Blogmas Day 5: Scribbles About Food: Starbucks Christmas Tree Frap and Cranberry Bliss Bar

So I was excited to see Starbucks had a new Frap out for the holidays and I finally tried the Cranberry Bliss Bar... which I never thought I'd like but it was one of Gayle's favorite things in Oprah Magazine... and you know I love Gayle King- so I needed to give it a try! Christmas Tree Frappuccino  This is the best of the special limited edition frap that I've tried recently... and I like the Unicorn Frap and the Zombie Frap. This tasted like a mint candy. Like the inside of a Lindor Mint Truffle... that's what this tasted like. And on top they had a Matcha Whipped Cream, Dried Cranberry, and a Strawberry! The cranberry on top of the whipped cream was DELICIOUSLY Sweet and crunchy... it was perfect. I didn't end up eating the Strawberry on Top, but it did really make the frap look like a christmas tree. It was a really delicious combo of Mint and then when you got some of the Matcha Whipped Cream it was really nice... and then at the end I just got mostly Whip...

Scribbles About Food: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cheesecakes in Chocolate and Cherry

So Philadelphia just came out with these Individual Cheesecake spread things... they're in packaging similar to Chobani Flips... but they aren't something easily flip-able... if you want to mix the flavor in with the cheesecake you have to spoon it out and mix it that way... which I'll kind of talk about... but otherwise... it's a pretty good dessert. Something a little different and pretty yummy! The Chocolate one I mixed in with the cheesecake when I ate it... if I were to do something differently I would probably just put a little bit of the cheesecake on a spoon and then dip into the chocolate part... but idk. It wasn't quite enough chocolate for me when it was mixed in... I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake... but I do love chocolate and I think a little bit more chocolate would have helped this a little bit better... it would have been a little more chocolatey and a little bit better I think. Idk it wasn't my favorite thing... but I still liked it....
