Review: Ben & Jerry's - Coffee Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream is fairly simple with pieces of Heath candy bars mixed into coffee ice cream.

I normally pick up a pint of Ben & Jerry's on sale between $2.50 to $3.50. It was really hot today, so I thought I'd enjoy some ice cream.

Review: Starbucks - Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino

Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino features coffee blended with mocha sauce and toffee-nut-flavored syrup, milk, and ice. It's then topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and a mixture of turbinado sugar and sea salt.

A local Starbucks was giving free samples in little cups so I gave it a try.

It's a little early for Halloween, but for those who are willing to go full-on Jack Sparrow (i.e. dress like a pirate), will be rewarded with a full dozen free Original Glazed Donuts.

Review: Arby's - Turkey Classic

Arby's Turkey Classic is part of their new Turkey Roasters line and is basically the roast turkey version of the Roast Beef Classic.

For $2.99, you get a good amount of warm, sliced roast turkey on a toasted sesame bun. You can ask for mayo, ranch, or honey mustard to go with it.

Review: Taco Bell - A.M. Crunchwrap

Taco Bell's A.M. Crunchwrap is the new "cornerstone" to Taco Bell's First Meal breakfast menu. Upon first glance, it seems pretty typical: a slight variant on a breakfast burrito as a flour tortilla is folded into a hexagonal shape and pressed with a filling of scrambled eggs, your choice of bacon or sausage, cheese, and a hash brown for $2.49. But, it has its surprises.

To accompany the shake, Red Robin suggests Warm Pretzel Bites, warm, soft pretzel bites served with Merkts beer cheese dip and tangy beef mustard.
