Coffee Mate’s White Chocolate Caramel Creamer (Review)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 26, 2011

Not overly rich, nor too thick (unlike International Delight’s Breve Cream in my opinion) I get a pretty even taste of caramel, but a slightly less white chocolate undertone. I had thought that the white chocolate would overpower the subtle buttery caramel, however one taste’s the opposite.

Godiva’s Vanilla Sundae Dark Chocolate Truffle

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 15, 2011

Biting into it, there will be a sharp note of bittersweet, rich dark chocolate, followed by a creamy, delicate vanilla taste with a creamy buttery undertone. Its texture mirrors caramel (though it is cream in color), and though no vanilla beans are absent, there is a complexity of the satiny vanilla that stems from the product’s quality ingredients; White chocolate, vanilla powder, and vanilla work hand in hand to stand out on their own, but bow down humbly to the dark chocolate’s authority, both harmoniously defining each other’s tastes.

Random Post: Saxby’s Strawberry Turnover.

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

It was like eating warm strawberry jam that tasted too soggy to be yummy. Maybe next time, Saxby’s. Just kidding, hahaha. Once I dislike something, it’s hard to give it another go. Manifestations of trust issues,perhaps?

International Delights Cinnabon Coffee Creamer Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

Although I liked their replication of the bun, I wouldn’t buy it again, because the inclusion of a cream cheese undertone in my coffee is just plain weird. I even considered that it would be when I was considering purchasing it, but I figured the cream cheese icing flavor would be obsolete.

Mio Water Enhancer:Because regular water just isn’t fun anymore.

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 31, 2011

We all know that water is incredible for health, but let’s be real- it doesn’t always taste fun, and I’m a fun kinda girl! XD So this product was ideal! A little info about my water drinking history- I’d only drink it if I was parched, averaging at about 3 glasses/day. The sad thing was, I was totally okay with that.

Must Try Junk Food: Taco Bell’s Pacific Shrimp Tacos

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 25, 2011

I’ve tried taco Bell’s original shrimp taco’ they had a few months back and was dissappointed. They were fried little shrimp with no seasoning that barely could be tasted because you’d get about 2 per taco.  This time, I gave them another try (because I’m an optimist) and I truly enjoyed them. The shrimp was [...]

Opa! My First Greek Yogurt! (Then my second one)+ A recipe!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 18, 2011

Greek yogurt was pretty good It’s thick, creamy, chock full of protein (12 grams!) and does vary from your typical very sweet yogurts out there. It also taste a tad bit more natural than say some other yogurts that are just full of sugar. Plus, it’s so thick, I turned my spoon over and the yogurt didn’t even budge. COOL!!

I expected this to not taste that much like a vanilla cupcake considering it has a graham cracker base. Upon opening the bag, you’ll notice that there are sprinkles on your goldfish grahams to imply that is it indeed a cupcake. (Nothing spells a cupcake like sprinkles, and don’t you forget it :) ) With the first bite, I was only able to taste a graham cracker and maybe a bit more butter

What’s fun, exotic,rich in chocolate, and evenly flavored with coconut flavor? Coconut M&M’s

Pepperidge Farm Strawberry Milano Cookies Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: February 28, 2011

I have had the pleasure (as previously mentioned) of trying the French Vanilla flavor which gave the chocolate flavor a creamy, toned down, yet subtle accented, contrasting note, and the displeasure of sampling the Raspberry flavor. Personally, the raspberry tasted like cough syrup gone bad (as if good cough syrup is ever tasty) with bitter-sweet chocolate domination. I gag sometimes, randomly when I recount how my taste buds hated me for a few hours after eating them.
