Tried this recently and my first reaction is that this is one of the best cookies and cream flavour ice creams available in grocery stores, if not the best. The ice cream is rich and creamy, as you would expect from Haagen Dazs, and the texture is spot on. Note that the ice cream is not smooth like most HD flavours and the cookies aren't as chunky as they are with other brands. Overall, a great ice cream! -

I've been buying these on and off for years. I don't crave them but they're a great crunchy snack that's a little different than chips. I like the flavours and the colours. They're salty and a little oily but overall good. I placed a bowl out at a work gathering once and I was surprised how quickly they went. -
GOODNORTH Mocha Chocolate Biscotti

This is the first flavour of GOODNORTH ice milk I've tried. Note that this is an "ice milk" dessert (as listed on the packaging) and it's not actually ice cream. That said, it has a good amount of creaminess and is a pretty good substitute for ice cream.
From the image on the packaging I thought this would be biscotti flavoured. It's chocolate mocha flavour with small bites of chocolate covered biscotti. The flavour is mild and I would prefer it stronger. I liked it quite a bit and even though I didn't love it, I would buy again and try the other flavours.
It's produced by the same group that makes Haagan Dazs and comes in the same size pints. Compared to HD, Goodnorth is a lot less calories and higher protein. Weirdly, even though it's only 25ml less (Goodnorth is 475ml and HD is 500ml), the Goodnorth tub felt a lot lighter to me.
Again, not ice cream and not as satisfying as ice cream, but still a good dessert.

The chocolate is great, regular smooth Lindt dark chocolate. And then suddenly you bite into a whole pink peppercorn and it ruins the taste of the chocolate. If you like eating whole peppercorns, I imagine you'll love this. I might try baking with the rest of the bar and maybe that's what this is really for given that it's 47% dark chocolate and peppercorn.

Lärabar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bar
I love the taste - almost as satisfying as a chocolate bar and much more filling. I only eat these type of bars about once a month but I always think it's a good idea to have one around in case you're in a rush and need something quick to eat. Great... +
I love the taste - almost as satisfying as a chocolate bar and much more filling. I only eat these type of bars about once a month but I always think it's a good idea to have one around in case you're in a rush and need something quick to eat. Great for travelling or a work snack. This is my favourite flavour of Larabars so far but there's many left to try. It's also vegan! -

Pancakes & Waffles was my first taste of Halo Top ice cream. I picked this flavour because I've never had this favour from any brand before and generally like to try new foods. I liked the pancake and waffle pieces, I did not like the ice cream. It's a little too airy for me and did not taste like what I think of as ice cream. The best I can compare it to is Skinny Cow ice cream, which I sometimes eat but wouldn't prefer or crave. The aftertaste was odd but I couldn't put my finger on it.
I'm a big ice cream fan so I was excited to hear Halo Top arrived in Canada. I'll likely try a few other flavours but I'm unlikely to buy Pancakes & Waffles again.

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer

It's a good product at a good price for a facial moisturizer.
I've been using this moisturizer for a month and it works just fine. No unexpected break outs or anything like that. I like that it's free of artificial perfume and dyes. It's heavier than I expected for a facial moisturizer - normally they are quite light but this one even feels heavy when I squeeze it out of the bottle - but my face doesn't seem to notice. I don't use moisturizer daily but I regularly need to during cold winter days.

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy Ice Cream
This ice cream is so aptly named! I tried this B&J;'s flavour for the first time this summer and I love it! I don't normally go for a chocolate B&J;'s ice cream - I prefer a vanilla with chunks of goodness - but I'm so glad that I tried this one... +
This ice cream is so aptly named! I tried this B&J;'s flavour for the first time this summer and I love it! I don't normally go for a chocolate B&J;'s ice cream - I prefer a vanilla with chunks of goodness - but I'm so glad that I tried this one. Although there are cookie chucks in this flavour, they're on the softer side and the whole thing tastes like a very rich chocolate moose. Would definitely recommend to any chocolate fans out there! -

This is the only flavour of Häagen-Dazs I have not enjoyed so far. The caramel and the salt were overwhelming. I could barely taste the ice cream or the pecans, even when I was very selectively scooping. Partly this is on me - I didn't realize that salt would be the top flavour and the amount of caramel in the pint. So, this product is not for me but if you're a fan of salted caramel, give this a try. I would have been better off purchasing the butter pecan flavour. -

Ben & Jerry's PB & Cookies is an awesome treat that happens to be non-dairy and vegan!
I'm a longtime Ben & Jerry's fan and was interested in trying the non-dairy flavours even though my default is Cherry Garcia. The thing I love about Ben & Jerry's ice cream is the chunky goodness, which it does better than any other brand, and which definitely holds true for the PB & Cookies flavour! The chucks of rich PB and cookies are so enjoyable!
The dessert is overall rich and delicious like ice cream is, but I can definitely tell it's not dairy ice cream. It doesn't have the same consistency and you can easily taste that it's almond milk if that's something you already drink. This is a good thing! Almond milk is awesome! And this dessert will become a new craving for me, distinct from a craving for ice cream. It satisfies by sweet tooth with a small serving.
I'm not dairy free or vegan, but I love that this product is. It's sometimes hard to find non-dairy or vegan desserts for friends and it's awesome to have a go-to one now!
I'm so happy I had the chance to try this for free through ChickAdvisor!
