Muddy Bites Salted Caramel Shortbread Cookie Cones

[New for 2026] Why yes, I do have one more Muddy Bites review for you that has been in the cabinet for several weeks.... actually should probably say months now..... let's open a bag of....

Canton Creamery Cookie Dough M&M

Who is Canton Creamery? Well, for starters, it's Canton, CT, not Canton, MA, and this is their website (which could use a bit of work to be honest). They are available at Big Y stores, which is where I found me a pint of....

Muddy Bites Strawberry Roundup

[New for 2026] I love the idea of Muddy Bites even if I dont love every flavor. Also, while I often get annoyed with companies constantly trying to re-flavor a product, there are times when it makes sense, like with these new...

New Candy Bar Ice Creams from Wells

[Announced Early 2025] You know how I mentioned an 18th anniversary post on Instagram? Well, this is what I posted. 18 ice cream bars for 18 years of blogging courtesy of the marketing team for Wells Enterprises (aka Blue Bunny). They didn't send it for that reason, but funny coincidence right? Ok, let's get these opened up!

More Muddy Bites!

[CnC New for April 2023, Thin Mints New for December 2023] 

I've always liked the idea of Muddy Bites, but I've never actually fallen in love with Muddy Bites. It's a snack that's like 80% of the way to clicking with me, until now. Can you guess which one did the trick for me?

Muddy Bites Waffle Cone Snacks

[Created in 2018, First produced in 2019] I was pretty excited when I finally found Muddy Bites (Dark Chocolate version) at Stop & Shop at the beginning of the year, but I didn't fall in love like I had hoped. Fast forward to April when I got an email asking if I'd like to try more Muddy Bites. I said yes ofcourse, but then radio silence.... until a package showed up on my doorstep last month. A package that contained four bags of...

Twix Cookie Dough Ice Cream

[New for Early 2023] Time to do something that I haven't done in a very long time.... I picked up a pint of ice cream on the way to the office! I first spied this flavor at Hannaford a few days ago and was just going to post the picture, but then I realized that I would have an opportunity to actually try it on Friday. Well, after stopping at a different Hannaford, it's time to break out the emergency spoon for...

Muddy Bites Dark Milk Chocolate Waffle Cone Snacks

[Created in 2018, First produced in 2019] I was pretty excited when I first saw Muddy Bites pop up on Instagram. I love that final chocolate filled bite of a Nestle Drumstick, so I thought "how could these not be awesome?" Well, I finally found them at Stop & Shop this morning...

Twix Cookies & Creme Ice Cream Bars

These returned in 2024 with the only difference between that the wrappers lost their left/right branding. Original Review after the break.

Twix Chocolate Lowfat Milk

I was grabbing a few random snacks to call my lunch when I spied...

Twix Chocolate Lowfat Milk

I thought "hey, why not? I like TWIX and I like chocolate milk, what could go wrong?" Ok, that last part is a lie. I knew exactly what could go wrong and it did.

It's not that it tastes super terrible, it's the fact that not only does it not taste like TWIX really, but it tastes like some kind of coffee - caramel hybrid and you all know I don't like coffee. I could drink it for the sake of not wasting it, but I'm not enjoying it at all.

I wound up drinking less than half of the milk at lunch with the thought that I could sneak it in to the back of closest fridge and then finish the rest on the way home. Yeah, I left it in that fridge and I don't know the next time I will be back to it. What a shame. So sad. Real broken up about it. Gonna need a minute to gather myself....

Verdict?  why?
Buy Again?  nope

DQ Heath Caramel Brownie Blizzard

[New for early Fall 2019] I wasn't really interested in my frozen meal at lunchtime today, and it's definitely feeling like summer out there, so I headed to DQ for....

Dairy Queen Reese's Outrageous Blizzard

[New for August 2018] It's getting a bit late in to August, so I have to ask, have you tried the Reese's Outrageous blizzard yet? I've been thinking about it alot for the last three weeks. See, I was chowing down through a bag of delicious Reese's Outrageous bars before skipping out on candy for the last two months. Is it time to finally treat myself? I think so!

Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Sandwiches

[New for 2018] Like Nestle (Edys/Dreyers) rebranding last year's candy flavors after the actual candies that inspired them, I was thinking that the two new rolo treats were just gimmicks, especially since frozen dairy dessert is involved. But guess what? If it's a gimmick, it's a tasty gimmick, at least when it comes to....

Baskin Robbins Candy Bar Mashup Ice Cream

[New for Oct 2017] Ok, I'm a little hurt. I've been gone for almost a week and I'm not sure anyone really noticed. It's ok and I do understand. I'm sure there were still plenty of ice cream pictures in your instagram feed while I was sick. It's the quiet time of year anyway. All we really have to keep us going until 2018 is monthly specials from whoever will serve them up.

M&M's & The Nosh Show Episode 112

Hello Nosh Show Listeners! Episode 112 is live and ready for noshing, I mean listening.

The M&M we cover during the show is the White Pumpkin Pie M&M and it's a pretty good representation of pumpkin pie. My personal preference tells me it's a little heavy on the spice, but I give them a kudos for getting the flavor so close. I would definitely pick these up if you are interested (or if you were disappointed in last years version with milk chocolate).

I actually brought Cookies & Screeem M&M's as my back up snack for Nosh it Now. To keep it simple, I don't really like these, there's just something off about them. That said, they are still surprisingly easy to devour. I think my trouble is that they have that weird fake cookies & cream vibe to them, but it's still an M&M, so you keep going anyway.

Last up is the cheese pizza Cheez-its I try during Nosh it Now. I don't love them but don't hate them either. I had some more over the weekend and they aren't bad bad but I don't see repurchasing them. Ryan brought the nacho variety to NiN so they're plenty of Cheez-it recap at the end of the show. Alright, have a good week everyone.

Twix Dark and The Nosh Show Ep 109

Hey Nosh Show listeners, Episode 109 is now live and waiting for you to check it out. You might be surprised that instead of me ranting about my trip to Virginia, I stay fairly quite as we have a first-time guest on the show. Will you appreciate the change up? or will you miss the nonsense?

Starburst Ice Cream Jellybeans & Nosh Show #99

Hello Nosh Show listeners! Episode 99 is ready for you! I open up with way too much ice cream talk and then a quick moment on how I do not like these new Starburst Ice Cream Jellybeans. At first I thought maybe I at least liked the lemon and orange ones, but I liked them less the more I ate of them. Thankfully my daughter enjoyed them enough that they won't go to waste!

Starburst Ice Cream Jellybeans

Show Notes: I mention "Welch's grapefruit juice" but I'm pretty sure I was thinking of their passionfruit juice. I also mention my "pricing guide" but I meant my new 2017 ice cream guide (which I just added more stuff too). During the show, Marvo tries to convince me to slice up a pint of Haagen-Dazs Trio for everyone to see... so I did over on instagram. I'm a little disappointed the show didn't get named "Pre-stale Peeps" but Squirt works too.

Alright, have a good week everyone, new review tomorrow!

M&M Ice Cream Bars

[New for early 2017] Mars is not known for releasing a plethora of new ice cream products, but in general there seems to always be at least one new product from them. They already have several tasty ice cream bars that are based on regular candy bars, but they've mixed things up a little this year by basing the next ice cream bar on a candy that doesn't have a bar form.

Double Chocolate M&M's and the Nosh Show Episode 93

Hello Nosh Show Listeners! Episode 93 is ready for listening. There's not a ton of product followup as we enter the holiday season, but I do have a few things to cover here. Oh, my Nosh (and Not) of the week is the two Kemps froyos I posted this week (#1 and #2). I think those of you who love salty caramel flavors should enjoy one of them at least.

Happy Halloween and the Nosh Show Episode 91

Hey everybody, sorry for no weekend post, got a little distracted by everything including a dying dryer. Anyway, I couldn't get Marvo to do another Candy Draft despite several attempts, but that doesn't mean that I can't talk about some new candy bars along with announcing episode 91 of the Nosh Show. Mmmm, it's candy time!
