Once we get another bonus I'll buy a few of the newer flavors off their website unless there's crazy shipping charges.
I also bought the following:
This wasn't very flavorful & not worth the calories!
I would have definitely bought that, so thank you for saving me a couple bucks there!! I've had so many disappointing burrito bowls but I keep trying to find one as satisfying as Taco Bell's steak cantina power bowl or even Wawa's burrito bowls (my sympathies if you don't live close to a wawa it's so delicious)!!
This one is much better!

Tried the Mint Chip tonight & it was amazing! For the price though I'll probably just buy Edy's Mint Chip since it basically tastes the same.0 -

Ever since I saw the red velvet flavor that company had it's something I eye every time I go to Walmart but I haven't been able to pick up because I tell myself I have too much in my freezer already...
Which...
Hah...
Speaking of too much in my freezer I picked up a pint of cookie dough enlightened ice cream from Shoprite and on my way in my house I see a box from Icecreamsource.com for me! I never bought anything from them but I opened it and found each flavor of Enlightened's pints in their new containers! Apparently I won their Facebook contest during New Years :')
I loved their pints, but I'm nervous with these new containers. If they get rid of their transparent containers does that mean they'll gradually use less and less swirl/mix ins? I can't imagine why else they wouldnt want to show it off unless they plan on skimping on us in the long run and this will prevent us from noticing as much!?

I tried this out today; not super impressed. I didn't really get a chocolate or caramel vibe from this, and definitely no sea salt. It was mostly just sweet. It reminded me of the Cafe Latte flavor Yoplait used to have. If you're just out for something different, and you don't hate the Whips, definitely give it a try, but don't expect it to taste like it says it's going to.

Which ones? I really don't care for the regular ones for some reason (or the brownie ones, I think even the kids didn't like those).[/quote]Hot cocoa
I think I prefered Kodiak Cakes but it's been a while since I've had any pancakes really

Tried the birthday cake flavor Eat Me Guilt Free today and honestly, if you put a blindfold on me I wouldn't taste a difference between this and their blondie. Very sweet (almost too much so) and had a slight bitter/weird aftertaste from the stevia. For 175 calories and a cake that has 22g of protein though I liked it and give it a thumbs up, but I can't say it's worth what they normally charge. Good, but tasted nothing like birthday cake

OMG I HAVE SOOO MUCH JEALOUSY COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS RIGHT NOW!!!1! ALL THE Enlightened Ice Cream, AND it was free, AND it was a surprise...! Wow--that is so very awesome, cheers!
I don't know why they changed their packaging, either, though maybe the transparent-plastic supplier was asking too much...? I would like to think, though, that we would notice and complain bitterly if they skimped on the swirl-in...5 -

I tried the chocolate tonight - LOVE! The birthday cake and chocolate are tied for first place. Lol.
I also tried the s'mores. It was just okay. Not sure if I would purchase again.
I tried the oatmeal cookie last night and I will not be purchasing that again. It was very grainy and had a weird texture when scooping it out. (And yes I left it out for a few minutes before diving into it). Also wasn't turned on with the rolled oats.
Now I'm just waiting for the red velvet!
I saw the phily cheesecakes today. They were 2/$7 so I didn't pick them up. Interested to see what others think. Cute little oval tub that it comes in.
Oh - and thanks to whomever shared that ibotta had the halo top $1 coupon.

Okay, I LOVE the banana deep-fried Twinkies. The deep-fried outer skin is everything I didn't know I wanted and doesn't overpower the cream. As was suggested on this thread, I didn't bother heating it in the oven.
It's also not too sweet, a nice change of pace. I'll pick up another box if Krogers has any left, even full price lol. It does make me want to try the other flavors.
Also, I went to Red Mango for the first time and tried lucky taro. If I was closer to home, I would have bought a quart of the stuff. I did about half cake batter half taro in case the taro was disappointing and completely regret it.1 -

