On this website under snacks is a delicious looking Chocolate mint bar...is this an item still available? I missed out on the cinnamon twists (Bummer ) by the time I found out about them, my center was sold out - and they were all sold to the same client! They ought to make a only 10 per person rule... well, I guess I can't blame them, they are a business. Anyway, anyone know the status of the mint bar? Is it good? If it is like the Smores bar I will love it, if it is like the Anytime bar - not my favorite. I did all 4 of the preplanned menus and really didn't get to try everything, but most meals not on the preplanned menu don't look that appetizing to me except the cookout chicken and beans which I loved! Anyway some of the snacks not on the preplanned menu look good. I tried the chocolate chip cookies and they tasted exactly like the toffee bites, pretty much looked like them too. Not bad, but not great either. Another question is can I double up on things I really like? Or do I have to choose 7 different snacks. I have been choosing 7, but I would really love 2 lemon cakes a week. YUMMY! I have a real sweet tooth and choose about 1/2 sweet and 1/2 savory snacks because that was how the preplanned menus were.

I liked the mint bar when I tried it a few weeks ago- so I was dissapointed last week when they didn't have any. It wasn't clear if they were coming back or not.

they are very similar to the smores bar- but I liked the mint one much better so I'm sad.
why does it seem only the good things dissappear?

The mint bar is gone. I'd double check with your JCC to make sure your center doesn't have any left but most centers have been out of them for a few weeks now if not longer. It was my favorite dessert and I'm sad w/o it. From what I understand, JC releases new items almost every month and those items only last until they are gone. So when something new is released, try it quickly and get a couple extra if you love it cause that's it for the item. Sometimes JC will release a temporary item as a permanent item if it sells well and has good reviews. So some things may come back in a few months and be part of the menu for good.

This month your center should have 2 new temp items. One is a pumpkin spice cake and one is a spaghetti w/ meatballs dinner. Both are very good and worth trying. Again these items will only be around for the next few weeks so add them to your rotation once they come in so you get to try them out.

As for if you can eat more than one of a certain type of dessert per week, the answer is YES. I eat 2 triple chocolate cheesecakes per week b/c it's my favorite. Generally it's better to have a more varied diet to prevent boredom, to make sure you aren't only choosing the highest calorie foods, etc. But lots of people have greater success choosing things that satisfy them. I say if it's easier to stick to JC when you get 2 lemon cakes, then get 2 lemon cakes.

Good luck!
