    Those cookies look so chunky and munch-worthy. Maybe my daughter in Damascus, MD will send me a care package.

    FYI!!! Costco changed the formula on their Kirkland brand protein bars! they are awful now!

    Oh no. The Kirkland Cookie dough are one of my favorites. How do you know they changed them? I haven't finished my last stock pile yet.

    Changed to soluble corn fiber. Net carbs are now 10grams per bar and the texture and taste are way different

    Ew just like quest did.

    Did the calories change at all from 190? I can't find an updated nutrition label online anywhere.

    Making ice cream... anyone from Maryland will know what’s up ;) anyone not in Maryland... if you ever pass through make sure you pick up Berger Cookies! 👏

    ...Are you making cookies and cream ice cream with, like, GIANT chunks of cookie? :o<3

    Yes! Berger cookies though, they’re so unique and different from every cookie out there, definitely a must try at some point in your life! It hardened up the next day and was to die for haha tempts me to give up everything I own and start an ice cream business, I’d make all the underrepresented flavors like berger cookie, pistachio, cotton candy, butterscotch and taro 😅

    I’ve also noticed a formula change with Smart Sweets Sweet Fish, so disappointing. I used to LOVE them but now they’re more calories and not even as good. Such a weird aftertaste now imo

    ^they do look yummy...nice that they don't contain the typical canola oil, and/or safflower oil and/or sunflower oil...but yes - a few chips=calories galore

    I had all three! I think I posted here. The peanut butter cookie dough was the best.

    I noticed all the cookie dough at the store now advertises itself as "safe to eat right from the package." While part of me feels like this is one more step on our society's dietary race to the bottom, it's also good to prevent salmonella since people were eating it out of the package either way. I did not buy it, because that's one of those things that it is very easy to eat too much of. In fact, since it probably doesn't stay good for that long after you open it, you probably have to eat too much of it to not waste it (12 serving sizes at 170 calories each in a package). If they made smaller packages or individual serving sizes of it or something, then I would probably buy it.

    Oh, so THAT'S why the last Quest bar I had was so gross.

    These are good. Super small (excuse my old wrinkly looking hand for size reference :D ) but the whole bag is only 300 calories. Really good banana flavor. Center reminds me a little of a built bar but a lot denser. Doesn’t have the “bite” I usually like from dark chocolate and taste more banana than chocolate.

    Outer chocolate layer is really thin would have liked it to be a little thicker. Still really yummy. They would be amazing dipped in peanut butter. Sweet but not super sweet like an all chocolate truffle. 3hsi6v8vdh6u.jpeg

    These sound awesome! I'll be on the lookout for them and hopefully they will offer some deals.

    Personally, I HATE black licorice and find it absolutely abhorrent. People like my mom for whatever reason love it, so maybe I’ll get it for her and report back if I find it xD
    I can’t remember if I shared these or not, but apparently Icelanders love licorice and seeing this was a MASSIVE culture shock to me...

    Not a fan of black licorice either. I really don’t like any licorice jelly beans or any type of gummy candy. I did as a kid though.

    Licorice and peach rings are really the only "gummy" candy I like... on occasion