Yes, I also won Halo Top's contest and got 2 free pints and Kodiak Cake's for a free box haha I don't know if I'm lucky or I just enter way too many xD Every time I see something pop up in my news feed (which I follow a lot of brands so there's always at least three each time I log on) I enter it! I'm telling you guys, there's so much out there to be won!
Also, decided to finally pick these up and try them. Surprisingly I liked them baked more than I liked the cookie dough raw; VERY delicious and totally worth the calories!
Also tried Eat Me Guilt Free's pumpkin cake. I'll admit, I wasn't blown away by any of their products until I tried this one. VERY moist and the first one that didn't taste fake (unless I'm getting used to it by now). 5/5 and would buy it again easily, but apparently they're discontinuing it (seasonal flavor perhaps, hopefully not forever gone)! It's labelled pumpkin spice, but it tastes like PUMPKIN bread and it wasn't heavily spiced flavored like many "pumpkin" products out there. Very high quality tasting, not candle-wax like at all ;P

Picked this up today and not impressed. It reminds me of a slightly minty Cocoa Puffs when eaten plain, but when eaten with milk I don't taste the mint at all. Definitely not buying it again.
Although, I thought the same thing about the mocha Dunkin' Donuts pop tarts but both my father and mother said they were the best pop tarts they've ever had and already picked up three more family size boxes of them (but note, my mom normally hates coffee; she said she tasted it [I didn't] but that it wasn't bitter).
I still think the vanilla latte was WAY better.

I'm hoping one of us finds the new Oreo cereal soon.0 -
Thought of you guys when I saw these at my brother's house today. He has no idea of the discussions people have about Red Velvet....everything!
Have a good Sunday all!1 -
I'm sure someone's brought up the Edoughable Cookie Dough. I tried the chocolate chip, birthday blast, and cookies and cream at Whole Foods and liked the first two (maybe a little too much) but not the third. The cookies part wasn't good to me.
They're around 110-120 calories per 28 grams, 7 servings in a container. I have noooooo idea how comparable thst is to the unedible cookie dough.

I looked for them and didn't see them
But, if you like Halo Top check out their Facebook!!!! You can really make out good right now with their pints!!! Huge giveaway posted today

I actually work for companies occasionally sampling out products and these were something I was assigned with their s'mores flavor! I loooooove them, especially when heated up about 5-10 secondsI'm sure someone's brought up the Edoughable Cookie Dough.

The toll house lemon poppy seed cookies I bought today were 80 calories for a 19g serving, which is about 118 calories for 28 grams, so I'd say that's pretty average!0 -

Red velvet oreos were actually one of my favorite flavors of all time!2 -
Tried the Vanilla Halo Top & Chocolate Halo Top tonight (what can I say I live dangerously with sweeteners LOL).
I liked the Vanilla Halo Top & found it creamy & smooth. I wasn't much of a fan of the chocolate ice cream, but then again I am not a huge chocolate ice cream fan in general.
The only chocolate ice cream I've found that I really enjoy is Gelato Fiasco's Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel.
So far I would rank the four flavors I tried as:
1. Birthday Cake
2. Mint Chip
3. Vanilla Bean
4. Chocolate1 -

Bummer. I loved the chocolate. Tasted like a frosty from Wendy's to me (just not creamy).4 -
So, I tried this today from 7-11, and I was pleasantly surprised! This isn't replacing my protein bars, but it's a nice crunchy-chocolate-handfuls-of-bits fix when one has a craving, like at the movies or something. I'm definitely getting a box at Walmart.

I've been looking at workout apps. I'm eyeing Carrot Fit or doing the Fitstar through Fitbit. Anyone tried either one?0

For anyone wondering about the new Smores Gurl Scout cookies...
Your local council gets to decide which bakery they source cookies from. There are two: Little Brownie Bakers, which makes the sandwich like smore cookie, and ABC Bakery, which makes this cookie below. There are also differences between other cookies, but if you don't know them, google it.
So, here's the inside of the ABC "smore" cookie.
As you can see, there's not much "smores" going on here. There is a faint white line of some sort of icing that I can't really taste. It's simply a fudge covered Graham cookie, like you can buy at every grocery or dollar store.
Personally, if I'm going to shell out $5 for a box of cookies, I want something a bit more unique. Pass for me.

only $4 here but still. 0 -
I never understood the fascination that the rest of America seemed to have with Girl Scout Cookies anyway. I mean, they taste okay, but that's just the thing. They taste okay. No better or worse than Keebler cookies, IMO. Not worth nearly $5.00 for a small-ish box, in any case, unless you just want to give the scouts some money.5

I haven't found a Keebler cookie that tastes nearly as good as Thanks-a-lots.
I found these on sale at Shop Rite
I actually like it better than Siggi's! Will definitely buy again, just wish there were more than the same old boring flavors.3
