How do you guys keep your macros down for sugar intake when you eat these desserts? For example a serving of that ice cream and the cake would put you over wouldn't it?

If you have a daily goal for macros, you drop it on the day of a cheat and enjoy.

On a normal day you can easily fit it in a modest amount of treats.

Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Brownie-Ale:

Invalid Link Removed

Ben & Jerry's have really upped their game and mix-ins in 2015 when they have released other flavors like PB Half Baked, Tonight Dough, and PB Brownie Sundae. New Belgium Salted caramel Brown-ie Ale threw me off at first, but made be a believer. This ice cream was awesome. Tons of mix-ins, and a great salted caramel brown ale base. If you are not a drinker, do not pass this right away. Give this a shot, it may surprise you with how well the slight addition of the booze after taste can be on top of delicious brownies and a caramel swirl.

Grade: A-
 
These are another pick up if you're interested.

They taste like legit sugarcookies but I will say that they have a strong vanilla taste to go along with that. I will say however I was disappointed in the presentation.


They have red and green specs baked into them. I would have preferred some powdered red and green sugar to mimic a real sugar cookie but that and the servings\box was my only complaints.



At 100 calories/serving and pretty good macros as far as cereals go, I will pick them up again as a treat.

If you get to a Kroger at some point, pick up the store brand peanutbutter Cookie Crisp (forget what it's called... Maybe like pb chip mates or something). It's incredible. Better than og as its pb cookies with choc chips in them. All the goodness of the og plus strong pb flavor

Milk Chocolate Cafe Mocha M&M’s

"Don’t get me wrong, they’re pretty good, but I think they should have had more coffee flavor. If you’ve ever had a chocolate covered espresso bean, the taste is similar. These don’t pack as much flavor intensity as any chocolate espresso bean I’ve had, but they’re definitely in the ballpark."

Rating: 6 out of 10

Pros: Better than plain M&M’s. Flavor is similar to chocolate espresso beans. Decent seasonal candy option.

Cons: Coffee/espresso flavor isn’t strong enough. There are better M&M’s choices. Bag doesn’t smell like fresh coffee beans. Raisins.

I'm with you there but they were still good. Unfortunately the Christmas captain crunch was ****. I was expecting a different flavor but NOPE!

THEY REELED ME IN WITH HOLIDAY SPIRIT AND CRUSHED MY DREAMS WITH A RESHAPE OF ****ING BERRIES!

LITERALLY IT WAS CAPTIN CRUNCH WITH BERRIES BUT THEY WERE TREES!

I even taste tested the berries vs the trees. They are the exact same thing just reshaped into trees. ****ing lies.

They should have made them sugar cookie flavored or something.


Oh man,so ****ing heated.

I should have expected it.

I will say the Ben and Jerry's pumpkin cheesecake was amazing and I'm picking up more.
 
I thought it was mediocre for a pumpkin ice cream
Turkey hill, Talenti, Jeni's, Coldstone, and Handels were all much better in taste/flavor and mix-ins.

Get you some Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch. Good stuff.

I had the pumpkin ripple Handel's and was pretty fuss appointed with it. I thought Talenti & Turkey Hill were better. I may give BnJ pumpkin cheesecake a try too.

Disagreed. I really enjoyed the b&j pumpkin cheesecake. It's not super sweet but plenty of pumpkin. The cheesecake chunks were awesome too

From the description:

Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream with a Graham Cracker Swirl
We took the great taste of pumpkin cheesecake & gave it an ice cream upgrade, complete with a complementary graham cracker swirl, so it's more than just a great flavor: it's a first-class ticket to pumpkin wonderful.

Honestly my pint had little to no swirl, and the pumpkin was underwhelming in flavor. I had 0 chunks of cheesecake (nor do i recall any reviews stating that)

my TH Quart on the other hand. That swirl was ridiculous

Hmmmmaybe I had some graham chunks that I was thinking were like cheesecake crust... Mine had a pretty decent swirl to it that added a nice cheesy flavor to the semisweet pumpkin. Def not a super sweet flavor tho, you're right. I would rescoop tho for sure

If you want a very heavy Pumpkin spice --> Coldstone & Talenti go heavy same with Gelato Fiasco from what i heard
Handels = Very strong literally libby pumpkin pie as the base with a nice nutmeg/cinnamon after taste
Jeni's is very heavy on pumpkin spice with a small pumpkin base, but the cookies in the base = hnnggg
 
Both of these things have potential. For those that have purchased Stop and Shop seasonal items before, are they worth it? I hardly go to Stop and Shop since their sales are terrible in comparison to another store near me.

We went to Andy's Frozen Custard for a dessert treat last night after going out for dinner. I had never ever been there and it was hands down the best I have ever had. Blows Cold Stone creamery out of the water. I ordered the Ozark Turtle Sundae and ate the entire thing in about 5 minutes. My fiance bought a pint of their seasonal Candy Cane concrete to put in the freezer.

Never had this. How is the balance of flavors between the chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow?

It's good stuff. Honestly it's not distinct flavors of any... Just kind of imagine them all mishmashed together and that's it... Not all that diff from cellucor s'mores protein. Worth a try
 
Yay or nay?

Thanks Boone and Bob. I'll be on the lookout. I need to stat eating some of my cereal stash though. I have too much right now!

Not a candy bar guy, especially chcocolate, but I love nuts and these look amazing.

Item: Snickers Crisper
Purchased Price: $3.48
Size: 10.61 oz. bag
Purchased at: Walmart
Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: It’s still basically a Snickers. Addictive. Delicious caramel. Rice crisps add a nice texture. Kudos nostalgia.
Cons: Has a texture and taste that’s more like a granola bar than candy bar. Passing out. Jaw workouts.
