I just had some halo top tonight and thank goodness for it. Pms ice cream cravings hit like a truck but I ate half the pint and was satisfied. I tried cookies and cream but birthday cake is the real winner of the flavors I've tried. Soooo good. Tastes like frosting and dreams.

I keep reading the tastes like frosting thing about the birthday cake flavour. It tasted like plain vanilla to me.. Maybe i got a dud tub??

It tasted like cake batter to me... Like licking the spoon. Yummy

I'm still trying to locate it. No one in my area seems to carry it. I sort of DIY a soft serve instead by putting frozen strawberries, some vanilla, and a little milk in the food processor. Sometimes I use a banana for part of it instead.... Halo Top seems very popular, IDK why no one here has it!

@Chef_Barbell I take it back!!! I just bought another tub of Birthday cake, and it does taste like cake batter I must have had an odd tub last time, cos this one tastes sooo much better.

Whatever it is, I agree, is a small gift from heaven!

Would try but it's not sold in my part of Canada and the price is likely comparable to B&J's.

I'm driving to Bellingham Wednesday:)

Haha I did that on Tuesday. They are on sale at Fred Meyer for $3.50 each and there is a catalina coupon that saves you $2 when you buy 2. I got one of each flavour and so far have only tasted the cookie dough....it's amazing, unlike any other cookie dough ice cream I've ever had.

GUYS. It's on sale at Whole Foods this week!! Just FYI

The stuff is gross and expensive and artificial sweetener is horrible for you. Eat some real ice cream and exercise.

Halo top uses erythritol, which was shown clinically to be safe for consumption at high dose and frequency (daily). Like anything it's fine in moderation. So I say eat halo top and exercise. ☺️

somehow at my friends kroger they were on sale for 1$ a piece. so 35 pints later, this happened:

@Christine_72 well i am sitting here eating halo top ice cream for the first time. Birthday Cake flavour was the only one they had left. Its pretty nice! Don't know if i will make it a regular purchase though considering one tub is $10! But I will still try each flavour out of curiousity once.

Thanks for the update I didnt think much of the Birthday Cake flavour, it tasted like plain vanilla ice cream to me, a tad boring. I'm sticking with chocolate until they bring the peanut butter cup flavour here, hopefully one day..

@Christine_72 i am seeing halo ice cream in more and more shops! Its exciting. Tried the mint chip and chocolate too. I have a tip for you: at one point, I ate some of the halo top chocolate ice cream when it was slightly melted and to me it tasted EXACTLY like Soleil chocolate diet mousse. So if you like the chocolate halo top ice cream i think you will like the soleil diet mousse too and its much cheaper.
Though I did see the halo top ice cream on sale for $7 at Woolworths the other week which I thought was pretty good.

Tried it.. didn't like it. Then, I just ate it as a low-cal alternative, but I wouldn't recommend it as an ice cream substitute. Just buy ice cream.

I've been a fan of the salted caramel but I bought a peanut butter cup yesterday and omg yas. I left it in my car accidentally for a half hour and now I get why it says to let it thaw a lot before eating. Holy crap it was good. Ate the whole thing. No ragrets.

The PB Cup tastes legit like a malt cup with Reese's PB swirl. LOVE.

It is interesting to me, how many of you say that you buy a pint and then you eat the entire thing. The most prominent sweetener in this is erythritol. It is not really good stuff. And, one of the bad things about it, is that it keeps your brain from registering satiation, so you just keep eating it. It is also known to cause gastric problems like diarrhea constipation and bloating, and also can cause headaches. Just be cautious, OK?

I've never eaten a whole pint at once, the $12 price tag per tub stops that.. Plus 200g is pleny enough for me.

As for the stomach issues. I have a cast iron gut, nothing gives me a dodgy tummy.

Haha these might be the exception... I don't think even the sturdiest of stomachs would come out unscathed after eating those things. I certainly wont be putting them to the test

Cookie Dough! Hands down!

I tried Halo Top for the first time, it was okay, paid $6 for 300 calories just to find out if it was worth it, I think 300 calories of regular ice cream ( about a cupful) is more economical, taste better and makes more sense to consume.
