The first small sampling of this one was... well, I gave this to my daughter first and she was unamused I tried to pawn a coconut flavor off on her. I decided to try a few scoops myself and I knew what she meant. It's not a bad ice cream, it's just not as exciting as I had hoped. I wanted the caramel to be more prevalent to balance things out. I wanted way more brownie bits to distract me. I'm sure people will like this, but it's just not going to have a broad appeal. The packaging is way more exciting than the ice cream.
On Second Scoop: Ok, let's try this again. First, the base is a fine milk chocolate ice cream, no complaints there. Second, we've got the very effervescent coconut. It's not a crazy strong flavor, and the little bits of coconut are at a minimum. Third, the brownie bits are small but decent, plus they don't seem that plentiful. Lastly, where is the caramel flavor? I see the swirl but I can't taste it. It's not that it's a bad ice cream, it's just that when you advertise caramel, and you advertise it's spectacular, then I'm going to expect a lot more.
Verdict? decent, but where's the caramel?
Buy Again? Nah

This ice cream sounds like a firework that breaks on the ground - a dud and NOT spectacular :( P.S. I think they went with the spectacular theme because of the summer release which usually means fireworks.
Maybe you got a "dud" . . . I tried this about 2-weeks ago, and while I agree that the caramel was not plentiful, and didn't give much of a taste to the ice cream, there were plenty of brownie pieces..they were everywhere.
yeah, that's totally possible, always is unfortunately, but I didn't enjoy the base enough to warrant another purchase.
I hate the texture of coconut but am crazy in love with the flavor. I love brownies, caramel and cake. Is it worth it? Do you think I'll like it?
so you like coconut flavor but not coconut texture? then yeah, you should be fine.
I thought it was so amazingly delicious and am sad its a limited edition
OH no! This was in the Grocery Outlet for $1.99 in September! I totally missed it!
