Review & Release History of Rolling Pin Dubai Chocolate, Poptime Marshmallow & Cinnamon Popcorn, & More

Review

The taste itself is a creamy and chocolately cookies and cream-based flavor. Indeed, it does lean towards its chocolate side, and I especially love how both the chocolate and cream flavors themselves taste like genuine Oreo pieces.

Overall, it’s not super sweet by any means; it feels about right, though I wouldn’t mind a smidge more sugar. Notably, the taste didn’t feel artificial; however, it did feel like a “dollar store”-esque type of syrup, as if it were made cheaply–really, don’t expect a fully authentic crumbled Oreo taste and thick syrup, it moreso tastes off-brand, which isn’t bad necessarily.

The texture could be thicker, but it’s not overly runny. It’s weirdly goopy, likely from the binders and gums they use. Still, it’s not a bad mouthfeel by any means, but by the looks of it, it does look and feel fake on your tongue.

Overall, this syrup took me by surprise. It has a good, fairly accurate flavor and decent enough texture.

There’s a light cinnamon taste alongside a mild sugary sweetness. Is it precisely marshmallow I’m tasting? No. Is it super sweet or anything crazy? Again, no. It’s just pleasant, something you’d get for someone who wants to try a sweet and flavorful popcorn but doesn’t want anything too strong to start with. The standout part, really, is the cinnamon, which, while not too strong, is just enough to appreciate and keep snacking on more of it. It’s just disappointing that the marshmallow could have been turned up a few notches and would have made this so much better!

Flavors aside, the texture is soft and lightly crunchy, and has a dusting of brown cinnamon that lightly coats your hands. Overall, these have a good, decent mouthfeel and don’t feel too cheap.

Release Date

While I can’t find an exact release date, reviews date back to 2020. Found at Ocean State Job Lot mid-September 2025.

Where is that iconic, strong candy corn flavor? It’s nowhere to be found! In fact, this popcorn is basically a light to moderately sweet, sugary-tasting popcorn–and that’s speaking nicely of it! I’ve had much, much sweeter and tastier drizzled and dessert-based popcorns from many other brands, including from this one!

For whatever reason, Sweet Chaos dropped the ball here in terms of flavor and potential sweetness. At the very least, the texture is decent: it’s soft and lightly crunchy–an enjoyable mouthfeel.

Release Date

While I can’t find an exact release date, reviews date back to September 2022. Found mid-September 2025 at Dollar Tree.

Review

A mildly buttery dough resembling an empanada surrounds a generously filled helping of buffalo-tasting mac and cheese. Indeed, these are exactly as advertised, sort of. There is the cool and creamy buffalo taste alongside a decent kick that doesn’t push too far or linger too long. It’s authentic and not fake or cheap-tasting; however, there is a problem.

One thing that bothers me is that while the filling is thick and chunky, it is not necessarily creamy and is instead on the drier side. It’s like a canned soup you’re supposed to add liquid to. Despite warming it up thoroughly, the cheesy part felt more solid than liquid, as if it needed more moisture. Still, overall, these aren’t bad, just not as good as they could be.

I’m unable to find a release date. Found at Stop & Shop in early October 2025.

The first bite in, you’re met with a soft, sticky, lightly chewy, super sweet, moist, and gooey honey treat–yes, the combination of textures you get here is crazy! It’s such a super sweet honey treat–the thick honey, the soft, slightly stiff and chewy honeycomb–it’s got a great contrasting mouthfeel and flavor! It’s so thick and is more or less a honey bomb treat.

However, after the honey and flavor have dissolved, there is a bit of a chunky and chewy-type wax-like substance. It’s not bad, it’s just like a gritty gum with no flavor that eventually dissolves. It’s not at all overwhelming or too weird, just different.

Nonetheless, the entire thing is tasty and especially sweet, and I could absolutely see this paired with almost anything or eaten by itself! Basically, if you love honey, you’ll love this, and if you love sweets, this is definitely worth a shot too.

