FAST FOOD NEWS: Baskin-Robbins’ Candy Bar Mashup Ice Cream

Baskin Robbins Candy Bar Mashup Ice Cream

Baskin-Robbins’ Flavor of the Month for October 2017 is Candy Bar Mashup. The ice cream features Snickers, Milky Way, and Twix bar pieces in chocolate ice cream with a caramel ribbon.

If you’re like me and thought Baskin-Robbins might’ve released this flavor before, you might be confusing it, like I did, with last year’s Cookie Jar Mashup Ice Cream. That flavor had Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, AND Nutter Butter cookie pieces in vanilla ice cream with a chocolate flavored ribbon.

Oooh, imagine if BR was able to merge the mashups.

A small 2.5-ounce scoop of Candy Bar Mashup has 180 calories, 9 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 90 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 18 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

Panda Express Peking Pork

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

The one item I miss having at my local Panda Express locations is sweet and sour pork. I don’t know when it disappeared, but it was my “Ugh, I have to wait five minutes for a fresh batch of Orange Chicken” replacement. But, for the next few months, Panda Express will be offering a new sweet and sour pork dish — Peking Pork.

The entree features crispy, lightly battered pork chop bites, with green bell peppers and onions tossed in a savory sweet and sour glaze.

A 5.6-ounce serving has 400 calories, 180 calories from fat, 20 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 960 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 19 grams of sugar, and 20 grams of protein.
