Happy Happy Thursday y’all!!!  Before we get started I want to wish a very Happy 10th Birthday to the sweetest, fluffiest sous chef ever, Lacy!  I cannot believe she’s 10! The years have flown and she brings soo much joy to myself and my family, Happy Birthday fluff monster! No worries,  she will definitely be getting her very own cupcake today 😀

Anyways, back to food y’all…I can’t begin to tell y’all how much I love Oreos.  The original Oreos are always fantastic, but I really really love the limited edition ones.  There have obviously been a few misses over the years with the limited edition flavors, but for the most part I’m usually a fan.  

They had the Peep flavored Oreos last year, and I thought that they were fine, really sweet mind you, but ultimately I didn’t think that they tasted like Peeps.  They obviously changed the formula this year and most definitely for the better…

all that purple Peep goodness…

So I am aware that a lot of folks are not on board with the deliciousness that is Peeps, but even if you are not I still think you’ll like these cookies.  I personally loved these Oreos.  I don’t know how they did it, but they were able to get that perfect marshmallow taste in the Oreo cream, and to boot, they even added the sugar crunch in the cream that the outside of real Peeps have.  I’m telling y’all these Peeps Oreos are fantastic, I’m a big fan.  The only negative I might give them is that they are almost too sweet (for some folks anyway, not this chickadee), but other than that they’re way delicious.  I give these Peeps Oreos a 9 out of 10.  Thanks so much for stopping by and early Happy Easter!  Have a fantastic day!!!

Happy Happy Thursday y’all!!! Several weeks ago, I had been on a huuuge chocolate kick, that’s literally all that I wanted, which is definitely different for me because it’s usually donuts haha.  I’ve always been a really big fan of Lindt Lindor Truffles, and there were a few flavors I had yet to try, so I actually went to their website and waaaay over ordered.  You know how they say you shouldn’t go to the grocery store hungry, well I would definitely say the same thing for online food shopping as well.  Anyways, so my enormous bag of truffles arrived and I couldn’t wait for my cheat day to taste test them for my junk food review…

First, we have the caramel and milk chocolate truffle…

the inside…

So, I will say that I was expecting to have caramel spill out once I bit into it, like every other caramel and chocolate item ever, but this more solid caramel filling was pretty good.  Of course, the milk chocolate was deliciously smooth and rich and the caramel was equally as smooth and rich, but honestly not enough of a caramel flavor.  This one gets a 6.5 out of 10.

Next we have the coconut and milk chocolate truffle…

the inside…

I know that coconut and chocolate is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is definitely one of my personal favorite combinations.  Whoa buddy does this truffle pack a huge coconut punch to it too.  That smooth rich milk chocolate exterior with that almost buttery coconut filling knocked me right in the face.  This truffle is insanely good-especially if you love coconut-and so, so, rich…so rich in fact I could only eat 1, if that tells you anything haha.  This coconut truffle gets a solid 9 out of 10.

Last, we have the blueberries and cream truffle…

the inside…

First off, I loooved the fact that they used a white chocolate exterior for this wonderful blueberries and cream truffle, I think if they had attempted using a milk chocolate exterior it absolutely would not have worked.  The blueberry flavor doesn’t hit you in the face, but it’s such a wonderfully smooth and subtle flavor, and throw in the white chocolate exterior, this is seriously yum y’all.  I believe this is a limited edition flavor for Spring so I recommend giving this one a try.  This flavor gets a 9 out of 10.   

Thank y’all so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day & weekend!!!

Happy Happy Thursday y’all!  Wow, we’re this close to the weekend and I’m so thrilled.  We have planned an impromptu trip to Walt Disney World this weekend and I’m just plain giddy haha.  I’m also excited to share today’s junk food review, so let’s get to it!

I believe that this is the first brand new bar that Hershey’s has come out with in a while, and if that’s true then it was sooo worth the wait…

Look at all the peanuts & pretzels…

so yummy looking…

Alrighty, y’all, so as soon as I heard about this new bar coming out I positively knew that I had to have it.  As some of y’all might know, I’m sooo team sweet & salty and to hear that a caramelized creme bar with peanuts and pretzels in it was coming out?…omg forget it.  Fortunately, this bar lived up to every hope I had for it.  To me, this is eye rollingly, holy crud, wowza, get in my belly amazing.  The caramel base of this bar would be delicious on it’s own, but throw in finely chopped peanuts and pretzels to really balance out all of that sweet goodness, yes ma’am, this is the bee’s knees for sure.  This new Hershey’s Gold Bar gets a for sure 10 out of 10 from me, seriously go get one of these today, especially if you’re team sweet and salty like am.

