Tried the chocolate sauce. Yuck. Tried the ranch Dressing. I mix it with Kraft dressing to reduce the calories further.

I would beg anyone to not buy the peanut butter, marshmellow stuff or anything else along those lines. They are just not good.
Their sauces and syrups seem to be the only 'decent' things worth trying.

I went on a Walden Farms bender and I think I bought everything on the website. I really like the pancake syrup and the BBQ sauce (although I do use it as a base and then add a bit of my regular BBQ sauce to it). My sister and niece love the caramel sauce, and the dressings and "mayo" were all pretty decent (ie: not amazing, but pretty good considering they have zero calories). The pancake syrup tastes dynamite over protein powder pancakes :)
Expensive additions to my garbage can included their peanut butter, the strawberry jam, and the ketchup.
(Third attempt at posting this, sorry if it's annoyingly repeated!)
That made me laugh - "expensive additions to my garbage can" - we've all been there, done that! lol

I get worried when "food" has zero calories. Imagine the chemicals needed to create such a thing!
I have had tastes of a few of their products, all of which I found completely vomit-worthy. Sorry.
If you feel you must, many high quality products have a "half-fat" version (i.e. Hellman's mayo, just as an example). I did the "low-fat" thing for a few months and then switched back to full-fat versions. The added ingredients to make things fat-free, low(er) fat... I didn't want in my system - no need for more sugar, more carbs, more sodium, just to make it low(er) fat.
Just my $0.02
