and end up all up and down there. I'm surprised I haven't seen Ample Hills yet.

    Will be making a stop. I'm a big rice krispies fan (though the homemade is much better than the prepackaged kind), so good up on the marshmallow pop flavor. Thanks sir.

    I get what you're saying about the caramel. We were on vacation a month ago and stopped by a place that had pretty incredible ice cream. But the caramel was way over salted.

    Tonight: Dannon Oikos Frozen Yogurt. Well, it basically tastes like chocolate plastic. :( The strawberry one is decent, but this is definitely not a repeat purchase.

    I've had the blueberry one a while back and remember it being pretty good, have you tried that one?

    I had Wegman's Banan-a Peel'n ice cream last night and it was the best banana base ice cream I've ever had, I highly recommend it. On tap tonight is Wegman's Nutter Batter, pretty pumped to try this as I'm a huge PB junkie.

    Did you get a response from Olivia or did your posts just come back? If the latter, it makes me wonder if whoever suggested that once you get a certain number of flags you're hidden for awhile was onto something.

    I did send PMs to a couple people. Lemon got back to me that he would look into it but he didn't yet. I don't know if the number of flags is what does that but Prizepopple has much less than I do and she is still banned. Honestly I don't get why they wouldn't let people know that happened. I know of 2 other people it happened to. 1 of them was weeks ago and that person is still gone. I see that user post from time to time but the posts are invisible. The member doesn't know they are invisible obviously. Another person I've seen invisible for at least a week because they post from time to time.

    Craziness.

    To me it seems completely ridiculous (and obviously so) to change the rules and then not be clear about the new procedure. I said the same thing to Olivia about people now being banned from groups as well as the main forums. At the very least they should have officially announced that from the outset. The only reason I knew about it was because it was discussed in Beta testing.
