    I didn't care for the apple pieces. They had a weird texture to me.

    Awww...no. They're apple pieces? I figured they'd be like pie crust pieces.

    I think it had both-- it's been awhile. I just remember really liking the base and the caramel part but not being able to get past the texture of the apples.

    I had the caramel apple pie one a while ago too; I believe it had both Apple bits and crust bits.


    @mamapeach910, I hear mixed reviews too, but I loved it! I have to run to the store for eggs tonight and I may just look through the freezer section and see if any Talenti sales are going on...raspberry cheesecake is at the top of my list.

    Yeah. Those apple bits actually suck pretty badly. I'm surprised they even it sell it like that. The base is good though.

    Yeah I think it's both. I've only had one serving of it and I wasn't impressed either.

    It's a very dumb flavor. I mean...I'll eat it. But, not the best.

    I finally tried the coffee chocolate chip and the southern butter pecan. The first was okay - nice coffee flavor. The second was amazing.

    I still would rather have a slice of pecan pie. It IS good though.

    I really liked it. Top 5. It's still all about the salted caramel though.

    I must be the only one who likes it.

    This kinda makes me glad I didn't pick up caramel apple from Krogers today. I was really eyeing that flavor too.

    Southern butter pecan was super good.

    That's okay, I absolutely love the chocolate peanut butter cup and I think I've only run across maybe one other person who really liked that one.

    I'm thinking maybe I should join this group. I just recently started eating ice cream again (and I haven't had gelato since the summer of '07!).

    I'll definitely peruse the thread, some of the ice creams that I've seen mentioned so far I've never heard of! And I'm getting more curious about Talenti...

    I keep eyeballing that one.

    Butter Pecan is really one of my favorite flavors they have.

    If anyone has seen German Chocolate Cake I urge you to try it, it's amazing in my opinion.
    I finished off the German chocolate cake in one sitting. Then I couldn't find it again. Sad.

    I have found all sorts of wonderful ice creams and gelatos through other group members' reviews in the group forum. I'm not even really an ice cream / gelato aficionado but the group got me trying all sorts of incredible treats. Join!

    OMG German Chocolate Cake is one of my favorite things ever and I googled... no gluten. I can have it. I will hunt this down like a hunting thing that hunts.

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    I've never been able to find the German Chocolate cake. Very sad about that.

    Yeah the raspberry cheesecake pieces are lemony, which is probably why I wasn't a fan (just tasted too tart for me). I like the caramel apple pie though, and the peanut butter cup, just not my favorites either, so I'd rather spend the calories on something else (still got to finish the caramel apple pie, but saving it for when a pie craving hits).

    Butter pecan is great. Sure, I'd rather have a slice of pecan pie, but 220 calories vs 600, well... you got to make a choice somewhere. My daughter and husband polished off the sea salt caramel we had, so I got her the Trader Joe's gelato. I like it too, and it's cheaper (but yeah, no candy piece in it).

    Tiramisu is awesome. Drove by a Giant when I was 20 minutes away and had to stop, and they had it. Really wish I could find it closer.

    I think the calorie count on the Talenti is spooking me. :fearful: Maybe when I up my maintenance calories more. I'm at 1300 right now.
