The epic food porn thread

The cookies are great. Would you say the Fiber One bars are worth the pickup if one can get them on sale?

Tough call with all the other pumpkin stuff around lol. Maybe 6.5-7 / 10 at best...
I'd rather have TJ pumpkin macaroons for the same cals (90 x 6 servings).
 
These first things look epic, absolutely great. Turtles are one of my favorite chocolate candies. The flavors and descriptions also sound great.

The Turtle Sundae Mix has chocolate covered caramel bits, vanilla yogurt covered peanuts, pecan, salted caramel flavored peanuts, and chocolate covered peanuts. The Banana Sundae Mix has honey roasted peanuts, chocolate covered peanuts, vanilla yogurt covered peanuts, strawberry flavored yogurt covered peanuts, and banana chips flavored covered peanuts…oh wait. Sorry. Muscle memory. Just banana chips, not banana chips flavored covered peanuts. Finally, the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Mix has oatmeal flavor covered raisins, yogurt and graham covered raisins, cinnamon toasted almonds, pecans, and more raisins. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

I saw the next picture on their website last week. I had no idea they were new, I thought they had been out for a while. Anyways, there are several different flavor profiles and options.

Junk Food guy says "probably one of my favorite new pumpkin items on the market now". Good enough for me! Found at Fresh Market.

Btw, The Solution FM also has pumpkin flavoured coffee if TJ is out when you hit up CBus.

REVIEW: Nabisco Limited Edition Toasted Coconut Oreo Cookies

Invalid Link Removed

Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: All the goodness of Golden Oreo Cookies. Fun creme texture. Cookie kaiju. The under-appreciated genius of PB&J Oreo Cookies.
Cons: Little reason to buy them over Golden Oreo. Only a ghost of coconut toast. Non-luau limbos. The inevitability of nacho cheese-flavored Oreo.
 
^^ glad I didn't see the toasted coconut cuz I totally would have bought them ha
 
The Solution said:
Nothing crazy, very weak marshmallow taste, prob just like the Coconut above. Regular golden shell and lackluster flavor.

The idea for pb&j LE oreos from the toasted coconut review was actually not bad lol.

Just like all the other Oreos that try to
Combine flavors one overpowers the other think Smores you got almost no marshmallow and all chocolate . Oreos are hit or miss with good flavoring and why a lot of the LE have been let downs
Another example:
Pumpkin ones lack pumpkin flavor and mostly spice and it's not strong

Boo! Going to crush the pumpkin Oreos in some pumpkin sundaes and PP sludge bowls and see if that helps.

Brownie batter was pretty boring IMO. really just too similar to chocolate.

Reeses, Bday cake, and pumpkin were all better.
 
GNO said:
You try marshmallow crispy?
Heard that one was good...

They were good, but marshamallow really isn't that diff than the regualr creme. If oyu like golden, youll like, not really worth the effort to find them over the reg tho.

I think comparing them to smores isn't a fair comparison... marshamallow (especially in that small qty) just isnt ever that strong of a flavor. Choc will always overpower it.

PB and Jelly can both be pretty strong, even in small amounts. If you did a 50/50 reeses pb + medium falvored jelly with a golden (or maybe better yet the graham) cookie, I think these would be spectacular.

I think I might even do some frankenoreo work here and make my own...

thats what i have been doing with the puffins.
Pumpkin Pie Yogurt + Pumpkin Pie MTS Whey + Pumpkin
Pumpkin Puffins + Pumpkin O's + Pumpkin Spice Mini-Wheats

works like a charm.

thats the problem. All the oreo's that combine flavors usually something overpowers another
Same with ice cream, Many times you get mix-ins or compliments that overpower another
Could say the same with Cereals and Pumpkin based cereal's. Sometimes you get no pumpkin and all spice, sometimes you get pumpkin and no spice. Can't win em all :(

Ben & Jerry PB Jam Session. Mostly all Jam Swirl and minimal PB, for those who want PB they are let down.
 
It's sad that the regular PB Oreos suck (I gave them another try last night), or else you could just dip them in jelly! They still have Reeses Oreo mini's, but the cookie overpowers the cream IMO

Just got the pecan pie going to try soon. Had the Pumpkin ones last year.. But my kcals are not gifted like yours . since you eat over 1000+more kcals than me.

At first taste they were just ok, but as I kept eating throughout the week they grew on me A LOT. The flavor isn't crazy strong but very unique.

Exactly what happened to me with the candy corn M&Ms. At first I thought they were too sweet (which is crazy, because I LOVE sweetness), but I've grown to really like them.

Hershey candy corn chocolate bar is a must pick up if you like candy corn
The white chocolate and sweet combo of the candy corn is on point

Not a huge candy corn guy, but love white chocolate since I was a young chubby kid.

Search has been fruitless so far.

10 bars are a lot if it sucks lol.

I wasn't blown away by the Archer Farms Pumpkin biscotti or Pumpkin Fiber one bars. Trying to "share" with the fam lol.

They will eat stuff like that because they think it is healthier than other stuff like Oreos. Same deal with tubs of frozen yogurt, overall it is not "healthier" if you end up eating more because you are duped by the lower calorie per serving lol.
 
Graeter's Black Cherry Chocolate Chip

Graeter's hasn't incorporated any of the natural tartness of actual cherries; only their sweetness. Although this base will not top Black Raspberry, it's not very far behind either. Picture taking the jam of a cherry and infusing it into a very rich & sweet cherry flavored, base and that is what Graeter's offers in Black Cherry Chocolate Chip. Combine this great base with their signature chocolate chips and you have another classic offering on the Graeter's line. While the base does not top Black Raspberry in my opinion this is something you should consider scooping. Even coming from a guy who is not a massive cherry fan this was a great change of pace.

Grade: B+

I've had other flavors of those Sunbelt Bakery bats. They are very good. A little small, but good.

So glad I saw this review earlier today. I was going to look for them once I got out of the hospital since I love coconut, but not a fan of Oreos.

I assume it might be location dependent no?

I will be back in the US a couple of times most likely in the next 2-3 weeks ... MI & Buffalo.

Walgreen's has a plethora of seasonal candy. All locations do I have noticed.
