The only time...Amanda, thank you for the question. The only time that I have splurged is on Ben and Jerry's and that was once, but I would do it again just to try new flavors because I find Ben and Jerry's a little overrated. As of now, I want to try Chip Happens and Netflix and Chilled because I the combination of sweet and salty and because peanut butter is my absolute favorite base. All of the other times I just buy whatever is affordable for me. None of the grocery stores around here carry the companies you mentioned, so I cannot say for sure if I would splurge on them. Based on what is available to me and based on past experiences I would splurge on both So Delicious and Graeters because I have never had a bad product from either of those two companies. I would also splurge on the new Cheesecake Factory pints because I have heard nothing but positive feedback about their creations. Finally, I would also splurge on Halo Top and Arctic Zero products due to their low calorie content and due to the fact that I like to eat unhealthy amounts of frozen treats so I wouldn't mind paying extra for something a little better for the body.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454139516654776860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-60434369246517365562020-07-09T12:44:08.847-04:002020-07-09T12:44:08.847-04:00@Mark--can you give me a brand or specific pint th...@Mark--can you give me a brand or specific pint that you would splurge on? I find myself relegated to the extremely expensive online specialty ice creams (e.g. from Goldbelly) if I really want something other than the standard grocery store freezer aisle. Are you a Salt-and-Straw or Jenny's Ice Cream kind of guy? Maybe a McConnel's or an Ample Hills? I envy the IG posters' accounts of their local ice cream shoppes, especially some people in the NOLA area. (You might want to check out Lolly's.) In the meantime, this CTC frozen dessert may be worth it--from all of other reviews I have come across, it has been a fairly consistent "thumbs up."

Most of the reviews on the site fall into that category so I rarely expect the reviews to be highly scored or rated. I take more issue with brands that purport to be on the upper end (if by price if nothing else) but seem to have taken a step back or never really nailed their offerings like Talenti and Coolhaus.

However, these new flavor do not bring anything new or exciting to the table as we have had marshmallows and marshmallow fluff swirls in ice cream before, as well as cinnamon ice creams and cinnamon flavored mix ins such as swirls, cinnamon bun dough, carrot cake pieces and churro pieces. I will spend my money on something more exciting until these are discontinued and marked down for clearance.

The Lucky Charms one does not sound good...I can't imaging it would be anything but bland.<br /><br />I wonder what other cereals might work:<br />1. Oreo Os: Yes<br />2. Fruit Loops/Trix: Unlikely, as citrus-ish flavors and ice cream aren't usually a great combo<br />3. Cheerios: No<br />4. Apple Jacks: Doubtful<br />5. Cap'n Crunch: This has actually been done in high end restaurants (I think one of the finalists on Top Chef used Capn Crunch ice cream in his final menu one year); So yes<br />6. Rice Krispies: Maype, I would wonder if Rice Krispy treat ice cream could be made to work, although I assume it would have been done by now if so<br />7.Cocoa puffs: Maybe<br />8. Cookie crisp: Probably not; I would bet it would be similar to the Chips Ahoy blizzard which just tasted like processed nothingness<br />9. Grape Nuts: They sell this in Maine, and it actually is good believe it or not<br />10. Cracklin Oat Bran: I'm convinced this would work<br />11.

Can't say whether it captured the cereal's flavor (it's been too long since I had it), but it was good (with Dreyers level expectations) as a cinnamony ice cream, and even included some crunchy pieces that added some texture, while the base, swirl and crunchy pieces managed to taste different from each other. I liked it more than the Breyers Cinnabon that came out around the same time, but I also honestly kind of forgot about CTC after buying a second one when it was on sale...a few months ago? I might buy one the next time it's on sale, but it wasn't good enough to jump into my regular rotation, as I kind of forget that it's still available. Perhaps a little bit of that was not wanting to get attached to something that I expected to be gone after a few months, but had I really loved it, I could have filled my freezer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
