Where The FORK is the Peanut Butter in New Russell Stover Joy Bites? Joy Bites? More like OY bites.

I came across these NEW Russell Stover sugar free peanut butter chocolate bars at my local Safeway grocery store. I didn’t even read the package but I thought the chocolate bar looked very appetizing in the picture. LOOK at all that peanut butter in the picture below. It looks so scrumptious!

I normally would never buy this brand of chocolate because I used to not like it but I thought this must be a new recipe because it looks so delicious on the package. Then when I got it home we cracked it open and ate two of the sections of the chocolate bar.

It really isn’t bad for sugar free chocolate. It melts in the mouth and can pass as sweetened with sugar…..but……….

…..Where The FORK is the Peanut Butter?

Joy Bites?

More like remove the “J” and you get OY bites. In addition to NO SUGAR added there is NO PEANUT BUTTER ADDED.

I contacted Russell Stover on Facebook and Instagram on this matter and got nothing from them…..Just like the same amount of no peanut butter that I didn’t get from them.

Where the FORK is the peanut butter in Joy Bites?

Remove the “J” from Joy Bites and you are left with oy bites.

And that’s The FORKING Truth.

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – A variety of BACON JAM….Midwest bacon jam in regular and spicy. TBJ uncured bacon jam in sweet and savory. It might be something to squeal about?

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Deep Brand curry and biryani paste. Better names for these products might be “Curry in a Hurry” & “Biryani Boosting sauce”

NEW – Kettle Brand Crinkle Cut Habanero Lime Potato Chips….????? Could go either way????

DIFFERENT – Pan’s Mushroom Jerky in Zesty Thai flavor…..I saw this on Shark Tank. I wanted to try this but I think that 2.2 ounce bag cost around $9.00 so I changed my mind. The illustration of the mushrooms does weird things to the eyes so don’t look at them for too long.

DIFFERENT and maybe WEIRD – Foreal Foods Coconut jerky….Sounds a little weird.

So far there has always been either a NEW or LIMITED EDITION Oreo

LIMITED EDITION – Nabisco artificially flavored strawberry frosted donut with edible glitter. I’m so glad that they used edible glitter instead of the normal inedible glitter. Maybe these cookies with the artificial flavor and glitter will make you fart a cloud of sparkles.

Well that was the NEW, Weird, Different, Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for August 2021. Who knows WTFork I’ll come across next month.

NEW WeIRED difFERENt Limited and Special Edition Foods out there June 2021

There is always something New, Weird, Different, Limited, and Special Edition out there in the wonderful world of food. We just never know WTFork we’ll see these days.

Up above is……

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW to stores – Cheesecake Factory famous brown bread. It looks like squishy bread. I wonder if it’s made with cheese cake cheese?

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Egglife southwest style egg white wraps……I’m thinking that these wraps might be thin omelets in a package that they are selling as wraps?

They also come in Italian Flavored. I was going to try a pack but they were a day from expired so I moved on.

DIFFERENT – Egglife Italian egg white wraps… Look at the top of package. It no flour so isn’t this a Forking omelet? I guess nobody would buy thin omelets in a package….But any dumb bunny would buy a wrap.

NEW – Pillsbury soft baked cookies in peanut butter with chocolatey drizzle, chocolate chip, and sugar with drizzled icing. If you enjoy the pillsbury ready to bake cookie dough than hopefully you will like these cookies that are ready to eat.

NEW and possibly WEIRD – Sun-Maid Bites in P.B. & J., Birthday Cake, and S’Mores…This seems very strange to me…Raisins just don’t go into certain things….I doubt anyone really wants them in birthday cake……

DIFFERENT – Food should taste good sweet potato tortilla chips. It says best chip for any dip on the bag. Who knows…maybe it is?

DIFFERENT – WinCo Kettle cooked smoked gouda flavored potato chips with “OTHER” natural flavors. ?????Smoked gouda flavor with OTHER flavors?????? Other can be ANY FORKING THING………Old shoe, road kill, cat vomit, cow farts…….

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Lay’s kettle cooked potato chips in flaming hot limon flavor????? I like lemon and I like hot….????????

DIFFERENT possibly WEIRD and maybe NEW – Good Health(?) Monster Shaped Veggie Chips. They look like cartoon teeth to me.???? Whatever

DIFFERENT and WEIRD – WinCo prime rib and horseradish naturally and artificially flavored potato chips. I have a beef about that I noticed that there isn’t any beef in these chips so how can they be prime rib flavored???????

DIFFERENT – WinCo chili lime potato chips….Well at least they are natural flavored like they should be so they are worthy of a try.

NEW – Mt. Olive Pickle Salsa in mild, medium, and hot. For when you always wished that pickles and salsa were mixed together.

