Tastes low fat

I really wanted to love Halo Top. Of the flavours I've tried, candy bar might be the best, but that isn't saying much. I found it to be very icy rather than creamy, and as a dessert it wasn't very indulgent. I might be good for someone on a very strict diet, but I would rather eat a small scoop of real ice cream rather than an entire container of halo top.

Rather eat real ice cream

I didn’t lik this that much. I’d rather eat real ice cream. Just tasted gross and ice cream is supposed to make you happy. I get that it is low calorie but you can cut calories elsewhere to indulge in real ice cream.

Finally tried Halo Top

I have finally tried Halo Top frozen desserts after hearing about their low cal treats for a while. After sampling a few flavours, I think the Candy Bar is my favourite, because I like how natural the flavouring is and the peanut chunks are the best part!

Yuck

Myself, husband and 2 kids tried this, we all thought it was awful. It was very icy, not even close to ice cream consistency. It had an awful flavor that was nothning like a candy bar. I would never buy this again.

Good taste

This particular flavour wasn’t my favourite, but I did enjoy the little peanut pieces in it. It is a good option for a lower calorie ice cream treat though.

Not what i was expecting

I bought two flavors of this icecream because the packaging is so beautiful but i was quickly disapointed.
The texture is too "wet" for icecream it feels like its mostly air too
I did not taste much milk but i did taste too much sugar! I honestly dont care about calories i just want ice cream to taste good so if im going to pay $7 for a smallllll tub of icecream it better be loaded and decatant
Needless to say i am disapointed

Expensive for what it is

This product is ridiculously expensive, priced to compete with premium brands like Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Dazs. At $7 a pint, I will never purchase this again - I'll splurge for real Ben & Jerry's!

With that being said, this is a pretty tasty ice cream for ~350 calories/pint. The chocolate flavor of the "ice cream" is pretty good, and I love the chocolate sauce swirls. There are a few peanuts (I wish there were more, but I understand that peanuts are calorie dense!). The consistency is fairly good, but I wish it melted more like ice cream.
I don't particularly like the taste of artificial sweeteners, and unfortunately this flavor of Halo Top tastes quite a bit like artificial sweetener. If you are watching your calories and find yourself "indulging" often, Candy Bar Halo Top is a great low-cal option. Since I rarely eat ice cream, though, I'll probably stick to my twice-a-year-Ben&Jerry;'s.

Great flavour

This is the first time trying Halo since it arrived in Canada. The price has scared me from it. It is very expensive for a small container...more than Ben & Jerry's and Haagan Danz. This is great ice cream! I find that I don't eat as much, maybe because it know it is so expensive lol. It tastes just like a chocolate bar. I would buy this again, when on sale.

Tastes Artificial

I splurged on this $7 tiny pint of "ice cream" and was very disappointed. The flavor was very artificial. Tasted like sweetener. I found the price to be a bit high but have heard so many good things, was a waste.

HOW!?

Last night I went out and bought TEN pints of Halo Top (because why not?) and Taste tested them all (again, why not?).

Candy Bar was definitely my top 3, if not top 1. It’s stll too early to tell but it was so yummy! It’s packed with small peanuts and reminds me of a 3 muskateers with peanuts and some chocolate sauce.

My only issue with Halo Top is that it definitely doesn’t taste like real ice cream which is kind of a “duh” thing to say considering it’s 1/4 the calories of a normal pint, but you can really taste the stevia in some of the flavours, especially if you’re eating the whole pint (which you are, don’t lie). I found that Breyer’s did a much better job at mimicking real ice cream with their low cal ice cream. Their cookies and cream is to die for and Halo Top’s version doesn’t even sit in the same league.

All in all, I’m really happy with Halo Top and Candy Bar in particular. I definitely see myself buying this flavour again in the future.
