REVIEW: Häagan-Dazs Midnight Cookies & Cream







Well guys, it's been awhile since I let myself have ice cream haha. Also, it's been frikken cold in Illinois lately what with the snow and sometimes rain. I broke my ice cream fast when I snagged this flavor at Walgreens for around 5 bucks.

Pros: mild chocolatey base. Nicely-sized chocolate cookie mix-ins, and they were dispersed well enough so that each spoonful of ice cream had a piece of the brownie-like cookie. The mix-ins were the highlight for this flavor. Compared to the brownie mix-ins used in Ben & Jerry's, this had less of a flour-y taste to them, which I liked, but there weren't any outrageously huge chunks found like I usually find in B&J's.

Cons: none, but kinda boring, no surprises or an "OMG SO GOOD" reaction.

Rating: 4.5/5

Overall Thoughts: This was good, but I wasn't impressed. I didn't have trouble putting it back into the freezer. I can't think of a situation where I would buy this again, but I think that it performed well with the flavor and mix-in quality.

REVIEW: Häagan-Dazs Raspberry & Vanilla Milk Chocolate Bars





Pros: thick chocolate shell. Raspberry flavor didn't overpower the vanilla, but rather added a welcome tartly-sweet flavor note to it. I didn't encounter the raspberry swirls until the 2nd bite.

Cons: none

Rating: 4.5/5

Overall Thoughts: delicious treat that gave me the sense of guilty luxury. I don't think it rivals the awesomeness of the 5-star heavyhitters, but I highly enjoyed this, would highly recommend. A large step up from the ice cream bars of my youth.

REVIEW: Häagan-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Bars (Snack Size)




Pros: thick chocolate shell, liberal amounts of crunchy almonds, snack size encourages portion control, well packaged where the outer shell was fully intact

Cons: none

Rating: 4.5/5

Overall Thoughts: did a great job with the ice cream bar concept, but I don't think it belongs alongside the 5-star rated ice creams. I wasn't wow-ed by it. It was highly enjoyed, but it didn't drag my taste buds through euphoria. Maybe if it had chunks of their cookie dough in it haha, *wistful*.
