I tried the chocolate mocha chip this weekend, and it's pretty darned good! Not Blue Bell good - but better than the free soft serve at Jason's Deli, you know?
I've got to find the peanut butter cup.0 -

My Kroger has Halo Top on sale for $3.99/pint, AND they're offering it as a part of their "Buy 5, Save $5" promotion ( basically, you but any 5 participating items and get $5.00 deducted from your total at checkout), AND I had 5 $1.00 off coupons to use on them. So I got five pints of Halo Top for $9.95 today, before tax.
I'm allowed to hate you right?
Me too lol
She paid less for five pints than i do for one! 2 -

Honestly, Halo Top and Tootsie Rolls are the only two foods that make me sad about being vegan LOL0

I'm a food engineer and worked for Haagen Daz for years.
Halo Top uses Erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol from corn. No proven medical side-affects "yet"
But its application in food is still early.
The price confuses me, it's basically milk with butterfat removed and whey added. But hey, people are buying it!
I have had it and enjoy it but a little pricey for me. Sorry if I bursted any bubbles!
Some sugar alcohols irritate my IBS, has anyone had an issue with halo top causing IBS issues?1 -

I have IBS...but constipation. I can't tell if halo top is messing with it or not. I have it even when I'm not eating it.0 -
I have never heard of Halo Top, but now that I have, I must try it!0

I have both, generally constipation- I think that is stress triggered, but a few foods trigger the other kind. Some sugar alcohols have been pretty bad for me.
I saw it at Safeway, maybe I just need to try some on a day when I'm not going anywhere and see how I handle it. Right now I just treat myself with real ice cream sometimes.0 -

Yeah maybe try a serving one evening. Sucks that it's hard to tell if it's worth it. I honestly don't even care what I need to stop eating anymore. I'm so frustrated.0 -
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.
There is no comparison between Arctic Zero and Halo Top. Arctic Zero tastes like it's made from the tears of human sadness. Halo Top is actually good (IMO). I just had some Pistachio for dessert tonight, last night it was Chocolate Almond Crunch. I usually have at least 3 or 4 pints in the freezer at any given time.5 -

I don't have IBS nor am I sensitive to sugar alcohols, but every once in a while eating a whole pint of Halo Top will....loosen things up, to put it politely. It doesn't happen every time and it never happens if I just eat one or two servings.3 -
Does this stuff taste "just like ice cream" the way shiritaki noodles taste "just like pasta," and those 2 ingredient banana and egg pancakes taste "just like real pancakes," and nutritional yeast tastes "just like cheese"? If so, count me out. There's a long list of "tastes just like" foods that really don't. They mostly just taste like lies to me.
Now if this stuff really does taste just like regular ice cream, please disregard my post.5 -

No, at least IMO. And not the way cauliflower pizza crust tastes "just like pizza crust" either. Does it taste absolutely identically as good and rich and thick and creamy as your favorite full-calorie, slow-churned gourmet ice cream flavor? No, it doesn't - or it would have just as many calories too. But it tastes just as good or better than a lot of run-of-the-mill "mainstream" ice creams to me. I'm not crazy over every flavor they make - Birthday Cake is too sweet for me, Lemon Cake has never been my gig, etc. - but a lot of them are good.4 -

I eat a pint like every night. Definitely doesn't loosen anything up. Except my bank account. I have issues.5 -
Not a fan of arctic zero but the red velvet halo top is the bomb0

Same here. It tastes just as good to me as Friendly's, Breyer's and the average 170ish calories a serving ice creams. Obviously it doesn't come close to Talenti, Haagen Dazs, or B&J, but for less picky people who love quantity, it's definitely worth it.2 -
This thread has inspired me - I'm buying it this week to give it a try (though a bit skeptical because Haagen Daz Caramel Cone is my holy grail).
I had 290 calories left yesterday and nothing to eat for dessert. This thread was practically taunting me!3
