Eggo Chocolatey Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

[New for Early 2025] The buttery maple version of this treat made a pretty good impression, and I've been thinking about trying this version ever since. It's time to crack open a box of....

Eggo Chocolatey Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

chocolate and brown butter flavored ice cream with chocolate chips, sandwiched between two brown butter waffle cookies

Wrapped and dated!

I forgot to read the description again. I thought this might be vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips, but it's definitely a very light brown-ish color. Also, I was expecting bigger chocolate chips.

I didn't have a ton of thoughts on this first sandwich other than being underwhelmed a bit. Before purchasing, I had started convincing myself that this would click in better than the maple version, but it didn't. It's not bad, but it's not an improvement.

I think the problem is that nothing is popping here. With the maple, you kind of focus in on the maple. Here, the chocolate/brown butter ice cream is super mild, and then the chips seems to be a non-factor.

To be clear, I'm not saying these are bad. What I'm saying is that while the waffle cookies are fun, they are still a dry cookie, and I was looking for something to counteract that dryness. I think a fudge swirl would probably help. The other alternative would be for bigger and more plentiful chocolatey chips to distract me from the cookies... at one point, I did consider rolling this sandwich in chocolate chips just for fun (and flavor). I should probably let my second sandwich temper more to see if that helps, but for now, I'm a bit meh on this variety.

On Second Scoop: Tomorrow probably!
