Carlo's Bakery Every Buddy's Birthday Cake

we had seen this thing at wal-mart for awhile & finally tried it.

it's 3 desserts in 1; new york-style cheesecake, vanilla confetti cake & blondie with toffee pieces. each layer was nothing special, and the icing was way too sweet. we like sweets, but this was too much.

if you licked some of the icing then breathed on a diabetic, you'd put them into diabetic coma.

pecan snickers

 it's something new my brother spotted at wal-mart. i don't know if it's a limited time thing or not.

it was very meh. not as good at the almond one, which is just OK.

they've had their original peanut, almond, creamy peanut butter, a white one (limited time) & now pecan. what's next? walnut? macadamia?

baked shrimp chips

 well, they're more like whatever crunchy cheetos are made from than chips.

they're from a brand called calbee & are some kind of japanese snack. we got them from target.

when they were first opened the shrimp/fish smell was strong. not in a "ugh! fish market." type of smell, but you knew it was shrimp-y.

the taste was more muted though, which is good. but it's nothing to get again.

white cheddar cheetos bones

 it's a limited time thing for halloween. i've seen them for the past few years, but never managed to get them before they were gone.

sadly, they were not worth the anticipation. more like the puffs than the crunchy ones. and another case of if you blindfolded me & i ate them, i could not tell you the flavor.

they have cinnamon ones too, we're not interested. but i imagine they're like the cinnamon twists at taco bell. although i've never had those.

maple brown sugar chex

 my brother saw this at target & wanted to get it.

overwhelming maple smell & taste. not brown sugar whatsoever. will not get again. the honey nut & peanut butter ones are much better.

as an aside; maple (with or without brown sugar) is an overlooked fall flavor with everyone doing pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon.
