WHAT? I need this, like yesterday.
I bought this yesterday. Haven't tried yet, but I hope it's good!
As always, I'm afraid to ask. Calorie count? Serving size?
haha 2 servings in package, 130 grams per serving and 450 calories per serving! So yeah....2 -
Honestly I’m not crazy about the Key Lime Halo Top. It’s too sour, tart, and reminds me more of sorbet than it does ice cream. I’m sure people who are huge fans of sorbet or Key Lime will like it, but I kind of regret buying two pints of it when I could’ve gotten an extra salted caramel or lemon cake instead.
Awww I love anything sour and tart, that's why I loved it. Too bad you didn't like it!0 -
Thank you for those who posted about the satisbite amazon info and candy pop I should be getting my samples3

I tried it last night. It was OK, but definitely not my favorite. I'd rather have PB&J.2 -

Based on what people say about peanut butter, my guess is the sad volume to calorie ratio.0 -

I had gathered some packaged mixes in the past several weeks which I never bothered to make because I forgot and/or the calorie count was so high when made according to the instructions that I just didn't want to make it. Doing this, I rediscovered the versatility of Greek yogurt and learned that I am okay with omitting oil/butter. I Googled around beforehand and then tested everything out.
Products & Results:
1. Manischewitz - Extra Moist Chocolate Cake Mix with Fudge Frosting
I. I left out the tablespoons of oil from both the frosting and batter mix, and the cake was still quite moist and delicious. I accidentally used too much water for the frosting which is why it looks a little runny.
2. Trader Joe's - Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix
II. I substituted 57 g (~1/4 cup) of plain Greek yogurt for 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil and added a bit more water than recommended until the consistency looked/felt right. The muffin/bread/cake I got out of it was pleasantly dense and good. I'm so sad I can't buy anymore until Fall comes around again!
3. Cracker Barrel - Oven Baked Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Sharp Cheddar Flavor
III. I left out the oil and noticed no difference from regular boxed mac & cheese brands that only require a cheese sauce packet.
4. Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
IV. I replaced the 1/2 cup of butter with 100 g of plain Greek yogurt and ~2 tbsp of water. I was warned ahead of time that with yogurt, cookies become more cake-like in texture, but I didn't mind it at all.
To reiterate, maybe I'm just not picky enough, but I realize that substitutions/omissions mean little to me. The quality vs calorie savings suits me well, and I'm going to continue on this way.8 -

Huamei or Plum Wah Mui (they go by different names) These aren't new to me, but I haven't had any in a long time and my beloved hubby just brought in a big bag of them and I'm thrilled. These are definitely an "acquired taste", (they taste super salty/sweet/savory/sour and YUMMY) but honey...once you acquire the taste, they will become such a treat to indulge in every once and while!
The traditional huamei were basically dried and salted plums, scented with licorice and sometimes other ingredients like: lemon juice, aniseed, cloves or cinnamon.

I don’t know, I like sickeningly sweet desserts so I’m actually really tempted if it wasn’t for the price haha xD
So I went into Aldi’s for those peanut butter and salted caramel low calorie ice cream pints, and ended up splurging on cute little ice cream cups (only 100 calories each) and orange push pops (80 calories)! I didn’t know they sold all that, it brought me back to my childhood haha but of course I forgot a quarter and a bag so I was limited to how much my arms could hold
Also saw this and a black cherry one which both looked really good, but like I said I couldn’t hold any more lol, it said like 130 calories though per cup which I find REALLY hard to believe o.o
