NEW!!! Kroger Copycat Halo Top

Costco and Fred Meyer's (Kroger) are my stores and I almost always go Kirkland at Costco and Kroger or Simple Truth at Fred's, if the same item is available as offered in the name brand. The super cheap Psst... brand is sometimes okay at Fred's. We are always a bit behind in terms of getting new products, but I frequent the ice cream section looking for a good deal on Halo Top so I can stock up (can anyone really spend $6.99 on a single pint???) and will keep my eyes peeled.

Halotop is between $10-$12 a pint here in Aus. You guys get it dirt cheap compared to us

I found this ice cream today at my Kroger. Tried the Birthday Cake, Chocolate, and Sea Salt Caramel. The first two taste very close to the Halo Top flavors and are good. The last one is also good, but I don't remember Halo Top's version to compare it. Its like a butterscotch caramel swirl.

The tubs were by one of our three Halo Top stocking areas at the "end" freezer of an aisle. They were $3.99 full price. For comparison, Halo Top runs $5.49 where I live. A bit more expensive than I hoped but at least they're cheaper for when Halo Top isn't on sale and I want some ice cream.

Hey, can you post an image of the nutrition label?

If that's something that you would have to figure out how to do, don't worry - I'll check it out myself at the store.

Here's the label for the chocolate one.

Edit: I added the nutrition facts for all three flavors to the database. Just search for "Low Cow Lite Ice Cream" to find the nutrition facts for all 3 (Chocolate, Birthday Cake, Sea Salt Caramel). I made sure they were in grams.

So funny you say it tastes like butterscotch caramel swirl cuz that's exactly what halo tops salted caramel tastes like to me! How's the texture of these compared to halo top? I notice halo top is hit or miss with texture. Sometimes super soft and creamy without having to thaw and other times it's hard as a rock.

Maybe they'll be cheaper in different locations. Kroger sells Halo Top for $4.99 where I live, but it's pretty much constantly "on sale" for $3.99.

How was the texture/consistency compared to Halo Top and Enlightened? Creamy and like real ice cream? RIP @ Arctic Zero

The Low Cow ice cream was like Halo Top and was creamy when microwaved for a few seconds. Haven't tried Enlightened or Artic Zero to compare.

I wonder if it will be real ice cream or the frozen dairy dessert?

Tried this because the protein is great in it, I tried the Vanilla bean was only $3.99. However it gave me the worst headache i've ever had, I threw it away

Yes I want this to be a battle of the light ice creams. It will only end cheaper and deliciously!

Agreed!!! This is a win-win for consumers.

I may have to check out the Kroger brand. I typically shop at Meijer, but I could swing by a Kroger (I have two within 5 miles of me) to check these out.

I just bough the kroger brand tonight with two flavors- can't wait to compare- was about$1.25 cheaper than HT- hope it taste good. I also HOPE that we get the Breyers brand soon- because I love Breyers ice cream so this will be a great " ice cream battle royal" !!!!!

I have to look for that Breyers version

I know right? I'm just hoping that the base is real ice cream since some of their frozen dairy dessert flavors just flat out suck. If it is frozen dairy dessert & manages to taste great then I'll definitely buy this in place of Halo Top since the cheapest I can ever get it around where I live is $4.64 at Wal-Mart.

Weis & Giant sell Enlightened & sometimes sell that for $3.99-$4.99. The only two flavors I've really loved from what I can get (no new flavors yet) are Red Velvet, Triple Chocolate, & Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Crunch.

People that have Shop Rite (grocery store) can get these brands for $2.88 during sales.

Why can't/won't some eat it?
