Default Walden Farms products - any reviews on the following?

I'm looking at ordering a few WF products. I haven't tried or read much about the following, so would appreciate some opinions from anyone who has tried.
1. Ranch dip
2. Garlic and Herb pasta sauce
3. Tomato Basil pasta sauce
4. Peanut Spread - either whipped or the chocolate flavored
5. Chocolate dip

Thanks!

YMMV of course!!
1. Ranch dip It's ok and kind of metalic
2. Garlic and Herb pasta sauce Haven't tried
3. Tomato Basil pasta sauce It's ok, I doctor it up with garlic and more basil, No matter what I do I can get rid of its off pink color!
4. Peanut Spread - either whipped or the chocolate flavored The Peanut Spread is my go to when I have the gotta have something (after I've tried drinking mooooorrrrrrreeeeeee water). Just a tablespoon takes the edge off. I also use it in recipes calling for PB, dip celery in it at lunch and mix 1 TBS Peanut Spread with 1 TBS Marshmello Dip - chill in freezer for a little "ice cream treat". I haven't tried or seen the chocolate PB.
5. Chocolate dip Not a chocolate fan so I haven't tried it. I do use the Caramel syrup in my coffee. Of all the WF products I've tried so far, to my taste buds the caramel syrup the only on that tastes like the original non_WF stuff.

Desperate for a rich tasting iced latte this weekend, I mixed left over cold coffee with crushed ice, some caramel syrup and a heaping TBS of WF marshmallow dip. It came out very tasty!!!! And a little chunky. Next time I'll mix the marshmallow in before I add the crushed ice.

1. Ranch dip - haven't tried this...
2. Garlic and Herb pasta sauce - nor this...
3. Tomato Basil pasta sauce - this was horrible. I didn't doctor it up though..when I baked with it, it had a weird texture...
4. Peanut Spread - either whipped or the chocolate flavored - peanut spread is horrible by itself. If you add spices to it, garlic, soy sauce, cheyenne, etc. it makes a good peanut sauce for chicken.
5. Chocolate dip - this is ok in small amounts. I've added it to my shakes and it isn't bad.

I am also of the opinion that your mileage may vary...if you doctor them up they can turn into something pretty good!

The only one I've tried is the tomato basil sauce, and I found it to be awful. I tried doctoring it a bit, but I couldn't get rid of the terrible taste, so the next day it went into the trash.

tried the whipped peanut butter and gagged! I am hesitant to try these products because they are basically water and they taste questionable but
that is just me

Once you've been low carbing for a while try them again. I only liked the thousand island when I started ip. Now I find I can make a pretty tasty spaghetti sauce with the tomato basil.

The Asian dressing makes a good stir fry sauce. The pancake syrup is very good.

I now use the WF Sesame Ginger dressing instead. It actually tastes like sesame ginger!

Thanks for everyone's help. I love Chicken Satay so am going to try and doctor up the PB a bit and see.
I also agree that most WF products I would never have eaten 4 months ago, but now I've found a few that I eat pretty regularly.
