Walden FarmsCaramel Dessert Dip – Zero Calorie, Sugar Free, Keto & Fat Free Sweet Topping for Apples, Desserts & More – 12 oz Jar

I had high hopes for this marshmallow dip, but it was a huge disappointment in flavor and texture. First of all, when I opened it, it had been shipped on a hot summer day. So I thought the texture was thin and gelatinous like un-set jello because of the heat. Nope. That's just how it is. Even after refrigerating and shaking it vigorously, I would not say "smooth and creamy" describes this. I understand it's a "dip" and isn't supposed to compare to marshmallow fluff, but I was hoping for something in between like a thick sauce I could pour over my homemade keto ice cream. This is a bit too slimy and doesn't move like a dip or a sauce.I could have seen past the texture if the flavor was better. When it comes down to it, marshmallows basically taste like vanilla to me, and how can you possibly get vanilla flavor wrong? Somehow they managed. The intensely sour and bitter flavor doesn't even allow you to taste the sweetness you're expecting from this diet dessert topping. I've tried their chocolate, caramel, strawberry, blueberry, and pancake syrups as well. They all have the same sour and bitter flavor.Such a shame because I had high hopes for this brand that was recommended to me by my dietician. The glass bottle packaging and the nice graphics on the label, highlighting non-gmo and many other fine attributes I like to see in my processed food labels - all of it made me think this was going to be a game-changer that would get me through the halfway point of my weight loss journey. Sadly, I'll have to keep looking. I'd like to try their salad dressings to see if maybe something that's not intended as a dessert flavor will taste better, but all their stuff is so expensive, and at this point I don't want to throw good money after bad.

Does the marshmallow dip have a strange sourness to it? Yeah, admittedly, it does. So, why am I giving five stars? Because it serves the purpose that I bought it for. I got it to make a reduced calorie vanilla protein icing. It's vanilla protein powder, Walden Farms marshmallow dip, and powdered allulose/monkfruit sweetener. Once you mix in other ingredients, the sourness goes away. If you try to do the same and still feel that you taste a bit of sourness, a tiny amount of baking soda will do the trick. And I mean tiny, like 1/8th of a teaspoon. I'm glad that products like this exist to help me cut out empty calories and make room for more nutrient-dense foods in my diet while keeping the weight off.

Well, folks, I’ve been on this weight loss journey, trying to make responsible choices while still satisfying my sweet tooth. Enter: Walden Farms Caramel Dip. I saw the words “low calorie” and “low fat” and my heart did a little happy dance. I could almost taste that apple-and-caramel combo I’ve been craving. 🍏🍯The day finally came, and I could barely wait to open the box. The color? Spot on! A+ for caramel looks! But the excitement stopped there. As soon as I tilted the jar, I realized I might’ve been duped. This “dip”—and I use that term VERY loosely—is about as thick as skim milk. 🥛 I thought, “Okay, maybe it’ll taste amazing,” and proceeded to dip my apple slice.Friends, I could not make it to the sink fast enough to spit it out. It tasted like a science experiment gone wrong—an unholy mix of what-the-heck and why-is-this-happening. The saccharine aftertaste lingered like a bad decision at 3am, and caramel? Nowhere to be found.I thought, "Maybe it's just me?" So, I offered some to my adult daughter (without a word of warning). She gave me a look that said, "What did I ever do to deserve this?" She immediately spit it into the sink too.The kicker? I ordered three different flavors. They all look like runny milk, and I’m honestly too scared to open the others. 😬 At this point, I’d rather fork over $4 for the real deal with 180 calories and just plan for it. Or maybe that’s the secret to weight loss with this product—you end up avoiding food altogether after trying it!Save yourself the $18. Your tastebuds and stomach will thank you. 😅

Love 95% of Walden Farms condiments, sauces, etc. But, these are not great. Tastes very very off and not satisfying

I am very sorry to say that this chocolate dip is absolutely horrible! It has a very watery and unpleasant texture. It has all the bitterness and acidity of super dark chocolate without any significant chocolate flavor. It smells ok. The calorie content is amazing, but who cares because it tastes so bad I never want to eat it again!

This product is not good - simply put. The smell and after taste - and frankly the before and during taste - is just not pleasant. The sweetness is very strange, it’s a bit citrusy? Not at all reminiscent of chocolate. I think the caramel one would have been a better choice for me. That being said I was excited for this, bought the two pack and some of the dressings as well and am very much regretting this purchase. It smells and tastes like a warehouse and gives me a headache and does not at all agree with my stomach. May work for some but I can’t imagine who.

Please realize that these products are calorie free, and you will have to be open minded about taste. If you are on a serious diet, and are really making an effort to cut out the foods that are needlessly using up your calories then you will appreciate how amazing these products are. I would describe this Chocolate dip as tasting like Chocolate pudding with a slightly bitter after taste. I don't even care about the after taste, I'm just so thrilled I get to guiltlessly spoon something that nearly tastes like pudding into my mouth. It tastes great in greek yogurt! I even dip celery sticks into it. I eat extremely clean, and I miss all the sugary foods I gave up to keep my bodyfat at an extremely low percentage for bodybuilding. If you are in the same boat, get a hold of these products, they will save you from losing your sanity or bingeing on the bad stuff!

Little too sweet but it wasn’t terrible as an additive to a coffee treat
