Ample HIlls The Commodore

There is a reason why this is a Vanderbilt exclusive flavor and has been a top seller on the Ample Hills line. Sweet, salty, and savory you name it this pint delivers it. If you are a fan of honey comb cereal, sweet nectar honey, and chocolate or potato chips you will be in heaven. Easily a pint I could rescoop and never get sick of. This has to be one of my favorite flavors off the Ample Hills lineup.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Pumpkins

DSC04140.JPG


Grade: A

These things are absolutely ridiculous. I was hesitant on grabbing them, but thank god I did. They are about 1” Thick, but they are chocolate cream filled pumpkin cookies and they have a mousse filling. Think about taking a moist chocolate cake and throwing it inside a pumpkin shaped cookie with layers of chocolate. These things are deadly good, and what is crazy these are only around 120 calories.

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Cookies

57367-petite-pumpkin-spice-cookies.jpg


The cookies are crispy and crunchy...and pack a lot of pumpkin spice flavor. In addition to fall spices, the cookies definitely have a yogurt pretzel quality, minus the salt. Good to have on hand when you're craving a little hit of pumpkin spice. Think about a yogurt coated pumpkin cookie, it just does not hav a whole lot of pumpkin spice going on. That's ok, but it still is a good cookie and worth the grab. These are small cookies, but delicious and very moist/soft.

Grade: B+

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Granola Bark

57805-org-pumpkin-spice-granola-bark.jpg

The crunchy granola is made with oats, almonds, quinoa, cornflakes, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin purée, Vermont maple syrup, coconut oil, and pumpkin season spices. It’s pressed flat and baked, then generously spread with rich dark chocolate (66% cacao), and topped with maple-sea salt-seasoned pumpkin seeds. If you ever had Cowboy bark this stuff is just as good if not better if you are a pumpkin fan. The chocolate coating at the bottom is a very rich and dark chocolate. For dark chocolate lovers this is a must. The granola is loaded with flavor that has a sweet aspect from the maple syrup, and then the savory aspect of all the pumpkin spices. You are hit with a lot of different flavors, but it meshes together really well. Its amazing how these are in the stores and off the shelves in 2 weeks. I see why, they are huge sellers.

Grade: A-


White Fudge Covered Oreo’s

Invalid Link Removed

Plain and simple – its just an Oreo cookie getting dumped on with white chocolate. While it may seem basic, it can go very well with the sweet cream center. The Cookies are pretty darn thick, and pack a punch of flavor. The White chocolate goes very well with the chocolate shell to give you the best of both worlds if you like white chocolate. Just picture a regular oreo dunked in white chocolate and then hardended. . The rich taste of white chocolate/fudge, sweet and creamy, which then mixed with the bitter taste of the chocolate cookie and the super sweet creme filling. It was sort of like eating an inside-out Oreo cookie, to be honest. It seems like the cream filling is a bit shy compared to a regular oreo, but the outside coating makes up for it. A must grab, and for only 100 calories its nothing to complain about.

Grade : A-


Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn.

Invalid Link Removed

The caramel corn texture is exactly as you would expect it to be. Very crispy , crunchy, and packs a lot of flavor. The pumpkin spice flavor is there, but it is not very strong. It's sweet more than spicy, and slightly more caramel than pumpkin, I'd say. Pumpkin seeds add a nice nuttiness to the product and blend well with the salty aspects of the corn. If you like Caramel corn its hard to really pick up on the amount of pumpkin and pumpin spices in here. You really get more of the caramel corn aspect with minimal hints of pumpkin. Even those who are not huge pumpkin fans should enjoy this product. Needs more pumpkin IMO

Grade: B

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin-y pumpkin bites


trader-joe-pumpkin-y-pumpkin-bites-4422.jpg


They taste like above-average pumpkin cookies. Lets not confused these with the Choolate/mouse layered pumpkin cookies though which were far superior. They're nice and soft, and the coating of brown sugar and spices on the top gives them just a hint of a firmer, almost crunchy texture. They combine the elements of pumpkin flakes, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spices to give you a tri-fecta of flavors. These are good if you like very soft pumpkin bites, but could use some more flavor in each and every bite. Some of these tasted a bit stale in the flavor, which was a bit of a turnoff. They are not bad, but nothing to write home about. Worth a pickup

Wheeling Casino Bakery:

Double Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Muffin:
Invalid Link Removed

This place literally has a full sized room based off just desserts. Roommate bought these for me. These were so moist, fresh, and melt in your mouth it was insane. The blueberries goosed in your mouth and the chocolate chips were melting biting into the muffins. The chocolate was so rich my head started to spin. Almost reminded me of straight dark chocolate. The amount of cinnamon sugar on the blueberry went perfect with the muffin. All in all these were solid. Maybe I was just starved after dieting for 6 months, but these were GOLD

I was there yesterday as well and they were pretty much 100% switched over to peppermint everything.

Only pumpkin items left were O's, a few misc pies/babka, and the mousse cookies (which I grabbed). Everything else was nowhere to be found.

They had a ton of pumpkin stuff, I didn't see any peppermint yet....but that probably means that put them all out after I left

I blame my wife!!!!

Don't tell her I said that lol

Also Found the Oreo Bar at Walmart. Will get my review up by this weekend when I crack into it.
 
Oreo Big Crunch Bar:

Invalid Link Removed

The outside is a very rich milk chocolate flavor. Combine that with a crunchy sweet cream & thick chocolate center. As the outside of the bar melts in your mouth, the texture of the center provides a thick compliment full of flavor. This creme is softer and more whipped than the traditional Oreo creme; it’s like an Oreo ganache or truffle . The chocolate cookie has a touch of a cocoa aftertaste, but it has the balance between a cookie and candy in texture. The bar may be 1000+ calories for the entire thing, but the flavor factor alone is worth the buy.

Cliffs
- Rich milk chocolate outside
- Sweet Cream and Chocolate Crunchy Center very dense and thick
- Absolutely delicious
- Go Buy NOW

Macros for all these mugs
Fat 14g
Carbs 181g (28g fiber)
Protein 123g

So if you're a normal person and don't eat them all then they're pretty macro friendly