Review

Pumpkin spice without the spice! And really, this is kind of a good thing. It doesn’t have a huge kick that some other pumpkin spice-based treats have. Instead, this is an extraordinarily sweet and creamy chocolate truffle with a background of smooth pumpkin from the center that elevates the chocolate even more.

Basically, the combination of light pumpkin and sweet chocolate works very well together. You can also sort of make out the nuances of the pumpkin spice, but for the most part, these truffles are 80% sweet chocolate, and the rest is mostly a regular and creamy pumpkin flavor.

Like all other Lindt truffles, the shell is thick and soft, the filling is very creamy and thick, and the entire thing has a fulfilling, thick mouthfeel.

Release Date

I’m unsure of an initial release date, although several sources suggest a rerelease in August 2025. Found at Target in early October 2025.

Review

All the treats in here have the same texture and taste, and boy, is that texture interesting! It’s definitely puffed-up sugary candy corn pieces to say the least. They have this interesting and satisfying crunch as if they freeze-dried pure sugar blocks or frozen cotton candy, and right after you bite in, and it sits in your mouth, the crunchy bits start to melt in your mouth, leaving a pool of sweet candy corn-tasting sugariness. Just to note, they’re about the same sweetness and flavor as candy corn, but this time, they have a moderate and tasty crunch!

Release Date

Released in early October 2025 alongside other candy corn-based freeze-dried snacks. Found at Target in early October 2025.

Review

The primary flavor here is a semi-dark, moderately sweet, non-bitter dark chocolate. It’s a very pleasant, smooth, and milky chocolate, and if I had to compare its sweetness, it’s a little less than Hershey’s, but only by a smidge. Aside from that, there’s a very, very light, vague nuttiness, no explicit pistachio or anything else really. Essentially, a good piece of quality chocolate, not really a crazy Dubai treat or a strongly flavored snack per se.

The composition is deceptive. The filling seems chunky, but what you get is a thick, semi-crunchy shell and bits of tiny, soft-crunchy pieces in the center in a ganache-like form that feel like coconut shreds. The shell and crunchy shreds are nice, though nothing to write home about.

Release Date

The earliest mention I can find of this dates back to early June 2025. Found at Target in early October 2025.

Review

I immediately noticed that the filling is a soft, thick, uniform, and smooth pale green ganache paste. The truffle is stuffed with it, as the shell is pretty thin, sporting a snappy crunch. Overall, it’s creamy and easy to bite through, and with the crunchy thin shell, it’s a nice combo.

The taste, interestingly, is mostly a very light, cheap-tasting milk chocolate. I’ve had similar-tasting chocolate at dollar stores, such as Palmer, though this isn’t quite as sweet. It essentially has this chalky-like taste alongside its chocolate–not bad, but it’s clearly not a premium or even average quality chocolate by any means.

Also, the filing is lightly sugary and plain. There doesn’t seem to be a discernible flavor to it, so what you get with the entire truffle–despite the filling being generous and thick– is a mildly sweet chocolate taste. In fact, if you blindfolded me, I would have guessed this is a cheaper tasting milk chocolate-based truffle with some sort of lightly sugary, plain creamy center.

Overall, these come across as cheap; however, they aren’t bad by any means. It’s basically just a decent chocolately treat with a good mouthfeel from the shell and filling.

Review

These are similar to your regular Jet-Puffed marshmallows but with a mild pumpkin taste. I wouldn’t say it’s an explicit pumpkin spice because it’s missing that kick and nuance of flavors. It’s really just their regular sweet marshmallow with a smidge of pumpkin. They taste on the cheaper side, and I also really think they could have made the flavor more pronounced.

Like their other marshmallows, they’re soft and have a light coating of seasoning and sugar. Overall, these aren’t hugely different than their other marshmallows, though the pumpkin is a pleasant and different addition.

Release Date

Released in early September 2025. Found at Walmart in early October 2025.
