Pizza Hut Hershey s Hot Chocolate Brownie

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

Pizza Hut and Hershey’s have a fruitful relationship. Or should I say chocoful relationship? Sorry.

The dessert feature a fresh baked warm Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie topped with toasted marshmallows and drizzled with Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup. The brownie is made using Hershey’s cocoa, Special Dark chocolate, and semi-sweet chocolate. It’s served uncut, is priced at $6.99, and is available for a limited time.

Seeing the Trix rabbit with Princess Leia hair buns makes me think Cinnabon should do some promotion with Star Wars. Her hair buns do remind me of cinnamon rolls. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

Special Edition Star Wars Cheez-It Crackers

Special Edition Star Wars Cheez-It Crackers

I guess Stormtroopers have to be extra careful when eating Cheez-It crackers, or else crumbs will get stuck in the nooks and crannies of their suits. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

Weight Watchers Smart One Smart Creations Pulled Pork and Black Bean and Chipotle Lime Chicken

If I used Photoshop to swap “Pulled Pork and Black Beans” with “Chipotle Lime Chicken” I don’t think anyone would notice. Or maybe I did. (Spotted by Dorothy at Walmart.)

Angie's Holdrizzle Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Kettle Corn

Angie’s Holidrizzle Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Kettle Corn

Hot cocoa is the hot flavor of the season. And fruitcake continues to be the cold flavor of the season. (Spotted by Chris B at Target.)

I bet Little Debbie was always on Santa’s “nice” list. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Burger King Frozen Surge

Burger King Frozen Surge

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

The citrus-flavored Surge made its comeback in 2014 and so far (knock on wood) it hasn’t been discontinued again. But for many people in the western half of the United States, it’s hard to find. If you go to the Surge website and look at the map that shows all the areas that carry the green beverage, you’ll see that folks on the eastern side of the U.S. have a much, much, much, much better chance of finding Surge.

But for those of you in the Surge-dry parts of America, Burger King has made it easier for you to get some thanks to their new Frozen Surge. The frozen beverage is available nationwide at participating locations.

A large has 120 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 10 milligrams of sodium, 32 grams of carbohydrates, 29 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein. If you’re wondering if it has caffeine, yes it does. But there doesn’t seem to be any information about how much.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Brach's Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Crushed Candy Canes

Is this what Brach’s makes with all the candy canes they didn’t sell last year? Do they cryogenically freeze them, keeping their freshness and making them easier to crush? (Spotted by Carla at Target.)
