I'm not a fan of this lemon pie filling. It has way to much sugar and has little crystals in it. I prefer Jello brand because it has a more natural lemon flavour and is buttery in a pie. Shirriff has much better chocolate pudding, but the lemon...   +

These brownies are great as an afternoon snack with coffee or milk. The size is just right, the icing and cake are very moist and chocolatey. Always good to keep a box in the house for those times when you need something sweet.

Twinkies are a thing from my childhood. I used to see them advertised in comic books all of the time. They are unique in shape and texture. The cake is sponge like and the cream filling is nice and gooey. I can't find them in Canada anymore. I...   +

I used to find these at all the stores, but lately they are not available around here. I love these little cupcakes. The chocolate cake is soft and moist, the crème filling is nice and light, the frosting is not too sweet. They are great for...   +

I try to buy a tray of these every time I go to Walmart. The container is large and for 5 buck you get a lot of these tasty little strudels. The cherry filling is very good, the pastry is light and moist. I hope they will make some with blueberry...   +

I thought I'd like these tender cookies, but unfortunately they have a very strange texture. You can bend them and when you chew them it's almost like a grainy playdoh. The chocolate is not very pronounced and the size is thin and small. Not a...   +

These rice krispy squares are good if you don't have the time to make them. However, they are a tad too sweet and they are small so can go through a box pretty quickly. I prefer to make the homemade kind and add real butter and marshmallows to the...   +

These are absolutely my favorite boxed cookies. The chocolate is very high quality, has the right texture and the caramel filling is not too sweet. I also like the size and texture of the cookie. I always get a few boxes when they go on sale.

I've had Nielson chocolate milk a few times and it always tastes too watery. The chocolate is very artificial tasting. It is not something that I would purchase again. They need to add more fat content to it.

I'm a fan of the regular cheerios, but in the evening when I feel for something chocolatey I opted for a bowl of chocolate flavoured cheerios. Same crunchy feel and it turns your milk brown. Very good.
