The texture left a little to be desired, but the flavor of the ice cream was great, and the cookie butter swirl was thick and awesome. I didn't like it quite as much as Spectacular Speculoos, but it was definitely worth the pick-up.

That move would also get the quart size away from their great value 1.5qt size offerings. target's premium pints failed too. even the walgreens premium stuff is gone now. new products get a few years and then stuff cycles on to the next round.Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-80233590438181736942017-05-18T18:45:08.251-04:002017-05-18T18:45:08.251-04:00re: Sam's choice

Well, one they got rid of their Coffee & Donuts flavor (with the x-rated sugar puddle at the top) altogether, but then when the ly rolled out the pints shortly after, I was just sort of through. I mean, the cookie butter flavor sounded good but I just never bothered. I'd see them and would just be like "meh, I'll just grab a B&Js"<br /><br />Thats what happens when Walmart deviates from their patented business model and attempts to increase their margins on a given product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-13464742449670570052017-05-18T17:07:14.441-04:002017-05-18T17:07:14.441-04:00@Anon1: it's decent, but I wouldnt call it int...@Anon1: it's decent, but I wouldnt call it intense by any means<br />http://www.onsecondscoop.com/2014/08/trader-joes-speculoos-cookie-butter-ice.html<br /><br />@Anon2: did you have it recently or awhile ago as I was positive how new it was (usually the copyright date is for the year before it's release). sam's choice ice cream was an experiment that failed. it happens alot. most likely people weren't really buying it in the first place.Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-58313727982278918562017-05-18T15:58:57.056-04:002017-05-18T15:58:57.056-04:00I randomly found this in a Walgreens in San Antoni...I randomly found this in a Walgreens in San Antonio (while traveling for work), but have never seen it anywhere since. I think you had a bad pint. It wasn't spectacular, but it was good. The ice cream was not dry and gritty. The flavor, while mellow, was fairly accurate, and the speculoos cookie bits were actually quite good. <br /><br />I think Sam's Choice blew it when they cut the carton size in half, but only lowered the price by about 50 cents. The "good value" disappeared, and I guess people stopped buying it. It is a shame, as several of the flavors were actually quite good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-48600374966482074292017-05-18T15:54:22.173-04:002017-05-18T15:54:22.173-04:00If you are looking for a tasty cookie butter ice c...If you are looking for a tasty cookie butter ice cream, that delivers on that Biscoff cookie flavor, look no further than your local Trader Joes!

I actually really enjoyed Walmart's Sam's Choice Cookie Butter ice cream (RIP this and many other stores brand premiums) so would have been nice to have another option. :( Purple Cow also did a Cookie Butter which I'm PRETTY sure I liked but I don't remember for sure.
