The beginning of the year is always a great time to try new products. It seems like everyone is releasing something new for those of us watching what we’re eating. I found a few that I really liked that I wanted to share….
Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates
I love these snacks! Made by our friends who make the yummy ice cream sandwiches, Skinny Cow has a new line of peanut butter and chocolate and caramel and chocolate candies. Inside the package, you get THREE of these chocolates for 130 calories.
In my house, these did NOT last long… they became an insistent snack, calling to me from the pantry. Buy these at your own risk! They’re that good!
Thai Kitchen Yellow Curry 10-Minute Simmer Sauce
I actually bought this product when I was back in Baltimore for Fitbloggin last September, but I only tried it for the first time this week!
It was SO easy to make a quick dinner with this sauce. You simply bring the sauce to a boil, then add raw chicken and let it simmer for 10 minutes. The coconut milk in the sauce makes the chicken REALLY tender and delicious. I added a LOT of spinach and a little onion to round out the dish.
Brad’s Raw Leafy Kale Chips
I found these bad boys at Whole Foods Market. They were on sale, and I was in the mood for a snack. They practically leapt into my basket as a result!
The name was SO stinkin’ cute… I knew which one I wanted to buy. ”Vampire Killer” was listed as a garlicky version, and I was instantly sold. These were crunchy and chip-like. I’d recommend portioning them out as soon as you get them home so that you eat them gradually… they’re REALLY good!
Pop Secret Popping Corn
Wait… popcorn is my product find? That’s such old news…
Well, it isn’t when you cook it in this fun microwave popper that I got for my birthday! It’s so easy to make this way, and it lacks all the excess sodium and fat. I seasoned the popcorn with a little bit of spices. Uh-mazing.
This was my first take, when I completely overfilled it. That popcorn was packed in there tightly, but still delish! To get your own popper like this, click here.
Vann’s Truffle Salt
Ladies and Gentleman, this product is why you read my blog. I am completely honored to introduce you to the most amazing seasoning I’ve purchased in a long time. You’ve probably picked up on my truffle obsession by now… and I’m hopeful that you’ve even tried my Fig-Prosciutto Pizza or my Baked Parmesan-Truffle Fries….
I know. I die for truffle… I can’t even begin to tell you how deliciously fragrant this salt is. To date, I’ve only eaten it on steamed green beans. I may or may not have opened it to smell it about 20 times since I bought it.
Wow… what an awesome find. Found this guy at TJ Maxx, but I know that they sell it at Williams-Sonoma and Sur La Table, too. Find some.
Pop Chips Katy’s Kettle Corn Chips
After seeing this chip pop up on Instagram for weeks, I finally spotted it in a Colorado retail store. And, to make it even better…. SuperTarget was handing out these cute little bags from Katy Perry herself.
Have you tried any delicious new products this year?

AHHHHHH – I want to try the Katy Pop Chips only b/c it’s like they’ve named a bag of chips after ME!!
I hope they sell them here in VA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I REALLLLLLY liked them, and was so excited to have that little mini-bag. Let me know what you think!
I love posts like this! Thanks for sharing some new products. I will have to look for those Pop Chips.
I love posting them! As I try new things I sort of save them up until I have enough to share. Glad to hear you like it! xoxo
oOo! I want to try the skinny cow choclate!! They’re ice cream sandwiches are pretty darn good.
I found it at my local grocery store. What’s strange is that Skinny Cow hasn’t updated their website with it yet… so may be hot off the press!
Holy smokes – I am so goin to try that curry sauce… I am so leary of jarred sauces like that so I am super stoked to read you liked it! Yum, yum!
If you are looking for spicy, I’d recommend the red curry version. I think it’s a little bit hotter. I thought it was great with spinach, onions, and a little quinoa.
I totally agree with you on the Skinny Cow chocolates. I cant keep them in the house they are that good!
I also love Brad’s Raw Leafy Kale…very yummy. The Vampire Slayer is awesome
Thanks for the popcorn popper recommendation. I was just looking to buy one. Any tips on doctoring up our popcorn? What do you use?
Hi Pam – I do all sorts of different things with popcorn. I like hot sauce on it and do that from time to time. I also have a few spice blends from Penzey’s that I like (Mural of Flavor + Dill Weed is a fave!) Molly McCheese is really good, and I just picked up a popcorn seasoning yesterday at Sur La Table that is Asiago and Cracked Black Pepper flavored (amazing!)
Great suggestions Kelly!
I’m looking up the popper and truffle salt right now!
Have you tried the truffle salt on the popcorn?
I haven’t tried the truffle salt on the popcorn yet, but I definitely need to try it! I also picked up some AWESOME Popcorn Seasoning yesterday from Sur La Table… Asiago and Cracked Black Pepper flavor. Unbelievably delish!
I just picked up Special K brownie bites, the blondie version, and yumm they are good! I want to try the skinny cow filled chocolates, the clusters are a favorite of mine too!
Oooooo… I haven’t seen the Special K brownies yet! I’m going to have to look for them! Thanks!
