    I've only tried the Birthday cake one and hated it. Tasted very artificial to me. I've been looking for more flavors and can't seem to find any.

    Everyone loves that oatmeal one? I love Halo Top and that's the first flavor I tried that I thought was yuck. I tend to just stick to chocolate or vanilla. I like the 240 calorie count because I eat the whole thing.

    I didn't care for the Birthday Cake flavor very much; it was too sweet without much flavor. But then I tried sprinkling on some Ovaltine and it ended up tasting like chocolate with vanilla frosting! B)

    If it's any consolation @zyxst, it's twice as expensive as B&J.

    B&J here is almost $5 a pint. halo top is cheaper.

    B&J is $3.50 here, Halo Top is often over $6, and it never goes on special. :(

    The halo top is much more expensive in Oregon as well, my husband really wanted to try his own flavor and I made us skip weekend Starbucks to compensate. $13 for two!!! Never again. It's good but I can't justify that!

    I can't believe no one mentioned chocolate almond crunch. By far, my fave. Worth every penny (but my kids are grown and out of the house, otherwise I'd have to hide it). :wink:

    I really like Halo Top...
    Salted Caramel - Really Great my personal fave.
    Chocolate-Good Flavor, smooth and cream. At go to.
    Vanilla-Very good
    Chocolate Almond Crunch-Eh... its okay. I do think the bits of almonds are a nice touch.
    Black Cherry- It's good after the 2nd bite... It's almost like there is another flavor with this not just cherry.
    Birthday cake-Its good but it's almost too sweet. So you can't eat more than 1 serving. I love the sprinkles.

    Next on the list to try is: Lemon Cake and Cookies and Creme if its in stock.

    HEB sells it... but only 2-3 flavors depending on the store. I tend to buy it at Whole Foods.
    Ben & Jerry is about $4 and this is $5 so yeah... about what and what.

    I'm thankful that ice cream is not one of my favorites. Or at least, I can go a long time without it! I have seen Halo Top at our Kroger, but have resisted so far.

    I'm such a sucker for Halo, especially when it's on sale for $2.88 at the Shoprite by me. Oatmeal is by far my favorite followed by pistachio and mint chip.

    I still am not in the in crowd. I could not pay the $5 for the pint. My sister bought me some for my birthday but I have not touched it yet. I think it is just because I am stubborn and do want to follow the crowd. Maybe this weekend.

    I'm low carb, pay $5 for 4 servings, have it maybe once a week or so. Well worth it to me. I love the lemon....

    I keep a pint of Blue Bell in my freezer and just make sure to have some calories left over when I have a hankering. There are very few "diet" foods that are worth it in my opinion. Halo Top was, eh ...

    Color me intrigued. I had tried the Arctic Zero but it was TERRIBLE. Didn't have the mouth feel, flavor, or softness of ice cream. But now I'll have to try Halo Top, especially since peanut butter cup is my drug of choice.
