by Erica LoopJanuary 16, 2020

Ben & Jerry’s is giving Netflix and chill a whole new meaning. The iconic ice cream brand recently released its Netflix & Chilll’d flavors—and don’t blame us if you eat the entire pint binge-watching You!

So what exactly does a Netflix-themed ice cream taste like? Ben & Jerry’s delish delight is a frosty blend of peanut butter ice cream, pretzel swirls and fudge brownies.

Whether you’re craving sweet or salty, this ice cream won’t let you down. Between the pretzels, the peanut buttery taste and the fudge brownie goodness, you’ll get your savory/sugary fix in.

Along with the full-on creamy Netflix & Chilll’s flavor, vegans and anyone who needs to stay far away from milk products can still enjoy the binge-worthy pick. Ben & Jerry’s new flavor also comes in a Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert variety.

Starbucks Releases Santa Boots Frappuccino––And It Has Potato Chips

by Shahrzad WarkentinDecember 3, 2019

If you’re a fan of salty and sweet flavor combinations, then Starbucks Santa Boots Chocolate Frappuccino is a holiday wish come true.

The new Frappuccino flavor features a chocolatey base topped with whipped cream, candy-coated chocolates and crushed potato chips. Oh, and did we mention the edible cookie straw? The only downside to this unique flavor combo is that you probably won’t be able to get a taste––unless you happen to live in Japan.

The Santa Boots Chocolate Frappuccino is only available at Starbucks locations in Japan through Dec. 25 or until supplies are sold out. You can always get creative and sprinkle some potato chips on top of a good, old fashioned Peppermint Mocha!

Hot Pockets Sweet Treats Are Pie in a Cinnamon-Covered Pouch

by Erica LoopNovember 6, 2019

Forget about microwaving your fave sandwich in a pocket of bread-y goodness. Hot Pockets’ new Sweet Treat line is exactly what the name implies—a sweet treat for all of us dessert-lovers!

The new addition to the Hot Pocket family doesn’t exactly mesh with the savory, salty goodness of ham and cheddar, pizza or Philly cheesesteak Hot Pockets. Instead, this freezer temptation skips the meat, tomato-based sauces and cheese entirely.

A post shared by CandyHunting (@candyhunting)

With flavors like Cinnamon Roll and Apple Cinnamon, these Hot Pockets are basically mini microwavable pies. The Cinnamon Roll flavor comes with cream cheese filling and a cinnamon-infused crust. You can get the same cinnamon crust on the apple version—but with fruit (and of course, more cinnamon) in the center.

As of now, these delish desserts are available at Hy-Vee. Stay on the lookout for the Sweet Treat line in your favorite freezer section. There’s no telling when Nestlé’s Hot Pockets’ newest creation will roll out in other retailers nationwide.

Get ready for a month filled with sweet, sweet spooky goodness at Baskin-Robbins. The iconic ice cream eatery has all kinds of Halloween-themed treats, including a chocolate zombie hand-topped sundae!

If a pillow case-filled with Halloween goodies at the end of the month isn’t enough chocolate-covered yumminess, Baskin-Robbins wants to start October off on the right foot with its flavor of the month: Candy Mashup.

Not only is Candy Mashup pure ice cream awesomeness (it’s a chocolate base with Snickers, caramel cup pieces and a salty caramel ribbon mixed in), but it’s one of the key ingredients featured in October’s Fright Night Scoop. The seasonal sundae includes a scoop of Candy Mashup, a Halloween sprinkle mix and a white chocolate zombie hand.

Along with the Fright Night Scoop, Baskin-Robbins is also serving up a bounty of limited-time Halloween-themed goodies, such as the Ghost Cake (a striped cake topped with buttercream ghosts, Kit-Kat pieces, chocolate drips, a Halloween sprinkle mix and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups), the Piñata Ghost Cake (Halloween sprinkles spill out when you slice this ghoulishly good cake) and a Spider Web Cookie Cake.

Just in case you don’t get enough candy-coated fun on Halloween day, visit participating Baskin-Robbins locations on Oct. 31 to Celebrate 31 and get ice cream scoops for $1.70 and two pre-packaged quarts for $7.99.

Me: You guys ready to dye eggs?

7. ::rubs hands evilly::

My kids have started removing one letter of bad words, so they can call each other names and not get in trouble.

So, I've decided to add one digit to the wifi password until they can be nice to each other.

Your move itches

8. 🤷‍♂️

Sure, I'll be the first dad to admit it: when I see group pictures of my daughter with the other bald babies at daycare, I lean on outfits to figure out which one is her.

— Henpecked Hal (@HenpeckedHal) April 17, 2019

My daughter calls a single slipper from a pair of slippers a "slip" and I'm never going to correct her.