NEW – Mt. Olive real dill pickle juicers…..For when you simply want to be pickled…I guess…..

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Post DUNKIN cereal in caramel macchiato made with DUNKIN Coffee……..It sounds like a beverage that is not for kids……Don’t know if many adults will buy this????

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Post DUNKIN mocha latte cereal made with DUNKIN coffee. Maybe this is an alternate buzz????? I would never eat this…

NEW and possibly LIMITED EDITION – Kellogg’s Together with Pride Cereal……??????????? This can have so many meanings…….

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – General Mills cinnamon toast chocolate churros cereal. This one sounds tasty but the churro cartoon guys look more like macaronis.

NEW or is it OLD??????…General Mills Golden Grahams but of the Retro Recipe made with real honey….I’d be afraid to eat this. It might be cereal leftover from the 80’s or the 70’s that they dug up and decided to sell as retro.

LIMITED EDITION – General Mills Chocolate/Strawberry Cheerios. This one sounded delicious until I read the box that reads…….with “OTHER” natural flavors….That can be very scary. Other natural flavors could be nasty….

NEW – Duke’s Mayonnaise in Habanero Garlic, Fire Roasted Red Pepper, Cucumber Dill, and Bacon and Tomato………I FORKING Know that these sauces are mayonnaise based but when they add all those flavors to the mayonnaise it isn’t really mayonnaise anymore and is either dip or a dressing…….Isn’t it?

NEW – Sun Maid pure milk chocolate and peanut nutter covered raisins???? Might be good? Sounds better than birthday cake flavored …….any who-

NEW – Jet Puffed Bites – Marshmallows covered in sprinkles as Birthday cake, Chocolate covered and Chocolate mint covered…50/50……Might be good?

NEW Limited Time Only Available at Safeway…..Rockin Nut Road M&M’s…….My husband picked them up for me……….They taste sort of like peanut M&M’s that are an off batch…..Very similar but with an added OFF taste. My husband won’t eat them so I have to toss the bag out.

LIMITED EDITION – KitKat in fruity cereal flavor…..IDK? Some KitKats are good and some are not good…..I think if I wanted FORKING Fruity Cereal…I’d eat cereal and not a fruity cereal flavored KitKat….Well that’s just me….You might differ.

NEW – Drizzilicious – S’Mores mini rice cakes with dark chocolate drizzle….might be good! I bought the other flavor and it was good!

NEW – Drizzilicious – mini rice cakes with cinnamon swirl white chocolate drizzle…These surprised me….They really are good and only 90 calories for almost half the bag or 21 mini rice cakes.

DIFFERENT and possibly NEW – Ben & Jerry’s Justice Remix’d ice cream. It’s Cinnamon and chocolate ice creams with cinnamon bun dough and spicy fudge brownies. I think this ice cream would be so much better if they mixed in fresh baked cinnamon buns instead of raw cinnamon bun dough. I think raw cinnamon bun dough sounds HORRIBLE….LISTEN WORLD !!!!!! NOBODY FORKING EATS RAW CINNAMON BUN DOUGH. Someone must have been on drugs to think up this flavor.

There is always a New or Limited Edition Oreo Cookie.

LIMITED EDITION – Nabisco Oreo Cookies with THREE layers of cream AND popping candy…..so you can do banging farts that come out striped.

LIMITED EDITION – NBA Dy-Nasty….opps..my bad…….I mean Dynasty Oreos. Same old flavor. They just look different.

That was the New, Weird, Different, Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for June 2021. Who knows WTFork I’ll come across next month?

My Forking Thoughts on Universal Yums – Turkey 2021

Universal Yums is a gift or subscription service for a box of international snacks. You have a few different size choices.

I get the basic Yum Box and it comes with a booklet of facts, trivia, a recipe and information about my snacks.

Lets try a snack.

Ummmm…Now these are tasty! They are little cookies filled with a chocolaty filling that is laced with a small amount of hazelnut and tahini. These are tasty…Now they are gone.

We got a Yum bag with Mastic Toffees and Melon and Lime Chews.

Oh joy……..(not really)…Turkish sour watermelon gummies. I just don’t do gummies and ESPECIALLY Don’t FORKING do sour gummies. But I will ask my husband to eat one.

Next is a coconut & coffee snowball cake.

I like coconut but never liked coffee so far. I thought maybe I haven’t had good coffee yet and that is why I don’t like coffee? I tried two bites. I think I would like this if I liked coffee. The cake is moist with a nice texture and the exterior is very unique. The center cream isn’t terrible. I would like this if I liked coffee, Coffee just taste like bitter coffee grinds to me……

Next……

Baharat spiced cracker chips in taco flavor…??? They are odd to us….They are very powdery chippy crackers……..The powder texture sort of bothers me more than the odd flavors….They are very salty, they are onion-ee, there is sweetness to them, They finish very sweet….They sort of stick to my teeth.

