Candy Cane Muddy Bites

[New for 2024] The Mrs and I had stopped at Bolton Orchards to try some fresh cider donuts when I spied a brandy new flavor of Muddy Bites as we headed to the checkout lane.

More Muddy Bites!

[CnC New for April 2023, Thin Mints New for December 2023] 

I've always liked the idea of Muddy Bites, but I've never actually fallen in love with Muddy Bites. It's a snack that's like 80% of the way to clicking with me, until now. Can you guess which one did the trick for me?

Chipwich Girl Scout Thin Mint Ice Cream Sandwich

[New for 2024] So Chipwich has ditched 2022's mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich (with it's chocolate chip cookies) and replaced it with....

Wicked Kitchen Non-Dairy Ice Cream

[New for 2022] Three weeks ago, the PR team for Wicked Kitchen sent over an email asking if I wanted to partake in the launch event for their new lupini bean based non-dairy lineup. Since I'm not always the best judge of these vegan friendly flavors, I asked my buddy Eric if he would help with reviewing some free samples. His words are after the break.

Chipwich Mint Chocolate Chip

[New for 2022] I don't know if I was expecting a new chipwich this year, but I was certainly happy to see one. I've been buying chipwich since they returned in 2018 and I'm always happy to showcase something new from them.

Minter, I mean Winter, is upon us!

Who's ready for Minter? Sorry, I mean Winter! I don't crave minty flavors, but it's always fun to see them on store shelves. I mean, even Mochi is festive these days!

My/Mo Cool Peppermint Mochi Ice Cream

I was fairly tempted to pick these up just for a change of pace, but then I reflected on the fact that I've never been big on Mochi texture. As a disclaimer, it has been 4.5 years since my last Mochi review and I've never tried the My/Mo Mochi brand.

Haagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream

I'm always happy to see this one as well! White chocolate ice cream with peppermint bark pieces and peppermint pieces. Who knew chocolate covered peppermint could be this fun? Unfortunately this particular pint I bought was left out to melt at some point. I was trying to see how bad the damage was and when I went to scoop it out, this huge section of heavily melted and refrozen ice cream just flopped in to the sink. What a disappointment as this pint is a ton of fun. If you've never had it, give it a try. (original review here if you are interested)

Alright, I'm off to bring up some more decorations from the basement. I hope everyone is well. In the comments, let us know if you are excited for any particular seasonal treats (and if you don't like mint, that's cool too). Have a good week!

Chloe's Oatmilk Mint Chip Pops

[New for 2020] So, umm, yeah, I'm trying to post two times a week but it's getting pretty hard. I think this is the last new thing I have in my fridge. I swear that I am trying to keep it interesting but it's just so hard. Losing my lunchtime access to an extended set of grocery stores (plus the ability to buy nut based flavors) has definitely taken a big hit on my coverage of 2020. I'm not super complaining, there are a thousand problems worse than not having new ice cream to review, just don't think that I've lost the urge to try new things.

Blue Bunny Mint Cookie Crunch Mini Swirls

[New for 2018] I have to stop writing reviews in my head instead of in my blogging window because several days later I'll look at blogger and go "hey, where did that review go?". Case in point is me reflecting on the other new mini cones from Blue Bunny that they sent over as free samples. Thankfully I tried these twice before my current dietary guidelines went in to place.

Perry's Cool Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches

{New for 2017] Ok, who is melting in the summer heat and humidity right now? Ok, that's bad, but at least I'm not alone. We're going to do a quick review of something I thought I had already written up. You see, Perry's actually released two new ice cream sandwiches this year and then sent over free samples of both. I've already inhaled the box of Sweet Cream ice cream sandwiches, but I also have a box of...

JC's Mint Chocolate Cookie Pie Pop

It has been a year since we mentioned JC's Pie Pops and a saddening three years since I first sampled their four original flavors. I was so very impressed by those pops when I had them and unfortunately I had to deal with the fact that it wasn't something I could easily pick up at the grocery store. Well a lot has changed over the years. Pie Pops are more readily available, there are more flavors, there is the variety without crumbs, and there is even the truffle version you can find in your grocer's candy section.

Coolhaus Mintimalism Ice Cream Sandwich

[By Nick] National Ice Cream Month might have ended yesterday but don't worry, we like to celebrate all year long. Let's take a look at a Coolhaus sandwich I got from the Niskayuna Co-op.

Girl Scouts Thin Mints Ice Cream Bars

[For 2015 and 2016 only] 
Time for something that we first got a picture of in late January but it took awhile before it hit the Walmart by my house. I have no doubt this will be a fine treat, the question is how good will it be.

Trader Joe's Mini Mint Ice Cream Mouthfuls

So every so often I check on the Trader Joe's fearless flyer and see what's new at the store. There's usually something that catches my eye but I'm terrible about actually getting over there at lunch time. I mean I haven't been there since October! Well, I headed over today, but instead of grabbing the new "Hold the Cone!" mini ice cream cones, I picked up this old treat that somehow I've never noticed before.

Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Bars

[By Nick, New for 2014, Discontinued] With brands like TCBY invading the freezer aisle, it was only a matter of time before others such as Baskin-Robbins followed suit. “But wait Nick, you could already buy pre-packaged Baskin-Robbins products.” Why yes, you’re correct. You can buy their products from one of their stores but what if you’re someone like me who doesn’t have a Baskin-Robbins within a 50 mile radius? (That’s the furthest their website would let me search. I’m pretty sure I don’t have one within 100 miles of me.) Well thanks to the folks at Boardwalk Frozen Treats, you can now purchase Baskin-Robbins bars and faux-pints from your local grocery store! While not in stores around me just yet, they were kind enough to send me a sample pack of both lines. Since I got the complete catalog of bars, let’s take a look at those first!

There are three bars in total: Jamoca, Mint and World Class Chocolate. While the base flavors are obviously different, the first two use a dark chocolate flavored shell while the world class chocolate uses a milk chocolate shell. Let's start this review with the dark ones.

Skinny Cow Chocolate Mint Ganache Low Fat Ice Cream Cones

And the very first new treat of 2014 is....

Ganache cones made with low fat ice cream (click for larger image)

Skinny Cow Chocolate Ganache low fat ice cream cones! 4 cones to a box, 3.85 fluid ounces each, and they come in mint or mousse variations (and set me back four bucks at Wal-mart). To be honest, the description has me a little puzzled, but the mint version has a chocolate cone, so those came home with me first.

Rice Dream Mint Pie Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

[By Nick] Long ago after my second rice dream pie review, one of my friends whose parents happen to own the health store in town informed me that they also carried the Rice Dream pies in a mint flavor. If memory serves me correctly, she even went as far as to say she “loves them”. Not having the best of luck with these products and semi-terrified to see how the oatmeal cookies would work with the mint rice dream, I put off stopping in their store to pick one up. Well I finally got curious enough to try one of these pies so here we go folks.
