It's addictive. You've already covered how the flavor blends but what I really like is how it's not overly sweet. They made a concerted effort to make the chocolate ice cream portion taste like dark chocolate which blends better with mint IMO.

I was surprised. Unfortunately, they are still owned by Unilever so this was almost certainly based on a non-gmo market rather than a new owner deciding to go back to the 'purity pledge' and make good ice cream.

I...I would like Breyer's to do more with fruit. I really enjoy fruit in my ice cream when it is done well. There is so much emphasis on chocolate that I think we forget how much diversity we can have in fruit. I've seen few companies give widespread use to fruits. There are even good fruit and chocolate combos I've never seen out there. <br /><br />I'd love to see sherbet reviews. The rainbow sherbets are all different. I just picked up a lemon, lime, orange combo from Market Pantry (Target) that is really good. First time I've seen those three paired up together in a container. I want to know who has the best sherbet. My kids adore sherbet.Anne Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519033840367690707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-15469311438725219672017-04-11T02:44:35.467-04:002017-04-11T02:44:35.467-04:00Thanks for the input!Thanks for the input!M.

Does it taste anything like the base in the Edy's thin mint ice cream? In other words, because it's swirled together, does it taste more like chocolate infused with mint all over vs. chocolate with pockets of strong mint when you hit a white spot?
