    Dunkin Donuts has heard my crying out for more cotton candy flavored things. Please please please let this be the beginning of a beautiful trend that other companies try and steal.

    Speaking of cotton candy, have you tried the cotton candy blizzard at Dairy Queen? Im not sure if its a new thing but it was to me. I like cotton candy okay, but this blizzard was pretty good. I got a mini and it was all i could eat of that flavor it was that sweet. For the record, i got 3 minis that day because i couldnt make up my mind on which one i wanted.

    Mint crunch m&ms are delicious

    I tried the espresso ones and I was really disappointed... weird aftertaste that didn't really taste like coffee to me.

    I love the coffee nut ones though!

    That's just sad. I thought Dairy Queens were everywhere. Well, if you find yourself near one, check it out.

    I went to Target for more Monster caffe energy drinks and as I was passing the ice cream I noticed THEY SELL THE COOKIES & CREAM ENLIGHTENED NOW. Not even a week ago my store didn’t have ANY enlightened ice cream!
    Oh... my... goodness.
    Chocolate peanut butter has been my favorite for as long as I can remember but now it’s my second favorite, this one is my favorite now without a doubt. It tastes just like the homemade cookies & cream ice cream my family makes with double stuffed Oreos. I love that it actually has that CREAM aspect instead of just the cookie pieces. Not at all bland, and way sweeter than I expected. It definitely does NOT taste low calorie. Definitely one I’ll be stocking up on like crazy the second I find it on sale. If their other new flavors are this good I’m doomed.

    So glad you finally got a new flavor! Isn’t it the best? I just had another pint of this Thursday night, and I liked it even more than the first time.

    Enlightened Ice Cream is bomb. I've tried four flavors so far and loved them all. Marshmallow Peanut Butter was one of them, and I agree -- the marshmallow taste does disappear the more you eat it, lol. I guess our tongue goes numb to the flavor? The peanut butter is very nice indeed. I doubt I'll ever go back to Halo Top. It's so icy and chemical tasting. I tried some of the new Arctic Zero flavors, and while I like them better than the old formulas, it still doesn't top Enlightened for me.

    Has anyone seen No Pudge Brownie Mix in stores? I had it over ten years ago and suddenly remembered how great it was, lol. Fudgy, low cal brownies! But I can't seem to find it in stores anymore!

    Not sure how new these are but I just saw them for the first time today. If you like pizza crust then these are delicious. I’m already dreaming of a dip to pair them with. There was also a second flavor at my store which was garlic and oregano and I plan to try that one next.

    I think the flavor isn’t strong enough when I stop tasting it 1/3 of the way through. I had a peanut butter chocolate chip pint the other night, and it’s still my top flavor because I can taste the peanut butter flavor ALL THE WAY through. I remember the no pudge mix! I think Trader Joe’s reduced guilt brownie mix, if they still make it, was very similar if not identical. Made with yogurt right?

    These are amazing. We have been buying them for a few years but I stopped. But I’ll have to remember this the next time I have a pizza craving

    Buy one get one free coupon for enlightened: http://go.eatenlightened.com/april-bogo?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=62066486&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--b1OpvWU9vhE9tpQ2SpJ3CfBc8-1vjRw0Yx4bx1qNDGE61byeJpMj5VZY4InC7vh6PiczW24HpOrKZVqYolNhB2DKp4Q&_hsmi=62066486

    Also, I figured a lot of you here are probably coffee drinkers. I've been wanting to try Death Wish coffee, has anyone here tried it? I read somewhere it has around 700mg of caffeine per cup but I have a hard time believing it. My brother talked me into spending a little over $20 on a bag of Kimera Koffee recently (which is supposed to be extremely good with nootropics), but honestly after drinking two cups today I hardly notice a difference... it doesn't even taste that great....

    I really like Death Wish coffee. Caffeine doesn't effect me very much at all so I can only evaluate it from a taste perspective. I would buy it regularly if it wasn't so pricey.

    I finally was able to try the Enlightened pints. The only place near my side of the city that carries them is Whole Foods, which I generally avoid because of how expensive it is. I bit the bullet yesterday though, because I had the free coupon for a pint of Slim Twin (and, of course, WF is the only place to get them).

    I decided to try the cold brew coffee flavor since that's probably my favorite flavor of ice cream. You can definitely taste the erythritol in it, but it wasn't so overwhelming as to cause me not to enjoy it. In fact, I like it much better than any light ice cream I've tried thus far. I ate the pint last night, and I'll probably hit up WF every once in a while for a treat (at $4.50/pint I really can't justify buying it often).

    I went for cookies & cream on the Slim Twin. It's not nearly as creamy as the Enlightened, and I found the monk fruit flavor a little off-putting. I'll finish the pint, because the multitudinous cookie pieces make it worth it for me, but I wouldn't go back for another.

    That’s a shame it wasn’t as creamy, I’ve been dying to try Slim Twin but there’s no Whole Foods anywhere near me whatsoever :/ did it taste more like cookies or more like its cream? I can overlook texture if the flavor is really good and has any chunks of cream....

    I went to Shoprite and noticed this ice cream, has anyone tried it? I was a little tempted, but for that price I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend the money (and calories) trying it....

    I did find some new Enlightened flavors! Movie night and French toast - I can’t wait to try them! I might go for movie night first since everyone here seems more impressed with it!

    Additionally, I found the last flavor left of Monster’s caffe lineup. It’s my least favorite, kind of tastes fake and not nearly as satisfying as the salted caramel or vanilla. Vanilla is exceptional, salted caramel is really good, and this one was bleh.

    I don’t know how many of you have been following the whole new ruby chocolate thing, but it’s supposedly a new type of chocolate sold exclusively in Japan... and eBay.
    I bought one for $15 (I’m ashamed, yes), and while I enjoyed it, it’s definitely not something I’ll get again (even if it were regular price). It’s tart and fruity but reminds me of yogurt, not chocolate. I don’t recommend anyone here spend their money on custom ordering it (although to be honest, I’m probably the only person here who would resort to that).

    I spent $18 on 2 packages of the elusive Girl Scout Trios cookies on ebay.

    @hgycta I only ate a few bites of it yesterday since I liked the Enlightened much more. I didn't notice any chunks of cream, mainly chunks of cookie. It tasted a lot like cookie, which, for me, is a good thing, because the vanilla ice cream had a definitely aftertaste from the sweeteners. I'll have to let you know once I've had a chance to eat more than a few bites though. I think I'll try thawing it more too, just to get rid of the bit of iciness that it has.

    It looks just like my pint of Cookies & Cream Breyer's Delights honestly xD

    I've tried Coolhaus before - the molten chocolate flavor and one with a S'mores flavor. Honestly, it tasted fine but not worth the calories in my opinion. It's a better quality than something like Breyer's but not as good as Häagen-Dazs. It was worth trying once, but I wouldn't get the brand again. That might vary depending on different flavors, though.
