They are special because the filling has little bits of candy cane inside and they add an extra crunch to the texture. It's very different and they really are a favorite of mine.
I live in hope that next year, they release a gluten free version of their pumpkin Joe-Joe's.
They are my son's absolute favorite Oreo. I agree - they are hard to beat!0 -
Anyone try any of the Twisted Chocolate products that Giant has as a limited edition?
The ice cream seems interesting, but I'm not the hugest chocolate ice cream fan.

I know I saw these the other day and thought the same thing!! I want to try them1 -
Just ate the Black Cherry Enlightened pint. It's been a while since I've had Halo Top's version, but from what I remember it was a little icy, tart, and artificial tasting. Enlightened's was a lot better! Very smooth, sweet, although it did have a very slight medicine taste to it which could have been because I'm not normally a HUGE fan of cherries. I enjoyed it, but there really wasn't a lot of cherry pieces. Plenty of chocolate chips, but I'm not a chocolate chip person, either. Halo Top and Ben & Jerry's gets credit for their generosity with cherries whereas I think I only got one, maybe two decent size pieces in this Enlightened. The base is delicious, but I would have liked bigger/more plentiful cherry pieces and that swirl that Enlightened is known for. A chocolate fudge swirl would have been amazing with this, as would have chocolate slivers instead of chips. Still, I would get it again, just not as often as the other flavors.3

YUM. These taste a lot like a snickerdoodle! Love them.4 -
I was really hoping this would be good. Chocolate covering was too thick and pb was an after thought. Even the chocoated itself was meh. *sigh*

So glad I had that Red Velvet Halo Top just the other night, because these just showed up and now I can compare the two tonight (none of the Halo Top is left, of course, but compare in my mind) ;P I expect nothing less than to demolish a pint each night. Very happily, of course. Man I love these ice creams, people complain about our culture but I love it, I love all these diet friendly products :')
Also, I need those Peeps Oreos even more now...

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. I bought all but 4 of the new enlightened pints. So far, I've tried the cold brew coffee, and birthday cake. I enjoyed the coffee flavor, but the birthday cake flavor fell short for me when compared to Halo Top; it had a really artificial taste to me. Both pints were creamy, but I think they have almost a...gummier texture vs Halo Top which is "airy" to me. I'll buy the coffee again since I'm a huge coffee flavor fan, but if I'm craving Bday Cake, I'll go with the Halo Top.
Super excited to try the remaining flavors

I did not need to see that these were gluten free and know of their existence. Almond and snickerdoodle? Two of my favorite things.0 -

Haha as I am drinking one! I can only find them at gas stations in town in 500ml bottles. Have you seen cases anywhere @singingflutelady ?
I've just seen the 500 ml bottles.
I bought a 12-pack of cans from Superstore a couple weeks ago. Check your local Loblaws-owned grocery store!0 -
Has anyone tried to caramel filled Peeps? Thoughts? Are they worth making the 50 minute drive to my nearest Target for?
For reference, I'm a major Peep fiend.0 -

I checked our Loblaws and no go. Our Shoppers had one lonely case that I snapped up but no plans to bring in more. Sobeys has four or five cases I discovered hidden in the aisle that I am planning to go buy tomorrow when the sales change. Small town problems

I know there is not much love for Walden Farms products on MFP but I recently bought their chocolate syrup. It is not something I would eat where I would want to taste it by itself (like an ice cream topping) BUT a little of it added to my coffee along with some 1/2 & 1/2 makes for a really nice low calorie mocha.

I love the chocolate sauce! I do like it on halo top with some chopped nuts! Delish! I also love their Garlic Herb "pasta sauce", it makes amazing shrimp scampi! Their actual mocha coffee creamer is also very very good, I actually like it more than the chocolate sauce.0 -

I haven't had the filled ones (yet!). But, I've had all the fruity peeps and LOVE them (sour cherry, sour lemon/lime, blue raspberry, watermelon and fruit punch). They are all very good, like a fluffy jolly rancher.0 -

I'm making my way through a bag of the individual (non egg shaped) pieces and....try it cold. You can taste the peanut butter a bit more that way.1 -

I wish around me had the Caffeine Free Diet Mountain Dew (there's some days I don't need caffeine but still want the taste of Diet Mountain Dew). My sister found it in Kentucky when she was there to visit family.0 -

These aren't as bad as I thought they'd be, but for a few more calories I would gladly eat the Nature Valley Almond Butter Cups or the Almond Butter Biscuit.
I like the Snickerdoodle more than the Coconut flavor at least.0 -
Haven't tried the filled Peeps yet, but I DID try these over the weekend. Verdict: Meh. As a LOVER of Cotton Candy flavor, these didn't really hit the mark. Any cotton candy flavor at all was very faint, and possibly due to my expectations rather than actual existence. Not different enough from a regular Peep to be worth my $1.12. Will this stop me from trying the Bubble Gum flavor Peeps? Not likely . . .6 -
There is a Mystery Flavor peep calling my name... I'm not big on cotton candy flavored things. I love that Peeps is making all different sorts, and I will buy every single one. lol!1

