News: Dairy Queen - November Blizzard of the Month - Caramel Nut Roll

What's a Caramel Nut Roll? I would guess some sort of baked good but it's also Dairy Queen's November Blizzard of the Month.

The Caramel Nut Roll Blizzard features vanilla soft serve with caramel, peanuts, and marshmallow blended in. It's only available for the month of November.

Dairy Queen is also serving up a more savory promotion this month: the "Cheeseburger Lovers" promotion where you can buy two Original Cheeseburgers for $2.49 or two Original Double Cheeseburgers for $3.49.

Caramel Nut Roll is also Dairy Queen's featured Blizzard Cake for the month.

News: Baskin-Robbins - Winter Chocolate Marshmallow - November 2011 Flavor of the Month

Baskin-Robbins is going seasonal with their November Flavor of the Month: Winter Chocolate Marshmallow ice cream.

Winter Chocolate Marshmallow ice cream features hot chocolate flavored ice cream (wouldn't that be less chocolaty than regular chocolate ice cream?) with a whipped cream ribbon and marshmallow dough.

It's basically hot chocolate but made into ice cream. Couldn't they have just called it "holiday hot chocolate?"

It's available through the end of November and as always you can try a sample spoon to help you decide.

Review: Twin Dragon - Almond Cookies

These might seem like an international item but Twin Dragon Almond Cookies are made here in the States.

Normally they have half an almond affixed to the top of the cookie but I found these with diced almonds on the cheap for $1.09 for an 8-ounce box (compared to $2.99 for a 16-ounce box of the ones with almonds on top).

International Weekend: Bouvard - Vanilla Wafers

Bouvard Vanilla Wafers come from France. The box states that the French call them "Langue du chat" or "Cat's Tongue" due to the shape of the wafers.

I picked up a 100g (3.5-ounce) box for $1.99.

Frozen Friday: Stouffer's - Meatball Italiano Toasted Sub

Stouffer's Meatball Italiano Toasted Sub features your classic meatball sub but frozen and ready to be microwaved. Specifically, it features Italian seasoned meatballs with grilled red and green peppers, onions, mozzarella and marinara sauce on Italian bread.

You can pick up a box for around $3.99 or about $2.00 to $2.50 on sale.

Review: KFC - Cheesy Bacon Bowl

KFC's new Cheesy Bacon Bowl features their KFC Famous Bowl (Popcorn Chicken, cheese, gravy, corn atop a bed of mashed potatoes) topped with a generous sprinkle of bacon bits. You know, because bacon makes everything better.

It's available for a limited-time for the promotional price of $3.99 but I got mine free courtesy of KFC.

Review: Burger King - Mushroom & Swiss BK Topper

Burger King's new, limited time Mushroom & Swiss BK Topper features a thicker 3.2-ounce beef patty topped with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and Griller sauce on a sesame seed bun.

If that seems interesting to you, it'll cost $1.99 to pick one up.

Review: Burger King - Deluxe BK Topper Burger

The Deluxe BK Topper is a Big Mac-like burger that's part of Burger King's new, limited-time BK Toppers line. It comes with a 3.2-ounce burger patty topped with American cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and Stacker sauce on a sesame seed bun.

It offers a decent value at $1.99 for a slightly thicker, larger patty (versus 2-ounce for the regular BK patty) without reaming the bottom line for BK franchisees.
