    @hgycta I've seen the Muscle Milk bars at Kroger for awhile now, not sure if you have Kroger where you are. I haven't tried any because the Muscle Milk protein drinks are...not to my taste. At all. Ever again. So I run from that brand.

    Sad ☹️ has anyone else noticed this with their HT pints? It's happened to me twice now with the Peanut Butter Cup. It might be the retailer's fault. I emailed HT.
    (Sorry not a new product but this HT seems to be a sub forum on this thread, my favorite of all the threads amongst ALL the threads)

    These are good. Like a sweet and sour raisin.

    Tried the birthday cake flavor Muscle Milk protein bar and honestly I was a lot more impressed than I thought I'd be! So far it's my favorite birthday cake flavor bar out there, it didn't taste fake to me at all and didn't even have a whey taste to
    It. Very satisfying, but my only complaint is that it's not as filling as other protein bars

    I think this is a shipment failure. At some point it thawed and froze again. It may be why it loses that "fluff" volume.

    Saw this at Target and couldn't resist. Much better than those pathetic Smart Made Meals that aren't filling at all in my opinion. I'll definitely get this again!

    I had $10 to spend at GNC and the selection wasn't great, so I got a couple things.

    Not sure how new this is.

    It's not bad, but not good enough for the calories that I'll want to buy it again.

    Didn't love it, but I'd give it a 7/10. It was pretty tasty.

    Tried this today and it was weird. I had their lemon bar a while ago and though it was tasty but this is so chalky and icky.

    Ive had the blueberry cobler and the chocolate peanut butter. I agree the texture is a bit weird but has very milky flavor which I like. I think the chocolate fudge tastes like dirt though lol.

    i also tried the ONE bar recently too, but just a sample of the blueberry cobbler flavor. i'd personally rate it at a 10/10 because i loved the texture and flavor. my favorite bars so far would have to be quest and ONE bars.

    Weird, isn't it? My trainer told me it was amazing, so I gave it a try. Meh.

    The watermelon Jolly Rancher is my favorite, but just no! After trying the watermelon flavor they had last year I will definitely be passing on this one.

    Good to know. I've looked at those in the store before to keep in my dorm. Will probably steer clear or try kodiak cakes brand instead

    Limited-Edition-Pop-Secret-Popfetti.jpg?resize=640%2C438 this looks good but I bet it would be better if it was kettle corn and popped up to taste like bday cake lol. I am not a fan of prepopped pop corn I prefer fresh so that would be a cool flavor for fresh popped.

    Someone bought a box of the new chocolate twinkies. I have only had a twinkie a few times in my life, never been a huge fan but these were really good. Very strong cocoa flavor. I envisioned this tasting like a hoho but it had a distinct cocoa favor much different than hohos.

    How do the probiotics survive the microwave? Are they soil-based or something?

    I don't find them artificial, but for dryness, I found that there's a sweet spot that gets the muffins just right. I personally eyeball the correct amount of water; the 1/4 cup water recommendation ALWAYS results in a dry muffin for me. I add in water until I get a consistency somewhat thinner than that of pancake mix. Doing this adds volume and moisture. However, If I add too much water, the flavor gets lost. I've used many different microwaves for these muffins, and I watch carefully to see when the muffin is complete. I might stir the mix every 10 seconds or so to get an even consistency since some parts do cook faster than others. When the muffin is still somewhat wet, I pull it out of the microwave and it quickly finishes setting on its own. Even 5 seconds too long will result in a dry muffin.
    It's all about trial and error.
    Yeah, it seems like a hassle to get the muffin right, but after having so many, it doesn't feel like a chore at all, and the tasty muffin is worth it.

    For the calories, I should just have made some Kodiak cake chocolate pancakes!

    I got the PB one too so I'll try that one with more liquid...

    Birthday-Cake-Fitjoy-Protein-Bar-by-Cellucor.jpg?v=1487717284

    I think I'm going to stop bothering with protein bars (again, only got some because I had $10 to spend by the end of the month). It's just too artificial tasting and really not satisfying at all for the calories. At least it's somewhat filling.

    I had the peanut butter mighty muffin too. That one was tastier, I did put more liquid but it was still half raw and it took a lot of extra 5 or 10 seconds to get it to actually cook in the middle. Wasn't as dry though.

    I was the one who had the Halo Top pint that was all pulled away from the sides. I wrote to them, they wrote back and gave me 2 coupons for a free pint and explained it is a melting/re-freezing issue. They also said they don't use big refrigerated trucks like other ice cream companies so it could have happened there or at the store.
    Either way, win for HT for good customer service!

    haha really? When I complained to them about the artificially tasting pints, they just basically told me 'you have to let them melt before eating' and completely ignored my concerns.
