I got the brownies and chocolate cake last time. They are ok. Definitely is not the best, but it if you are doing keto and craving a desert they might just save your diet.
They’re keto because they use sugar alcohols for sweeteners. I’m a Type 1 diabetic. As a child, I was ravaged by “sugar free” candy for years, until I learned what sugar alcohols do to you. Long story short, diarrhea. Very crampy diarrhea.
Neat fact, though: It comes out looking the same as it did going into the oven!
Can I get some regular brownies, sweetened the old-fashioned way? I won’t tell my endocrinologist if you won’t, Meh.
@laurengx3@pakopako Maple wine (and maple mead) is a thing. It has been described as the vilest alcoholic beverage known to mankind, but I suspect that the review was by someone who is a “wine is from grapes” purist. I have never tried it.
Fake healthy: palm oil, coconut oil, erythritol, stevia, sodium acid pyrophosphate, etc etc. Make your own cake with ingredients like butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. It’ll taste a heck of a lot better, and be healthier in the long run. Cook this gunk for that next office party where you foolishly volunteered to make something.
Ngl, I’ve only had a few of that brands products and they did not taste good to anyone in my family, not sure I would try a cake from them. Caveats, we only tried their pancake stuff and we did get it at this discount food store that gets loads of stuff that other stores give up trying to sell.
Made these today from a previous deal. Disgusting. I honestly can’t imagine anyone enjoying these. Wife and I both took a bite and threw the rest out. Wish I hadn’t wasted 3 eggs cooking them.

@Coldwyn are you saying they’re dry?

The frosting atop the Meh face looks more like something else…
@werehatrack … I’m going to graciously call it a hipster beanie
How did Meh get my baby picture?!!
Can we get some Birch Benders that’s not keto for us fatties for once?
@laurengx3 Every time I read “Birch benders”, I imagine a Canadian logger getting drunk off maple syrup.

@laurengx3 @pakopako @werehatrack “vilest alcoholic beverage known to mankind”… um, that’s Malört
@laurengx3 @pakopako @werehatrack now I want maple mead.
@laurengx3 @Noddy93 @pakopako @werehatrack this is correct.

Stevia can just go fuck itself.
@warpedrotors I’m not a fan of the off-minty aftertaste either.
Spotted in the grocery store just now with same or later dating

I gave my diabetic mom an order of brownies from a similar meh sale as a filler Xmas gift. She politely informed me never to buy them for her again.
