...until now!! oh am I ever unamused!! They have gone and ruined my favorite flavor! what we're they thinking! sure, its been awhile, but i never expected to be greeted by an overpowering cheap marshmallow flavor!One of my very first posts was about how I adore their rocky road...and now this!! shame on you Breyers. Guess I'll only be eating haagen-daz rocky road from now on.
On Second Scoop: I'm still unamused...I remember the swirl being more mild and not so cheap tasting...maybe I've just been spoiled by the last year of reviewing. The base chocolate is still fine, and the almonds are sparse like they've always been (which is ok with me), but man...this swirl...

I dislike all rocky road ice cream, but the funny thing is Haagen-Dazs Rocky Road is my second favorite ice cream after Amazon Valley Chocolate. The marshmallow isn't fake tasting and has a smooth liquid consistency unlike other gross fake tasting rocky road ice creams. I have to say Haagen-Dazs is the best store bought ice cream and I also love Laloo's goats milk ice cream black mission fig.
ReplyDeleteAs someone that really likes rocky road, the three part triumvirate that makes it great is 1) great chocolate flavor; 2) great almonds; and 3) real marshmallows (not marshmallow cream.)
ReplyDeleteThe contrast in consistency between the spongey marshmallows, the crunchy nuts and the creamy ice cream, combined with the flavors of all is what makes rocky road fans happy.
In my book, Blue Bell is the best overall and only store bought ice cream worth eating. All the rest use that nasty, cheap marshmallow cream.
Baskin Robbins is also great - with a darker chocolate flavor than Blue Bell's.
