Snacks: Deep Fried Cheesecake.

I had my heart set on Todai for dinner after class one night but knowing we didnt have any money for it, I went to my favorite Chinese place, Manchu Wok!

They started serving Deep Fried Cheesecake so I decided to give them a try.


I was expecting it to be bigger... other than that, the crust isn't flaky but chewy. Not tempura chewy, almost like rice wrapper chewy. Which is good, I'm not a fan of tempura! The filling was creamy and definitely tasted like Cheesecake but nothing over powering. The powdered sugar on top gave it a nice sweet touch.

I see going back for more of these in my future!

Snacks: Wal Mart Cookies N' Cream Brownie.

Last year I discovered this brownie sitting on the table and snagged a slice. After inhaling that, I snagged another... and another... and another...




I have been on the search for it ever since. But I haven't been able to find it! I know it came from Wal Mart and it was a Cookies N' Cream brownie. My husband thinks I'm crazy but I finally (just now) showed him this picture and his typical response? "Mmm." See, I wasn't crazy! It actually really existed!

I can't give you a real review right now because well... it's been about a year since I've had it. But it was delicious. I'm not a huge fan of brownies or Cookies N' Cream, but this was bearable. And addicting.

If any of you spot this at your local Wal Mart at any time, please please please let me know!

Snacks: Grocery Outlet find!

Last week my husband took me to The Grocery Outlet because I had never been there, at least not that I remember... so we were browsing and I was actually excited because a lot of things I buy at grocery stores on a every-other-day basis was there! And for $1.50! When I normally buy them for much more than that!

I went to go look at the ice cream because well.... hello, it's my favorite isle (so is frozen foods)! And I found this....!!



I must have screamed when I saw this! This was my all time favorite ice cream when I was a kid! I seriously have NOT seen this since the 90's! I was so excited! AND it was $1.50! Oh my gosh! Oh how I wish I wasn't on my to class so I could had picked up a few boxes and enjoyed them at home in all of its creamy, vanilla-y, crisp goodness!

I will definitely be going back for a few of boxes of these!

Snacks: Stawberried Peanut Butter M&M's.



I'm sure all of you have seen/heard about this. The M&M's that came out for Transformers this passed summer. I was a little hesitant to try this, only because I'm probably the only person in the world thinks that peanut butter & chocolate is the worst idea in the world.

Someone had told me that the peanut butter wasnt as strong in this one, so I gave it a shot.

They lied. If anything I tasted more peanut butter and chocolate than anything. Its like the strawberry wasnt even there! It had a slight strawberry after taste. I'm a huge fan of PB&J strawberry sandwiches too, so kinda thought it would be like that. Minus bread, add chocolate.

Totally disappointed =(. I ended up giving it to my boyfriend's siblings lol.

Snacks: Taco Bell Steak Bowl!

The Taco Bell Steak Bowl has been my comfort food on rainy days since 2002, they ended up discontinuing it a month or two ago, of course I was devastated! What will I order at Taco Bell now?! Sure they still have my beloved Nachos Bell Grande, but it does not replace my Steak Bowl at all!



Oh delicious Steak Bowl, you're already so very missed!

Snacks: Cakesters.

I know it's been awhile, I seemed to have forgotten my log in information!



Anyway, yesterday I had bought Nilla Cakesters in Strawberry. I've had my eyes on this for awhile. So I finally decided to try it out today...

It looks very close to the picture, good. The Nilla was really soft and alot bigger than a normal Nilla. The cream on the inside had a hint of strawberry and a cream texture but it left the feel of butter cream on your tongue. After I had the first one, I wanted another one (good thing they come in two's) but after the second one I felt a little sick to my stomach. It might be another week before I eat another one of these. Its one of those snacks.

Another thing I got was...

I saw these at Borders a few days ago and found them at Target. I love ALL things Hazelnut (which is sorta funny since its my name, at my previous job everyone called me Hazelnut). By the time I opened this up, the chocolate was a little melted (the bay area didnt get the memo that its now FALL). The chocolate was very creamy and milky. It was also really thick. Since the hazelnuts were roasted, it tasted a bit like almonds but with a hazelnut after taste. This however doesn't really taste any different than any other hazelnut chocolate bar I've tried.


I'm still trying to get the hang of this reviewing stuff... =)
