    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.
    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.

    now worse than quest IMO

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

    Quest bar changed the recipe years ago so only if you haven't had them in forever, haha.

    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.

    This could be amazingly good ... or gross. Please, someone else, try it and let me know. 😜

    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

    Yeah, I like black licorice myself. But I've had the Scandinavian salted black licorice (from Finland) and I was not impressed. That's why I thought the chocolate bar could go either way.

    ^^too funny - I thought you had plopped a huge amount of mustard on your noodles!

    This was on sale for .50 and now I know why. Yuck. Not good at all. The noodles were hard and chewy. The sauce barely tastes cheesy at all. The “bacon” flavor smelled like bacon flavored dog treats. It had small bits of “bacon” they had the texture of bacon flavored dog treats as well. Tastes like dog treats or what I imagine them to taste like lol. 0/10 would never get again and only had a few bites and tossed it. e2vjfw5t20bt.jpeg
