Today I enjoyed a PBF favorite… a noodle bowl!
Noodle Bowl + Cheeeeeese
My bowl o’ pasta was a bit different today, as it did not include my beloved red sauce. Instead I opted for a cheesy sauce made with melted Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese wedge and Babybel cheese.
Laughing Cow + Babybel
The combination of the two cheese flavors was delicious and definitely stood out against the chopped spinach and lightly steamed broccoli I also included in the bowl.
Lunchtime!
Though my bowl of noodly goodness was pretty darn fantastic, something else managed to steal the show.
Oikos Caramel Greek Yogurt
So stinkin’ good!
Last week Stonyfield (the company that makes Oikos organic Greek yogurt) sent me some coupons to sample their new caramel and chocolate Greek yogurt.
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know I am basically in love with Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and fantastic protein content, so naturally I jumped at the chance to try the new dessert-like flavors.
All I can say is hoooooooly (organic) cow! 😀
Both flavors were incredibly delicious, though I think for the first time in my entire life I preferred the caramel variety to the chocolate.
I really liked how the caramel and chocolate “topping” was located at the bottom of the cup, because it allowed me to enjoy as much or as little of the sweetness I wanted to at any given bite. Gotta love a healthy way to satisfy that sweet tooth!

I love carmel with fruit and by itself, but I love carmel apple pie-so good!
I love chocolate in cookies. And oatmeal. My two faves…
I love Turtle Pecan ice cream and blizzards. YUM! Chocolate and carmel with pecans…yummy!
Chocolate mousse might be my favorite thing ever.
But when I’m trying to be a bit healthier in my desserts, I love a delicious chocolate smoothie made with chocolate protein powder and chocolate soymilk, with some peanut butter and a naner. Yum!
And I just became a fan of Stonyfield on Facebook- thanks for the recommendation!
I’ve had “chocolate” yogurt before and it wasn’t very good. I wonder if this one is the same. Hrm. I’d try it at least!
Favorite recipe with chocolate… Italian love cake!
Vanilla ice cream with caramel and walnuts on top!
i am a fan : )
If you are ever in Philly and have a chance to try Capogiro’s gelato, their dark chocolate, mexican chocolate, dulche de leche and caramel flavors of gelato are amazing.
I love chocolate-chip pancakes! Granted, I haven’t had them in quite awhile, I can still recall the very first time they graced my lips! It was on a family vacation when I was a child, and I was instantly hooked by how indulgent and flavorful they were! Yum.
My favorite chocolate recipe would have to be chocolate mousse. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl.
I love all things chocolate, are you kidding?! I had some chocolate frozen yogurt at lunch today and it was delicious! 🙂
Once a week I get a light caramel frappacino from Starbucks. The best part is that drizzle of caramel on the top. Mmmm.
I LOVE Death by Chocolate. If you’ve never had it before.. you should definitely try it.. ASAP. It’s basically layers of chocolate cake, whip cream, pudding, sometimes chocolate crumbles and chocolate syrup. It’s topped with pieces of heath bar. By far my favorite food with chocolate.
I also just became a fan of Stonyfield Farms on Facebook!
My fav caramel recipe is a great one to bring to summer parties: You take some plain whipped cream cheese and mold it into a mound into the center of a dip dish. Then you drizzle caramel sauce allllll over it and sprinkle toasted walnuts on top. Serve it as a dipper for sliced granny smith or any tart apples. SOOO yummy!

I think the caramel will probably beat the chocolate for me too (haven’t tried it yet) just because it sounds like a better mix-in for yogurt.
How about fudgy brownies drizzled with caramel and served with caramel ice cream? Yeah, I think that sounds good.
What dish? A big dish of vanilla ice cream slathered with chocolate syrup and caramel. Perfection!
Not very original but I LOVE caramel on vanilla bean ice cream!
I really would love to buy a Twix bar to get both of them in, but I think I am too old to let myself.
brownies!!! need i say more lol
Vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and caramel and whipped cream! Might not be the healthiest snack but there aren’t too many with caramel and chocolate!
Vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips!
One of my favorite desserts ever is Better Than Sex cake and it has both chocolate AND caramel in it. Omg, it is so amazing!! 🙂
Awesome giveaway! My favourite chocolate dish would be brownies for sure – the really dense and fudgey ones. As for caramel, I would basically eat it with a spoon if I kept it in my house!!

My favorite is caramel apples! They’re soo good!
I love Caramel Apples!

Wow, thanks for such a great giveaway! I’m a chocolate lover so I’d have to say my favorite chocolate thing is fudgy, gooey, barely-baked chocolate brownies!
My all time fav is a peanut butter (all melty of course) and fluff on toast. mmmm!!!
Graham crackers with peanut butter and chocolate chips. Mmmm!!!
Chocolate lava cake! With vanilla ice cream!
I personally love adding a handful of chocolate chips to my peanut butter protein shake, if my sweet tooth is calling out. 🙂
Caramel chocolate cheesecake. Mmm!
Caramel brownies!
dulce de leche flavored ice cream! YUM
i love caramel in ice cream!
I LOVE caramel with pretty much anything. Fruit, ice cream, droool!
I love that it is separate from the yogurt. I love getting to choose how much or how little to add.
BTW, I noticed your blog on the daily spark! Very cool. Especially since SparkPeople is the reason for my weight loss!
I’m a turtle cheesecake FREAK!! It combines chocolate AND caramel and is just TO DIE FOR!
i’m a fan of stonyfield on facebook 🙂
Wow, yum. I am gluten free so thank goodness chocolate is naturally gluten free! 🙂
My favorite though is chocolate covered gluten free pretzels or chocolate sauce drizzled over frozen soft serve yogurt. I am a frozen yogurt addict.
My favorite chocolate addiction right now is the new Chocolate Cheerios. I should try some in caramel Oikos – I bet it would be delicious!
