I had to travel a little out of my way for a doctor's appointment today which brought me to a Shoprite I don't normally shop at, so I checked for new Halo Top flavors.
They finally had some (although their selection was very limited and I only found two of the new flavors).
While they had the one I was most excited to try, unfortunately, one of the flavors they had (of course) was my least favorite, green tea mochi. I love mochi, I hate green tea. Reviews said it didn't taste like green tea so I said heck with it and threw it in my cart. The other was the pancakes & waffle, which I just noticed you all gave poor reviews on so I'll try it tomorrow but I'm pretty optimistic since I'm obsessed with pancakes.
Green tea mochi:
Probably because my hatred for green tea is so strong I do notice the green tea flavor at first, but it's very subtle and my taste buds are confused and picking up more of what tastes like lime? The more I eat it, the more it definitely tastes like Dannon's light & fit artificial key lime greek yogurt and the less I taste the tea. The mochi is a fun addition.
I didn't throw out the pint like I expected I would, but it's not something I would get again (OK, I would, but not nearly as often as the other flavors) since I'm not a huge lime person and the green tea flavor is in the back of my mind. Still, it was sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and I'm impressed. Impressed and so indecisive about how I feel. Finishing a pint of what I thought I'd vomit over is a great start for these new flavors as far as I'm concerned! Just wish the exotic flavor they would have brought about was taro or purple ube/purple yam, but beggars can't be choosers. At least it wasn't chai.
I'm glad you didn't hate it! I loved pancakes and waffles!1 -

Noreen these are amazing! The cookie has a graham taste and the icing has the gritty texture of cookie butter. Found at Giant.4 -

Thank you, going to check there this weekend I must have these.... I am a SUCKER for anything with a graham cracker taste and cookie butter is my favorite so pair the two together and..... I will probably eat the whole box at once LOL!4 -

Do they taste any differently from the old ones?1 -

Just tried the updated formula. The chocolate chunks are crazy (see below). Corn fiber is still the primary source of fiber, but the texture is not so "cakey." As you can see it looks more like the original, original formula. Very subtle change, but noticeable. Not sure what Quest did to make this change, but I approve! Flavor wise, the cocoa butter is much more pronounced and not as artificial. Definite improvement!

I tried pancakes and waffles and it tastes like alcohol to me! It was like bourbon ice cream to me....which isn't necessarily a bad thing haha. I also tried cinnamon roll last night and THAT ONE IS on point!!! Might be my new favorite flavor. Also noticed those pints not being as rock hard as the original flavors. I didn't even have to let them sit out.2 -

Oh gosh, I really should start trusting some of you more. I LOVE pancakes but I agree, this pancakes & waffle pint has some serious aftertaste going on. I don't drink alcohol too much so I can't tell if it would be similar to bourbon ice cream, but I can definitely say that they used too much stevia (I've tried making lower calorie desserts and have this same off-putting bitter flavor when I use too much powdered stevia extract). I never once thought in a million years I'd end up liking the green tea mochi flavor more than their pancakes & waffle flavor! Honestly though I probably won't get either one again. Much higher hopes for the caramel macchiato, candy bar, pumpkin pie, and cinnamon roll flavors! So glad I desperately paid $5 for this one pint before it went on sale since I would have ended up being stuck with at least 5 of these assuming I'd love it.
If nothing else, as you've mentioned, at least they aced the texture! No thawing at all and it was perfect consistency to eat - that's a first!

So my local Target doesn't have the cookie butter oreos in yet but they did have the count chocula treats (of which I bought 6 boxes) and a box of the quest blueberry muffin protein bars. They also had the candy bar halo top but I couldn't buy that since I still had to come back to work.0

The caramel macchiato flavor also has a very strong artificial aftertaste and lacks any hint of caramel swirl. Be warned.2 -

I appreciate that, I'll be sure to only buy one then until I try it first XD but so many people complain about the salted caramel and cookies & cream flavor which are my two favorites so I'm determined to try them all at least once still just to try. My parents went out of town and stopped by a shoprite and just for the sake of it I made them check the selection of Halo Top and they didn't have the new flavors there either! This will be a much longer process than I hoped, Maryland retailers needs to step up its game because Halo Top flies off the shelves - I know I'm not the only one obsessed!!!0 -

Never heard of it I have Shoprite, Walmart, Target, Safeway, Giant, and Wegmans. Or at least, that's all I really ever go to. I'm sure Wegmans will have it so if I don't see anything soon I'll make a special trip!0 -

I LOVE the taste of stevia so maybe I would like these. Funny this flavor seems like a flop because it had so much potential. They could of gave it a really yummy buttery maple flavor. (I am imaging the flavor of those maple candies if you've ever had them)1 -
These probably seem like weird products to be obsessed with but lately it's been bee pollen and maca powder for me. I'm really into eating whole foods and finding foods that will help my body holistically. They both have so many insane benefits that balance out hormones, improve skin, boost immunity, provide natural energy, fight illness, help improve gut health. I'm ALLLLL about it.1

While they had the one I was most excited to try, unfortunately, one of the flavors they had (of course) was my least favorite, green tea mochi. I love mochi, I hate green tea. Reviews said it didn't taste like green tea so I said heck with it and threw it in my cart. The other was the pancakes & waffle, which I just noticed you all gave poor reviews on so I'll try it tomorrow but I'm pretty optimistic since I'm obsessed with pancakes.
Green tea mochi:
Probably because my hatred for green tea is so strong I do notice the green tea flavor at first, but it's very subtle and my taste buds are confused and picking up more of what tastes like lime? The more I eat it, the more it definitely tastes like Dannon's light & fit artificial key lime greek yogurt and the less I taste the tea. The mochi is a fun addition.
I didn't throw out the pint like I expected I would, but it's not something I would get again (OK, I would, but not nearly as often as the other flavors) since I'm not a huge lime person and the green tea flavor is in the back of my mind. Still, it was sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and I'm impressed. Impressed and so indecisive about how I feel. Finishing a pint of what I thought I'd vomit over is a great start for these new flavors as far as I'm concerned! Just wish the exotic flavor they would have brought about was taro or purple ube/purple yam, but beggars can't be choosers. At least it wasn't chai.
I'm glad you didn't hate it! I loved pancakes and waffles!
I tried pancakes and waffles and it tastes like alcohol to me! It was like bourbon ice cream to me....which isn't necessarily a bad thing haha. I also tried cinnamon roll last night and THAT ONE IS on point!!! Might be my new favorite flavor. Also noticed those pints not being as rock hard as the original flavors. I didn't even have to let them sit out.
Oh gosh, I really should start trusting some of you more. I LOVE pancakes but I agree, this pancakes & waffle pint has some serious aftertaste going on. I don't drink alcohol too much so I can't tell if it would be similar to bourbon ice cream, but I can definitely say that they used too much stevia (I've tried making lower calorie desserts and have this same off-putting bitter flavor when I use too much powdered stevia extract). I never once thought in a million years I'd end up liking the green tea mochi flavor more than their pancakes & waffle flavor! Honestly though I probably won't get either one again. Much higher hopes for the caramel macchiato, candy bar, pumpkin pie, and cinnamon roll flavors! So glad I desperately paid $5 for this one pint before it went on sale since I would have ended up being stuck with at least 5 of these assuming I'd love it.
If nothing else, as you've mentioned, at least they aced the texture! No thawing at all and it was perfect consistency to eat - that's a first!
Since we have similar taste buds I think you'll definitely like the cinnamon roll and also candy bar is amazing as well! Since you liked green tea mochi, maybe I'll give it a try. I didn't bother buying it because I assumed it wouldn't be sweet at all.1
