Review: Dr. Black's Brain Bar Chocolatey Caramel Bar

We all know that I love free samples and spend a lot of time reviewing samples and free products that I've reviewed on the blog.  In the case of today's review, the chance to get a free sample carrying the name of Dr. Black's Brain Bar Chocolatey Caramel Bar was just too hard for me to refuse.  Not only because it was a free sample, but the chance to eat a bar with brain on the name was just too amusing for me and too hard to resist.  So, I ordered this free sample through an online promotion and the drawback was that it was a chocolate bar shipped to me in the heat of the summer (more on that later).  The positive is that it was free (had to mentioned that again) and the bar itself comes in at 0.99 ounces with 110 calories and three grams of protein.  It's also made up of a proprietary brain blend as stated on the wrapper as "A Proprietary Blend of Longvida Curcumin, DHA, Fisetin, Green Tea Extract."  A bunch of things that I have no idea what they are, but I'll take their word for it that it's good for my central processing unit (brain).

Review: Blue Bunny / Cadbury English Toffee Ice Cream Bars

Most of us are familiar with Cadbury Creme Eggs (the American version made by Hershey's, not the actual British version made by Cadbury itself) and while they are available frequently here in the United States, they mostly get their big publicity around Easter, for obvious reasons.  That said, they do license out their chocolate recipe/flavor to the masses and ever the opportunists, Blue Bunny decided to take advantage of that famous Cadbury chocolate recipe and incorporate it into one of their frozen dessert products with these Blue Bunny / Cadbury English Toffee Ice Cream Bars that I picked up on sale in a box of eight at Kroger for $3.99.  Each bar in the box is 2.1 fluid ounces and 160 calories.

Review: Klondike Heath Ice Cream Bars

The old commercial tagline for Klondike Bars was "What would you do for a Klondike bar?"  Klondike bars are fine, but I wouldn't even buy them unless they were on sale.  So, in response to the commercial, my answer is that I wouldn't do much.  That said, they were on sale recently as I mentioned in a prior review, so I picked up two different flavors and this Klondike Heath Ice Cream Bar is that second flavor.  I picked these up at Meijer on sale for $2.50 for a box of six and each bar in the box is 230 calories and roughly four ounces per bar.  Obviously modeled after HEATH bars, it's milk chocolate English toffee in ice cream bar form (the tagline is "Kind of like a HEATH bar, only ice creamier"; cute).  I can't remember if I've mentioned this in prior toffee flavored product reviews, but toffee is something that I never really developed a craving for until later in life.  HEATH bars were fine as I was growing up, but they weren't anything that I actively pursued.  It wasn't until later in life when my uncle showed up at Christmas with a brick of toffee from a sweets shop that I developed an intense craving for it.  That stuff was so incredible that it sold me on toffee for life.
