[New for Late 2024] I bought these during the lull between finishing up 2024 and waiting for 2025... and then 2025 tackled us with new stuff and these got buried in the downstairs freezer. Well, let's get a quick review of...

Goodpop Cookies N' Cream Ice Cream Bars
(cookies & cream ice cream with a cookies and cream coating)

That is not how it looks on the box.
Ugg, the C&C coating already broke just as I was about to say "mmm, cookies and cream".
Ooo, there is a lot of lingering sweetness. It's a bit much which makes it almost tastes artificial.
I get more ice cream with the second bite and that helps
There is not a lot to this bar. Let's call it a six bite bar, and we aren't talking big bites.
The flavor isn't bad, and I want another, but I'm still trying to get used to the texture. I dont even know what to compare it to. I want to say frozen milk but that gives the wrong impression. How about.... it's more like a frozen juice bar than a typical ice cream bar. Does that make sense?
On Second Scoop: I had another bar and I'm now more confident that I enjoy the underlying bar more than I do the coating. It's still a bit too much of a sweet shocker on those first few bites. I'm not sure why they rolled like that, but maybe they'll tweak it at some point >>> Ok, I had bars 3&4 while mowing and these are definitely growing on me. Again, the base ice cream is a bit stiff and watery/icy, but there's still a simplicity to the pop that compensates for it. It's the beauty of not having too many ingredients.
Note: there is also a strawberry version which I'm going to need to try now.
Verdict? they grow on you
Buy Again? probably!