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS? Two of my greatest loves are cotton candy and red velvet flavored things, and I already tried the red velvet peeps so this is the last one on my bucket list for the time being. I'll lower my expectations if I have to.
Just tried Enlightened's Bananas Foster Pint! Immediately after my first spoonful and as I continued I absolutely could not think of anything else besides one dessert, and it wasn't Bananas Foster: Banana Pudding. Holy Banana Pudding.
If there's two things I love about the South, it's their Chicken & Dumplings and their Bread Pudding, and here I am taking back every negative thing I said earlier about Enlightened's new pints letting me down by not including swirls or enough interesting things within their flavors. Sure, some Nilla wafers or something would have been neat (I don't care if it's "Bananas Foster" to me it's Bread Pudding and nothing else), but seriously, this is the only time I've ever thought to myself: Less is more. Not as much is going on, but it's so, soooooooo satisfying. I swear I taste whipped cream, too. It rivals Red Velvet surprisingly. If anyone doesn't like Red Velvet or is iffy about it, get this as the first new flavor Enlightened you try. Actually, get all the ones left on the shelf because it won't be there once you return and someone else tries it, too. Nothing tasted fake like it did in their Salted Caramel to me (but again, the caramel swirl isn't AS abundant, either), it's all wonderful.
EDIT: After a glob of caramel, I take that back. This caramel swirl is different. It's more rich and buttery. Either I'm crazy or this one doesn't taste fake at all!

Today at Giant I Bought Enlightened Sea Salt Caramel and Brownie/Cookie Dough. They had Mint, Triple Chocolate, and Peanut Butter. What did everyone think of the last three I mentioned.0

Walmart! They also had Bubble Gum, fruit punch and a bunch of other fun flavors, but none of the dipped or filled ones (at least not yet- there's plenty of time until Easter).

I just wanted to drop in and give a "report" as I purchased a couple of yummy new products I learned about courtesy of this thread and you fellow foodies!
1) Enlightened Caramel Oatmeal Cookie....OH. MY. GAH. Stop what you are doing this instance, and run out and get you a couple of pints of this! Everyone is so right. This flavor is delicious, and what I was hoping the Halo Top Oatmeal Cookie would be. Even distribution of oatmeal clusters and caramel swirls. Worth every single calorie! I also tried the Cold Brew Coffee which I personally really loved and will buy again, as well as the BDAY cake. For that flavor, I'll go with Halo Top...strong artificial flavor in the enlightened version.
2) Nutri Grain Crumble Cakes (Lemon, Blueberry, Cinnamon): These were delicious. I love crumb cake to begin with , so it was an easy win for me. I'm not sure one bar is worth 160 cals given they don't hold me over, but still delicious , and with a better profile than a normal crumb cake
3) Yoplait Dippers: I wasn't too impressed with these. The yogurt was watery, and lacked the texture I was looking for. Still edible, but once I finish the 3 I bought, I won't be repurchasing.
4) Thomas Pizza Bagels: DELICIOUS! I actually like them as is, or toasted with some butter. I tried them with cream cheese, and melted cheese as well, but found I really enjoy the flavor profile as is without the extra fluff
5) Skinny Pop Jalapeno: I need 20 more bags of this. I love the flavor of skinny pop popcorn (the sunflower oil just does it for me), and add in my other fav, Jalapeno...so so so good. Addictively good. Sells out so quick
6) Graham Slams (Grape and Strawberry): Ok, these are ridiculously good. I'm a fan of PB and J, and the texture of the graham, PB, Jelly straight from the freezer was a win for me. That being said, one bar is 230 calories, and that just isn't worth it to me, esp since I want to eat 10 in one sitting lol . So, unfortunately not a re-purchase for me.
7) Thomas Maple French Toast English Muffins: Very tasty, but not worth the calories. Will stich with the 100 cal versions...and the blueberry which is totally worth the calories for me.
I have the deep fried Twinkies, remaining enlightened flavors, a variety pack order from the Dough Bar, new (to me) lenny and larry flavors, new (again to me as I've only tried 2 varieties) sargento breaks, Tim Tams, Carrot Cake Kisses, Oreo Cadbury Egg, and some other misc items I cant recall to at home to try. I love this thread so hard. Its like the only one I contribute on the occasions I do (lol I'm a lurker I guess). Thanks for all the good tips everyone!!!!7 -

Wasn't crazy at all about the brownie, the sea salt caramel isn't bad, but if you really want a good first impression try the cookie dough first it's delicious and has plenty of cookie dough pieces!
Out of those you've mentioned, I would choose Triple Chocolate, Mint, then Peanut Butter. The peanut butter is kind of boring and (to me at least) hardly tastes like peanut butter and the chocolate chips just get downright annoying. The mint is really good, but nothing at all compares to the Triple Chocolate out of those. Girl to girl, save the Triple Chocolate for PMS xD
Also, be sure to let these pints thaw at room temperature for a good while before you eat them. Usually I thaw Halo Top for about 10 minutes or so and that's plenty, but Enlightened I thaw for 30 minutes (sometimes more, and sometimes I throw them in the microwave for 10 seconds after this)!0 -

Thanks for your the reviews! I'm not a huge peanut butter fan in general so I'm glad I asked here first. The only peanut butter ice cream/gelato I've tried that I love is Talenti's Peanut Butter Pretzel.
Eventually I'll have to try the Triple Chocolate, but I better cool it for awhile since I bought those & more of the Halo Top Birthday Cake.
Does anyone know if Wegman's carries Enlightened in case I ever get there to find the rest of the flavors?

I bought the Confetti Cake & Caramel Cake
If these are good I might buy the Brownie & there was a Cookies & Cream flavor. I found these in an action alley at my local Wal-Mart.1
