Stouffer's Lasagna Bake with Meat Sauce

This was pretty good, especially compared to the "healthy" frozen meals by the Lean Cuisine line. It's basically lasagna but with individual noodles. There's a few meat chunks (no allergic reaction to these, unlike meatballs!) and some cheese along with the tomato sauce. It's a decent size and it's a little healthier than the full-on lasagna. I like it pretty well, especially if I'm in a frozen lasagna mood.

Hershey's Simple Pleasures Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme

I was very excited when I saw this in the store because I'm not allergic to it! However, it was a little bit disappointing. These are individually wrapped chocolates with 'vanilla' filling inside. I wonder if it's the same filling as the kisses? Anyways, the chocolate is fine, tastes pretty much like standard Hershey's choco (but not extra creamy or anything). The filling is kind of weird. It's the consistency of a junior mint innard so I was expecting a mint flavor, which is maybe why I thought it was toothpastey. But it didn't actually taste like mint, it tasted like vanilla. . . I guess. It wasn't very creamy. It was almost gritty without the grit. Too thin. Tasted a lot like cake icing from a can, which made the whole thing taste like a cheap grocery store cake or something. Maybe not milky enough. Not sure, but I didn't love it. Here's hoping the chocolate filling is better!

Laura says: These are pretty good, I think. They're nothing terribly great, but if you can't get a ton of other cream candies at candy shops, they're a good alternative to things I've had in assorted boxed chocolates. The vanilla tasted like vanilla to me! 7/10

Bar-B-Q Fritos

I don't really like Fritos to begin with so, while the bar-b-q flavoring is an improvement over the regular version, these are still not to my taste. They taste like corn chips. The smell reminds me of a gym locker room so I just can't enjoy it.

Overall
Cost: 7/10
Taste: 4/10

Laura says: I love fritos a lot. A lot a lot. And bar-b-q are possibly my favorite. They're salty and crunchy and kind of spicy and it's really hard to not eat the whole bag in a rush. The bar-b-q is strong, so if you like very strong-flavored chips these are for you and if not, the regular ones are great for dipping. 9/10

Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries

This is one of my favorite kids' cereals even though I do get a little (irrationally) scared that I'm allergic to it. The non-berry parts are buttery and good and the berry parts are sweet and like kix berries. I enjoy it very much although I don't know if I could eat too many bowls in a row because it is very sweet and buttery, however it is good for a plain cereal bit especially compared to lucky charms or cheerios.

Overall
Cost: 4/10
Taste: 7/10

Laura says: I like it as a cereal goes. I could do without the berries, of all things, so I think a different Cap'n Crunch cereal would be better for me personally. 6/10

Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch

This was better than I expected. It's really just vanilla ice cream with pieces of heath bar in it. Some of the pieces are big chocolate sheets and some are toffee sheets and some are almost almond-shaped pieces of toffee or almond. I don't really like toffee or heath bars that much, but in the context of vanilla ice cream it actually tastes better. So, in conclusion, this is a good ice cream, well-designed, and goes good in a cone. So.

Laura says: I like it a lot! I love the big chunks of heath bar and the vanilla ice cream is good too! 8/10

Ben and Jerry's Cake Batter Ice Cream

I didn't really taste too much of this ice cream because my first bite was not what I wanted. The cake batter ice cream doesn't necessarily taste like cake but it definitely doesn't taste like ice cream. The chocolate frosting swirl doesn't taste like frosting. It tastes like chocolate ice cream. This is bad. I do not like it.

Cost: 5/10
Taste: 4/10

Laura says: I liked it pretty well, actually. It just tastes like sweet, kind of generic ice cream. 5/10

Ben and Jerry's Boston Cream Pie Ice Cream

This ice cream was ok. But. Not great. The main flavor is supposed to be a custard ice cream which reminds me a lot of the cake batter ice cream in that it wasn't vanilla and it wasn't very good. Nevertheless, the "pastry-swirl" and the "vanilla cake bits" made the flavor bareable. In small bites it's even a treat!

Cost: 4/10
Taste: 6/10

Laura says: It's kind of weird-tasting, but not the worst. 4/10
