i love it when i see these posts as i’m compiling my grocery order online to be delivered and it reminds me to look for new snacks
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m quite over all of the unicorn-themed things, everywhere I look. (Well, frankly, I was never “under” them (ha); I never understood the appeal of a fake horse with a horn.)
Having said that, I’ve got to give Betty Crocker some props for the clever addition of actual unicorn-head-shaped sprinkes, rather than just the run-of-the-mill, boring, multi-colored/confetti ones. I am all about innovation and attention to detail, so I appreciated seeing that creative addition.
Props to you for noticing the fancy sprinkles. I was disappointed to see this because it’s essentially just a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. I did a double take to make sure that there was no fun filling for the middle but nope. A+ for the sprinkles but it is otherwise very, well, “vanilla”.
Thanks for the props; they are always quite appreciated, by me. hehe I have what is an often-unfortunate OVER-tendency to notice details; it does, sometimes, come in handy, however. 😉
As far as the “vanilla-ness” of the product, otherwise…well, even as a kid (when most love anything just, well, sugary)…I never cared for vanilla cake, vanilla frosting, etc. I still do not. At all.
Wait until you have REAL vanilla! It can be well done and highlighted. That artificial stuff can gtfo. Hehe. Vanilla has a time and a place; ie. NOT IN EVERY D*MN THING!
Ditto
OH MY GOSH! When people say “I’m so over that” etc. I always reply “I was never under it!”
bahaha…
I’ll always be extremely pissed off that unicorns aren’t real. I don’t get the unicorn trend, either. Since they’re not real, at least.
Hmmm…what creatures advertised on boxes are?
Yes, and I’ll always be really f’ing pissed off that they’re not real, as well, especially dragons.
I will be looking for Dove Deeper Dark Chocolate Promises. I use their regular dark to make my chocolate chip cookies and those are really good.
That sounds great. Please send me some. 🙂
They also have dove 82 and as a dark chocolate lover they are very good! I’ve never tried them in cookies but I’ll have to give it a try.
Dove is probably the best mass produced commercial American chocolate company.
Really? I think Hershey’s blows them out of the water. Nah, I’m just kidding. 😀 I’ve never had Dove chocolate, and Hershey’s chocolate sucks ass, unless it’s in a s’more, and I’m way too fond of their cookies and cream bar.
Phew *wipes sweat off of forehead.* lol, we were about to just have a fisticuffs!
Personally speaking, I’m not a fan of traditional s’mores, they eat too messy for me, though I do adore the flavour combo. And yes…aaaahhh the cookies and cream bar. I do also enjoy the “hugs” and don’t care for kisses unless they are the ones with creme/meltaway centers.
You should give Dove Promises a shot! And the dark varieties, at least for me, are perfectly portion for just a couple to fulfill a chocolate craving.
I’m a tad spoiled as I am of British descent so grew up on Cadbury’s *swoon.* And now, working in the food industry, I know my way around chocolate and don’t really care for many of the mass marketed chocolates out there. I hope that doesn’t sound snobby, as I am not. Judge me if you please.
Nope doesn’t sound snobby at all. 🙂 Cadbury sucks now, though, unfortunately, since they were sold. I had the Rocky Road bar that they sell in Australia a few years before Cadbury was sold, and it was SO DAMN GOOD!!!!! Then I bought six of them this year, and they sucked ass in comparison!!!!! I could have cried! Bastards!!!!! It’s nice to see someone else of English descent, although I am only a little bit. I’ve always called myself a mutt because I am of Irish, Scottish, French, German, and English descent. 😀
