    Just tried Talenti Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan. It has an odd taste to me. :confused:

    Did it taste like vanilla extract? That's the taste I got from it. I ate it anyway, because I can't throw food out. I just ate it with tears in my eyes.

    You know what? Yes, yes it did. I couldn't quite put my finger on the taste, but that's it. I'm giving it to my parents. Any other Talenti flavors I should avoid before I waste my money and calories?

    Those are the only ones I think that have gotten downright bad reviews, but the caramel cookie crunch tends to disappoint people. That was the second or third flavor I tried and I remembering thinking that it was good but not any better than a lot of the other caramel options that have less calories. Oh actually now that I think of it, the mango one has gotten some pretty bad reviews too. I think someone said it was the worst thing they'd ever eaten.

    I have to finish out my Deep Dark Chocolate before I can start in on this one, but I'm looking forward to it. I might sneak a spoonful or two later. :*

    WEIS ICE CREAMS ARE WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED. I thought all rocky roads were gonna be the same but Weis's blows me away.

    I've also eaten some Magnum ice cream bars lately and they were nice. Chocolate mania, but that's kind of the point. I tried the triple chocolate and peanut butter one, and I liked the PB one most. The portion is reasonable.

    I just bought a box of mini Double Caramel bars for the first time in a while. Small, but I can't justify almost 400 calories for the regular size one.

    Oh yeah, I'm trying this next.

    It was very good. I snuck some last night and I'm having a full serving tonight. Even my 6 year old loved it. It had ALOT of mix-ins. It definitely was not a piddley amount. So pleased.

    I picked up a quart of Sam's Choice Blackberry Crumble at Walmart last night. It was a little light on the pie crust mix-ins, but it was realllly good. Better than Coffee & Donuts, IMO.

    The Oatmeal Raisin hasn't gotten the best reviews. I actually only know of one person who likes that one (and that person liked the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, if that tells you anything :wink: ). Also the mango I've heard isn't great. Those are the only ones I know of.

    Speculoos also has a Cookies & Cream spread which I've heard was delicious, but I held off on getting it. I think Jif has sea salt caramel, or salted caramel, and was told that was also good.

    Let's all take a moment to pay respect to our recently banned group leader, @MrM27. It really is a sad, sad day on the forums when people are banned for being blunt and not backing down.

    That sucks. They need to overhaul the whole flagging system.

    I bet the guy they said uses a fake CEO picture is still posting.

    I enjoy the whole 340 calories in the peanut butter one for the amount of chocolate and peanut butter, not the ice cream really. I have a Reese's magic shell I use from time to time and the calories end up about the same. Definitely wouldn't keep Magnums in sTock at all times, but I will try the minis.

    I used to love Magnums so much, but I tried them again 2 years ago and was very disappointed for some reason.

    Banned for good, and this is creating quite the stir as there is a theory that the ban was initiated by and pushed for by certain members of the Low Carb Group. I don't know all the details as I really try to stay out of all the MFP politics. I just like my ice cream and wine, and I like truthful people who are grounded in logic and science, especially those who mix in a healthy dose of sarcasm. That's why I like all of you so much!

    Because we need some better news...

    965h07zdekju.jpg

    Went to Kroger for the first time in a couple months and found this in the place where they were going to put Jeni's. It's a local-ish company too (Cincinnati, which is where Kroger's HQs are located) and does work with several restaurants in the city. This flavor is apparently a really popular one in New Zealand...vanilla base with honeycomb toffee swirls. It tastes like butterscotch to me and I'm in love.
