Arctic Zero had a $3 off 2 pints deal on Ibotta at Walmart so I picked up the Cherry Chocolate Chunk pint to try after being blown away by the Peanut Butter Swirl chunky pint. Unfortunately, I did not like it enough to repurchase (especially for the $4-5 price which never really goes on sale around me). Fortunately, it was still a lot better than the original flavors I remembered so it won't go to waste.
I love Enlightened's Cherry flavor since it's very creamy and flavorful, but I don't like Halo Top's because I find it more icy and sort of bland. That's how this pint started - icy and bland. However, the more I dug down into it the more and more I found pieces of chocolate and cherries and texture became less of an issue. If I had to choose, I actually think I would buy this over Halo Top's cherry flavor because it had so many more mix-ins! That being said, I probably won't buy either brand's cherry flavor period.
Arctic Zero's Peanut Butter Swirl is still my favorite and the only one I recommend. I have yet to try Rocky Road, but I can't even find it so if there's any brave souls out there let me know what you think of it! I'll hand it to Arctic Zero, they're making real improvement, but they still have a little ways to go with flavors like this one. Maybe I'm bias though with comparing them to dairy based ice creams since AZ claims it's lactose free, that problem runs in my family and I'm praying i get a few more years in before it strikes me too haha! Also, I should probably mention I'm not normally a huge cherry ice cream person. Why choose a cherry dessert to indulge in when there's more forbidden flavors? I never understood the whole fruit for dessert thing.
5/5 for a chocolate cherry sorbet, 2.5/5 for a chocolate cherry ice cream.

Cracker Barrel released their new fall items today and those pumpkin pancakes are calling my name! I just discovered how delicious Cracker Barrel is several months ago and I've only been three times, has anyone tried these pumpkin pancakes if they've been around before? I would go out today but I can't find their nutritional information anywhere and quite honestly I don't trust myself around them unless I'm holding myself accountable for every bite XD


I'm also looking forward to trying Dunkin's new maple pecan Cold Brew that came out today, too! I have all these things saved on my phone haha

@hgycta Heres the info on the new law! I thought it might be interesting to post. I'm glad this has become a new law.
According to the FDA:


"In addition, covered establishments will also be required to post a statement on menus and menu boards about the availability of such additional written nutrition information. To be covered, an establishment must be a restaurant or similar retail food establishment, as defined in the final rule. In addition, such establishment must: (1) be part of a chain of 20 or more locations, (2) doing business under the same name, (3) offering for sale substantially the same menu items."

Examples of restaurant-type foods that are covered when sold by a facility that is part of a chain with 20 or more locations include:

Meals from sit-down restaurants
Foods purchased at drive-through windows
Take-out food, such as pizza
Foods, such as made-to-order sandwiches, ordered from a menu or menu board at a grocery store or delicatessen
Foods you serve yourself from a salad or hot food bar
Muffins at a bakery or coffee shop
Popcorn purchased at a movie theater or amusement park
A scoop of ice cream, milk shake or sundae from an ice cream store
Hot dogs or frozen drinks prepared on site in a convenience or warehouse store
Certain alcoholic beverages

Does cracker barrel have enough locations?

WOW thank you for that information, I've always been curious about the law and heard mixed things!!! When did it go into effect anyways? When I contacted Shoprite about the calories in their fudge they said they had it available but due to a delay in the FDA passing this law they had some time still before they had to publish it publicly...

I'm sure Cracker Barrel has well more than 20 locations, they're just about on every stop whenever I take road trips!
If you go to their menu there's a link to their Nutrition Guide, it's just killing me waiting for the seasonal foods to be added to it so I wasn't sure if these pancakes were out last year if someone happened to know how many calories they were or not (or even if they're delicious enough to waste my time on).