Happy Happy Thursday y’all !!! Welcome to Part 2 of my Ample Hills Creamery review, you know, the one that was delivered straight to my door? 😀

So, Let’s get to it!

First, we have Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace Ice Cream…

Looks yummy…

So basically they had me at ‘Brown Sugar Cinnamon Base’ because soo many of my favorite recipes include brown sugar and cinnamon, so there you go.  Per usual, I’m going to be very honest, this one was slightly disappointing.  Not because it was bad at all, but just because the last oatmeal-esque ice cream was the protein heavy, lower calorie Halo Top and it was absolutely delicious.  I was certain that this one with pieces of real oatmeal cookie and a brown sugar and cinnamon base would make this one a for sure 10 out of 10, but honestly the flavors didn’t smack me in the face like I was hoping they would.  Also, like a lot of mix-ins, the flavor of the cookies was, for the most part lost, and the texture like the gooey butter cake was a lot chewy.  Only because this one was disappointing, I’m giving this one a 6 out of 10, had I not had high hopes it would have gotten a 7.5 out of 10.

Next we have The Munchies…

you can see some of the mix-ins…

So as a lot of you know already, I’m definitely team sweet & salty, hence my utter excitement at this ice cream that has a pretzel infused base with a bunch of salty and sweet stuff thrown in. You guys, I really hate to do this because I genuinely love giving glowing reviews on here, but again, this one…disappointing.  The ice cream base didn’t taste nearly as sweet & salty as I had been hoping it would, and the mix-ins, didn’t exactly mix in.  When I would stick my spoon into the container, the pieces of crackers, potato chips etc.  would come out in this weird frozen chunk, not seamlessly blending in like they should.  If I hit an especially salty bit of stuff in the ice cream it was good, but overall this one was just meh, but then again maybe my expectations were just too high, or the ice cream being super frozen and shipped just didn’t do the ice cream texture any justice.  Overall, I’ll give this one a 6.5 out of 10, but I will absolutely recommend grabbing some of their ice cream flavors fresh from their shops if you’re near one.  As always, thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Happy Thursday y’all!  Even though it’s been a short week due to the holiday and all, I still feel like it’s been dragging, I guess I’m just anxious for the weekend…again, hehe.  Let’s get to the good stuff shall we?  Ample Hills Creamery is this ice cream place in New York, which BTW they also have a location at Disney’s Boardwalk, which I hope to get to on our next trip, anyways, and I kept hearing about how delicious their stuff was.  Well, I then also heard that they ship ice cream straight to your door, holy cow!, isn’t a great time to be alive? I mean, ice cream delivered to your door?  Well, anyways, I immediately ordered a 4 pack of their most delectable sounding ice creams and waited longingly at my door for it to arrive haha, not really, but close enough.

First we have the Snap, Mallow Pop…

mmmmm…

So this ice cream is basically marshmallow ice cream with real chunks of Rice Krispie Treats throughout.  Y’all this ice cream flavor ended up being my absolute favorite one! Holy cow, the krispie treats somehow magically stayed crispy and there was no shortage of them throughout.  The ice cream base was rich and creamy, and I’m pretty sure the Rice Krispie Treats were the best I’ve ever had.  I had literally planned on just trying some of this flavor but ended up eating half the pint, woops.  This stuff is amazing, it easily gets a 10 out of 10.

Next, we have the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake…

definitely looks promising…

So, by name only, this ice cream was the one that I was the most excited to try.  I’ve made butter cake a million times over the years and it’s always as incredibly delicious as the first time I had it, and I heard over and over again about how this is Ample Hill’s most famous one and how it’s a must try.  Well, this is a great ice cream, absolutely, I just don’t think it’s their best.  My biggest peeve was that the gooey butter cake was really, really chewy.  I totally understand that that might happen due to the whole being frozen part, but it was soo chewy I was having to dig it out of my teeth, which is always cute haha.  So this is a rich and decadent ice cream, but I bet I would give it a much higher score if I had it fresh from one of their stores instead of from a super frozen pint.  I will give this one a 7.5 out of 10. 

Thank y’all so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week!
