    Snackwell’s “improved” their recipe... no longer fat free.

    Would be curious to try!!

    I don't know why this bothers me. lol My mom used to get these when we were kids. I haven't had them since. Anything would be an improvement, but I guess I just don't like change. :D

    I don't know if these are new or not, but I picked them up at CVS. I'm surprised how good they are. There's a lot of coating around each almond and they taste sort of like a strawberry shortcake/cheesecake mixed.

    It's just so SAD- that woo button is even on here- If they don't like the food item they can just leave the post alone- or just not respond(sigh)

    Who cares if someone “woo’s” a comment! Trolls will be trolls. Such is life. Enjoy your foods people!

    Who woos someone's choice in snack? It's a low calorie/high volume food I enjoy. Oh boy.

    Go steal someone else's joy, you absolute egg.

    For what it's worth, I think the crackers sound interesting, and I'm also going to start insulting people by calling them eggs :)

    Ordered a sampler pack of Built Bars after seeing all the reviews; I tried the double chocolate mousse one today and I’m very mixed. I’ve noticed I’m more of a texture person than a taste person, which makes me like these (the texture, to me, is a lot like a dark chocolate 3 Musketeers bar), but the taste isn’t great at all. Very artificial, but I suppose for only being 110 calories it’s better than it could be. I won’t order them again, but I’ll be able to finish the box no problem.
    On a side note, if you guys like the texture of these Built Bars you’d love those chatila’s bakery chocolate e’toiles! Very similar texture especially in the microwave for 8-10 seconds, only the taste is a huge improvement on those!

    I keep them in the fridge. Don’t like them warm.

    Bought the mixed box first and discovered I liked coconut and raspberry best. I like the orange and strawberry too.

    I wanted to sarcastically woo your post, then realized maybe that's too much nuance for a forum platform.

    Doubly so if it comes with samples. o:)

    Also, the trader joe's ketchup flavored potato spud thingies are pretty darned good.

    I usually never get popcorn at the movies but this sounds delicious!

    Those almonds look good.

    Woah. I'm not even a nut person and those look delicious! And that popcorn always teases me at Regal, but I cave in to the regular buttered one every time! Apparently it's a cheese-flavored oil and Cheetos mixed in :)

    I'll include snack bags for my tenure review committee.

    Those ketchup chips are on my shopping list, but I haven't made it to TJ's in a week or two.

    Honestly, a lot of chocolate we've tried has been in the "meh" range recently: fine, not exciting, nothing we'd buy again. However, we were in Seattle a couple weeks ago and we toured Theo Chocolate. We got some scotch caramels, which I had mixed feelings about: I loved the two that were sweeter, fruity scotch, but the two earthy/smoky scotches weren't my thing. Unfortunately, these are only available at the Theo factory store.

    We were also at Ginger Elizabeth recently. They have a Sacramento location and a new one in San Francisco. Their brownies are exactly what I want a brownie to be: very dense and fudgy. I've had good results replicating it at home with their recipe, which I underbaked a little and then stuck in the fridge to firm up: https://gingerelizabeth.com/pages/ginger-elizabeth-fudge-brownies

    Their 43% dark milk chocolate bar is also very nice. I really like chocolate in this "dark milk" range (about 40-60%). https://gingerelizabeth.com/collections/snacks-and-jars/products/43-madagascar-couverture-chocolate-bar

    There's a foodie/recipe poster that shall remain nameless that seems to get a "woo" Every. Single. Post. It's like someone insists on a woo tax.

    Me? I embrace the woo. :o

    @apullum I'm right by Seattle vacationing, just asked my aunt about Theo's chocolate, and now we're all going to go check it out, she agrees they're awesome! This trip is bad for my diet, at least my Penzey's splurge is healthy! I'll have to see where George Elizabeth is located and see how close it is to home. The only decent chocolate I've had lately is a peanut butter bucket from Rocky Mountain about 2 months ago.

    Any Theo recommendations?

    Theo milk chocolate and their "standard" 70% bar are my favorites. But if you take the tour, you will get to sample all the flavors and choose your favorite :)

    Also check out the crumpet shop in Pike Place Market for breakfast if you're in that area. If you go early, they shouldn't be busy. Then, head downstairs to Indi Chocolate. Their chocolate chip cookies are excellent.

    Ginger Elizabeth in Sacramento is 3 or 4 blocks east of the state capitol.

    I’m local to the area you’re visiting. Frans is a much better chocolate place!

    I go to Ginger Elizabeth in Sacramento for just for their French Macaroons. I’m crazy about macaroons and those are some of the best I’ve ever had. They have traditional and out of the ordinary flavors.