Only two treats left….

Here’s tahini halva…..Not bad…It seems like light fluffy frosting that taste like sesame seeds instead of something too sweet.

Last treat

These are just plain chickpeas that are salted. These are GOOD! The texture doesn’t break my teeth like most bagged chickpea snacks. These you can actually eat in salad and do have a nice natural chickpea flavor. These I would buy if I saw in the store.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Universal Yums – Turkey 2021

My Forking Thoughts on Fudge Brownie M&M’s

When a new M&M comes out I just feel like I have to try it even if it rolls out during the pandemic. Armed with onion googles and a mask I risk death by entering an empty CVS store to purchase the last two bags of Fudge Brownie M&M’s. They were on sale for two bags for $5.00 and apparently they were sold out fast.

I get home open up the bag and take a whiff…Ummm it smells just like a bag of brownies.

I pour some out and I see that they are large for M&M’s and they are very irregular and sort of lumpy in shape. They come in the usual M&M colors yellow, orange, red, brown and blue.

I eat one.

It’s really different……It’s chewy….like a caramel-ee chewy brownie. It really does taste like a brownie….It’s the usual candy shell with the usual chocolate inside and the center is like a lump of chewy brownie….but it feels like it’s mixed with a non sticking caramel.

I eat a few more because they are pretty good tasting.

But the shells are melting in my hand.

HEY WTFork! That is not suppose to happen!

Maybe I got a defective bag?

Well they taste good. Gotta be happy with that.

Worth a try!

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Fudge Brownie M&M’s.

My Forking Thoughts on White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie M&M’s – WTFORK it tastes like……….

These White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie M&M’s were out perviously (last fall or the fall before I forget) but this is one flavor I skipped. I thought I’d try them this year.

I start by opening the bag and taking a whiff.

I see that I got lots of broken pieces of M&M’s all over.

They are mostly larger and slightly irregular in shape….compared to standard M&M’s. They come in colors of white, orange and a brown that looks just like dog doo colored.

Now I smell them.

It smells familiar………sort of like a spice cookie but with sour cream cheese frosting.

I taste one…this is kinda gross………It’s really greasy……Maybe I just got a bad batch…..or maybe these spoiled in the truck making its way to 110 degree F Phoenix.

This taste like FORKING greasy artificial GINGER BREAD with molasses and sour cream cheese frosting.

This doesn’t taste like Pumpkin Pie.

I wonder if this flavor was concocted from other leftover flavors?

I don’t know WTFork they’ve done here but I imagine that it could be possible that I am tasting some sort of carrot cake flavor that is possibly mixed with gingerbread.

This one just doesn’t taste good.

There’s an unpleasant after taste from this one.

BLECH! These are sickening!…….and they are greasy gross.

On the bright side I know that I am not going to gain any weight from these M&M’s.

I have to give these White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie M&M’s a Not Worth a Fork!

NOT WORTH A FORK!

Taste is subjective and your opinion and experience may indeed differ.

My Forking Thoughts on Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&M’s from Target – Worth a Fork!

I saw these NEW Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&M’s at my local Target Store. These Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&M’s are exclusive to Target Stores. This flavor is described on the package as a cocoa crisp center with a layer of dark chocolate. I look at the package and notice that this is the first new or limited edition flavor of M&M’s in a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG Time…….maybe many years (or decades) that doesn’t say with artificial flavor on the front of package.

I look at the ingredients…..and get excited……..Looks very promising…..

I open the package up and take a sniff.

It smells just like a bag of chocolate chips.

I pour some M&M’s out.

These are smaller sized and slightly irregular in shape. They come in colors of yellow, red and brown.

I eat one……Ummmm It’s chocolatey and crunchy. It reminds me of the “Crispy” variety of M&M’s but it taste like chocolate chips and a little bit of hot cocoa flavor.

I eat another and let this one melt in my mouth. It had the usual sweet candy shell. Then I’m left with chocolate that taste like a chocolate chip. Then the chocolate melts away and I’m left with a small crispy chocolate cereal lump in my mouth. The chocolate lump taste similar to what I think I remember a cocoa puff taste like. (it’s been decades since I ate a Cocoa Puff)

I bit into a few so you can see what they look like inside.

DANG !!!!!!! It’s Forking easy to keep eating them. They seem lighter and airier than regular M&M’s with a good chocolate taste……They have the right amount of sweetness, salt and are ever so slightly bitter with that chocolate chip flavor and a smidgen of hot cocoa…… It’s actually hard to stop eating them!

I’d say these new Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&M’s are Worth a Fork! These are good enough to be a permanent M&M flavor.

Worth a Fork!

My opinion may indeed differ from yours.
