I can’t believe how bad they are with orders... especially something like buying because you want to try the new flavor. I hope customer service does something to make it up.
I recently tried the mango one. I know everyone has had on here but I haven’t. I really liked that one! Mango and chocolate pair well. I also noticed the banana chocolate ones are always a lot smaller than the others. I think my favorite are the caramel and the orange chocolate though.

That really sucks. I think some of us should email and make some suggestions on how to improve customer service.
My order is on its way. I don't really anticipate liking the pumpkin so, if I actually get them, I can send you some. Or send a couple anyway
I feel bad that my customer service communication has been really good so far! 4 -

I started following this guy on Instagram awhile ago cause his protein oatmeal bowls looked like works of art & now his cookie dough skillets he makes looks even better. The first link is his page of the products he makes to sell.0 -

Honestly the way customer service is and the issues people have had really has me thinking maybe they have their “ambassadors” sending out some of the orders to save labor costs.1 -

Even though I’m getting sick of seeing so many different edible cookie dough.. saw these. Nice size container and only 180 calories. I felt them and they felt hard though not soft so I’m thinking they might be more like a food bar than actual cookie dough. Anyone try this brand? I wanted to open the container to see what they look like LOL

A lot of people think "white" candy means "white chocolate"--so many that there is currently a lawsuit because some people feel mislead that such candies were not actually white chocolate: https://thetakeout.com/white-chocolate-fake-lawsuit-nestle-1838507196
If someone doesn't know much about chocolate and they see a "white" version of a candy that's normally...well, chocolate flavored at least...then I can see why they'd be confused. I don't think it's fair to make fun of them. I think the marketing is intentionally vague.
Anyway, that "Hershey's White" bar is not white chocolate. There is small print at the bottom that says "white creme." It is probably something like vanilla flavored vegetable fat.7 -
So I emailed Built and they got back to me super fast. Pumpkin bars are coming and I get to keep the other bars Glad they made it right. The peanut butter ones I received are pretty good! I don't see the peanut chunks everyone described, and it's not as peanut buttery as I would like, but it's really nice and does satisfy that peanut butter/chocolate craving. 6

Candy that’s just marketed as white may be vegetable fat with flavoring. It does not necessarily have any cocoa butter in it. White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, with sugar and milk added.7 -

Wow, I am embarrassed to say I am one of those people who always thinks white looking things that are normally chocolate is white chocolate, lol. Now I know why ACTUAL white chocolate from a specialty store tastes so much different. I am sure it is more expensive to use actual white chocolate which is why they always use the white "cream".8 -

I too am one of those people... not that I really care though, because yeah, things labeled as "white" are generally cheaper. So I don't feel like there is any harm done... Not like I'm being charged the same price for something that isn't authentic.1 -

I always assumed they were white chocolate too. Specialty store white chocolate is awesome, I used to buy a chunk of white chocolate from the bakery down the street with my allowance. Is it any wonder I'm on MFP as an adult!0 -

If by “chocolate” you mean “product made from cacao beans,” then yes. A cacao bean has two parts: cocoa butter and cocoa solids. White chocolate is made of cocoa butter without cocoa solids. What we think of as chocolate is made of the cocoa solids and usually some cocoa butter. Cheap brands may use vegetable fat in place of some or all of the cocoa butter.4 -

I found this at an asian grocery and its amazing for only 70 calories! It's a bit pricey at $1 a pop but totally worth it. I suggest this is anyone can find it in their area
That looks delightful. Did you find it at a local Asian grocery, or one of the big chains? We have several Asian grocery chains in the region, so if it's at one of those, I will definitely be picking it up next time I'm there.
I am pretty sure it is a local Cincinnati area Asian market called Cam International. This is not an Asian product though it is European if that helps. I am unsure of who else would carry it!1 -

I got these at cvs. I had the mushroom one and it was really good. It was comparable to those ichiban cups in size. I’m excited to try the rest of them.

The Nestle product is marketed as “white morsels” and its webpage doesn’t use the term “white chocolate” at all. That may be because white chocolate typically does contain milk products. It may also be because white chocolate usually does not contain things like tapioca starch that are in these chips. https://www.verybestbaking.com/products/11991/tollhouse/simply-delicious-white-morsels-by-nestle-toll-house

I sometimes used my allowance/babysitting money , when I was a kid, for White chocolate almond bark from Fannie Farmer.
When my DD was in high school, Nestle had seasonal Christmas Bells (small kiss sized) that were white with chopped almonds. Maybe they quit making them because of the controversy. They were really good.2 -

Wow, I am embarrassed to say I am one of those people who always thinks white looking things that are normally chocolate is white chocolate, lol. Now I know why ACTUAL white chocolate from a specialty store tastes so much different. I am sure it is more expensive to use actual white chocolate which is why they always use the white "cream".
I always assumed they were white chocolate too. Specialty store white chocolate is awesome, I used to buy a chunk of white chocolate from the bakery down the street with my allowance. Is it any wonder I'm on MFP as an adult!
Well, is actual white chocolate even considered true chocolate??
Nestle's has a new chip product that is called "Simply" There are dark, semi-sweet, and white chocolate chip. The "simply line is just 3-5 ingredients and ALL contain real chocolate, either solids or cocoa butter . There is NO MILK in the white chips.
The Nestle product is marketed as “white morsels” and its webpage doesn’t use the term “white chocolate” at all. That may be because white chocolate typically does contain milk products. It may also be because white chocolate usually does not contain things like tapioca starch that are in these chips. https://www.verybestbaking.com/products/11991/tollhouse/simply-delicious-white-morsels-by-nestle-toll-house
Edit: Here are some white chocolate chips that are marketed as such, so folks can see the difference.
Guittard: https://www.guittard.com/our-chocolate/detail/choc-au-lait-baking-chips (they are called "vanilla" on the website, but also called "white chocolate")

Nope, no professional experience in chocolate. I'm just a chocolate snob
