Review: Haagen-Dazs Honey Milk Chocolate Graham Gelato Bars

If you have been a regular reader of the blog (however sparse my posts have been recently), you may have noticed that I've gotten away from dessert-type reviews.  A lot of that has helped me drop a few unwanted pounds in 2015, but sometimes the old sweet tooth just kicks in and when that is paired with a coupon that gets me a killer deal, I just can't resist picking up something decidedly unhealthy and very dessert-y at the store.  That led me to add to my Haagen-Dazs review collection as a $2.00 off store coupon allowed me to pick up a box of three Haagen-Dazs Honey Milk Chocolate Graham Gelato Bars at Kroger for $1.99.  What a deal!  Anyway, each bar in the box is 3.0 ounces and packs a decidedly unhealthy 280 calories.  But hey, it's dessert...dessert is rarely healthy.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Ice Cream Bars

I've been steadily making my way through the bulk purchase of Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars that I made a while back and today's review is the final flavor of that splurge.  That splurge allowed me to pick up this box of three Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Ice Cream Bars for $3.00 at Meijer.  Now, I'm okay with salted caramel as a flavor combination, but I think the sudden surge of products revolving around that flavor is absurd.  I mean, the flavor combo is fine, but it's not as good as the amount of products available would suggest.  But, I guess trying these out will allow me to determine whether these are a successful addition to the world or a failure.  Before I bite in, each bar in this box is 3.0 fluid ounces and comes in at a premium 290 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars

After I just typed out the title of this review, I had this feeling that I might as well stop there because the name of this product pretty much described it all in terms of what I'd be getting.  Even with that, I paid the big $3.00 at Meijer for this box of three bars, so I figured I wouldn't let that money go to "waste" by not reviewing these Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars to add to my rapidly expanding waistline, I mean review archive.  Each bar within the box comes in at 3.0 fluid ounces and has 300 calories, so as with all Haagen-Dazs products, it's not exactly a low calorie treat by any stretch of the imagination.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars

I can say with a reasonable sense of certainty that up until I bought a trio of Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars in a recent super sale at Meijer that I've never had one of their ice cream bars in my life.  Heaven knows I've had plenty of their ice creams that I've reviewed, but I've never gone down to the ice cream bar products.  So, today's review of this three bar box of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars that I picked up for $3.00 is a first for me.  Lucky you!  Each bar is 3.0 fluid ounces and is a belly-busting 310 calories, so as per the typical Haagen-Dazs motif, this is super premium and very calorie dense.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Orchard Peach Sorbet

So this has been quite a week.  Not only have I been focusing on Haagen-Dazs products for the first time, but today's review is a type of food that I've never reviewed on this blog in my life...sorbet.  That's right, the frozen dessert that has no eggs, milk, cream, whatever.  No dairy.  Just sugar, water and fruit.  It's going to be different, but hey, I'm willing to try new things and that leads me to this container of Haagen-Dazs Orchard Peach Sorbet that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $2.49 for a fourteen ounce container.  Each container has 3.5 half-cup servings and each serving is 130 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Rum Raisin Ice Cream

If you read this blog regularly, you can tell that I'm a big fan of ice cream.  What you may not know is that I'm also a big fan of drinking alcohol, so when those two paths cross, it's a dream come true for me.  In fact, the morning that I typed up this review, I actually homemade a batch of White Russian ice cream, so that's how much I love intersecting the two things.  As I previously mentioned in my Haagen-Dazs posts, I picked up three containers of their ice cream in a buy two, get one free sale and this Haagen-Dazs Rum Raisin Ice Cream is the final container from that splurge.  This is one of Haagen-Dazs' traditional flavors and humorously enough, it's also all natural.  Each container is fourteen ounces and has 3.5 half-cup servings.  Each serving is an economical (for Haagen-Dazs) 260 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Cappuccino Gelato

First things first, coffee...good.  Coffe-flavored ice cream...the jury is still out on that one.  In my continuing quest to have to buy an entire new wardrobe due to eating ice cream, I'm led to yet another Haagen-Dazs gelato review with this review of their Haagen-Dazs Cappuccino Gelato.  After taking a look at that link to their site, I came to the humorous recognition that I've reviewed nearly every single flavor they have after this review (as of this writing; that flavor list could and will probably grow in the future).  Knowing that, I was eager to dive into this fourteen ounce container that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $2.49.  Each container contains the customary 3.5 half-cup servings and each serving clocks in at an economical (for Haagen-Dazs) 230 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Limoncello Gelato

As this week has shown, there have been some incredible Haagen-Dazs sales at my local stores this week and I've been picking up containers of their various products left and right.  So, I'm led to another product out of their new gelato line of desserts with this Haagen-Dazs Limoncello Gelato.  This was on sale at $2.49 for the fourteen ounce container and each container contains 3.5 half-cup servings at 240 calories per serving.  The great thing about this is that Limoncello is just not lemon gelato...not even close.  Well, it is close, but the other primary ingredient is something I'm a very large fan of...VODKA.  Oh boy...

