We tasted 10 brands of frozen mozzarella sticks and our least favorite was from Trader Joe's
We tried 10 brands of the frozen appetizer to find the best, trying sticks from Target, Costco, Walmart, Trader Joe's, Kroger, TGI Friday's, and more.After all, nothing beats biting into a crisp breadcrumb coating encasing an amorphous glob of gooey cheese that stretches into long strings as any crumbs not stuck on your fingers scatter across the table with abandon.
M&M's have been a candy staple since the 1940s (and might even be the most popular candy from when you were a kid). The bite-size candy is still going as strong as ever today. With dozens of limited-edition flavors throughout the years, we're always waiting for the next best M&M's to munch on!
© Courtesy M&M's Lucky for us, there's a brand-new flavor of M&M's coming later this year that we honestly can't wait for: M&M's White Chocolate Pretzel Snowballs.
It's Snow Perfect for the Holidays
There's no better combo than chocolate and pretzels. It's no wonder that so many different recipes include both ingredients, like the classic Chocolate Pretzel Rings or the M&M's Pretzel Cookies. They're even better during the holidays! I'll usually sneak in a few mint M&M's for good measure.
CO. by Colgate Has the "Cool" Oral-Care Products You Didn't Know You Needed
The dazzling Gen Z-targeted collection not only looks fabulous in any bathroom setup but includes some seriously innovative (and gentle) products, like a no-rinse stain remover.But I'm happy to report that I've been making incremental progress since my last cleaning a few months before all of New York City shut down in March 2020. I floss at nighttime and have even dipped into using mouthwash (I know, groundbreaking), but I'm still not exactly what you would call "thrilled" about oral care as a whole. That's where Colgate's new sub-brand targeted toward Gen Z and young Millennials (hello, me) called CO. by Colgate, comes in.
But the latest M&M's creation could be their most astounding yet, and it has all the chocolate and pretzels you'll ever need. The M&M's White Chocolate Pretzel Snowballs might be the perfect combo of salty and sweet. The new M&M's will be similar to the bestselling Pretzel M&M's—except with a white chocolate shell instead of milk chocolate. You know...like a snowball?
Then, a delicious pretzel-filled center awaits in each individual candy, and know I won't be able to stop after just one bag!
When Can I Get a Bag?
Unfortunately, this marvelous new flavor will not be available until September 2021. I know, I know! I'm upset, too.
But it's a limited-edition holiday flavor, so it's understandable (though that doesn't make waiting any easier). They'll be released in a 1.14 ounce Single bag, a 2.83 ounce Share Size bag and a 7.44 ounce Laydown Bag. Better scoop 'em up as soon as you can because who knows how long they'll be on the shelves!

Pull Off a Mouth-Watering All-Vegetable BBQ
Celebrated grill master and author Steven Raichlen talks to Shondaland about his new book, “How to Grill Vegetables,” and shares four original recipes. While we may associate outdoor cooking primarily with meats, there’s so much more to summer meals than hot dogs, chicken, and brisket. Vegetables and fruits positively shine on the grill, and there’s nothing like a little live fire to enhance their flavors, deepening them and even adding almost-meaty umami notes.In fact, I’m planning a summer cookout with friends and am planning an entirely vegan menu. And I doubt my meat-loving guests will even notice.