Review: Haagen-Dazs Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato

Haagen-Dazs has been doing no favors to my waistline, but in honor of my dear readers (that's you), I'm plodding on with yet another review to add to this week's theme.  As with before, I picked up this fourteen ounce container of Haagen-Dazs Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato at a ridicuously awesome sale price at Kroger for $2.49.  As usual, this container has 3.5 half-cup sized servings and each serving of gelato checks in at 240 calories.  For those of you that are unaware what Amaretto is, it's an almond-flavored Italian liqueur.  Almonds...yum.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Peanut Butter Pie Ice Cream

I must have lived a sheltered childhood because up until about five years ago, I had never heard of Peanut Butter Pie in my life, which is strange.  It's strange because as this blog has shown, I am all about EVERYTHING regarding peanut butter.  When I found out about Peanut Butter Pie though,  it was almost as if I had been opened up into a whole new and wonderful world.  I ended trying some, making some and basically becoming addicted to them.  When I learned via several blog reviews that there was a limited edition Haagen-Dazs Peanut Butter Pie Ice Cream, I knew I had to get my hands on a container once I saw it in the store.  Luckily, my local Marsh started carrying it, so on my way home from the gym one day (hilarious that I'd pick this up after that and you'll see why), I picked up a fourteen ounce container of this in a buy two, get one free sale for $4.25 to add to this week's growing list of reviews.  Each container is the usual 3.5 half-cup servings and what makes the fact that I bought this after the gym amusing is that each of those servings is a very gym-negating 310 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Stracciatella Gelato

Haagen-Dazs week continues with another review to add to the collection.  I'll be the first to admit that prior to seeing news of this gelato on the internet, I had never heard of Stracciatella in my life.  Based on the news of this new flavor introduction, my quest to try new things and ultimately also by the fact that I want more pageviews for the blog (read:  more income), I picked up this fourteen ounce container of Haagen-Dazs Stracciatella Gelato at Kroger on sale for $2.49.  Each container has 3.5 half-cup sized servings and each serving is a fairly robust 270 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ice Cream

In my previous Haagen-Dazs reviews, I dug into their limited edition and gelato flavors.  In this review, I'm going to hit up one of their core flavors for the first time in my entire life as I take a look at this container of Haagen-Dazs White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ice Cream.  White chocolate?  Um, yes please.  I love, love, love white chocolate, so I'm hoping this is right in my wheelhouse.  I picked this up in a buy two, get one free sale, but it would ordinarily retail in the ballpark of $5.00 per container.  As for the container itself, it's fourteen ounces, which equates to 3.5 half-cup servings.  Each serving is a robust 280 calories.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Sea Salt Caramel Gelato

After staying away from Haagen-Dazs for the longest time, I've been all over them recently. I've written some reviews, some of which have not been posted yet and will be later this week (I'm going to use this week as a Haagen-Dazs week to bombard a long ignored produc)t.  For the sake of posting relevant and recent content (Google's search engine rankings love me for that), this review of the new-ish Haagen-Dazs Sea Salt Caramel Gelato jumps to the head of the line. Gelato is a new thing for Haagen-Dazs and by putting this out there, they have joined a very small list of gelato competitors to what I'll call the Talenti dynasty. I often complain about Haagen-Dazs' prices, but this tiny 1.8 ounce cup was the perfect price for me: $1.00! Now, I'm not getting a whole lot of gelato for a buck, but it's still enough for me to at least sample whether this is a good flavor or not. What is hilarious about this though is that in this tiny container, there is still a gut busting 240 calories. Gelato or ice cream, Haagen-Dazs is always decadent.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Spiced Caramel Biscuit Ice Cream

I don't know why, but I've always stayed away from reviewing Haagen-Dazs products for the blog.  Actually, I don't even buy them at the store either and I'm not sure why.  Maybe it's because I'm angry that their "pints" are only fourteen ounces or that it costs an arm and a leg to buy one (it's probably the latter).  My local Marsh ran a sale recently where it was buy two containers and get a third free, so finally with a deal like that, I was able to get these down to a range where I wouldn't have to take a bank loan just to purchase one.  So, I took the leap and that leads me to this limited edition product review of the Haagen-Dazs Spiced Caramel Biscuit Ice Cream.  Each container is fourteen ounces, which equates to 3.5 half-cup servings.  Each serving itself had a robust and completely unhealthy (par for the course with Haagen-Dazs) 290 calories per serving.  This may be off the shelves in your area by now as my Marsh usually keeps things too long (looking at some of their expiration dates is sometimes an adventure), but I'll just go ahead and add my thoughts to the long list of online reviews already done on this (links at the end of this post).
