Same goes for PB mallow crisp. Hardly any mix-ins, and just an utter disappointment even for 3.99 a pint.

Very gritty texture, almost non-existent pistachio flavor, and no honeycomb candy pieces. There bits of liquid honeycomb, which made me wonder if the pint had melted. I was excited to try a new brand, but I won't get it again.Corinnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-42458313066870049582017-10-28T15:15:30.705-04:002017-10-28T15:15:30.705-04:00Just googling around to see if others have also ha...Just googling around to see if others have also had disappointing experiences with this brand. I'd never heard of it and eagerly grabbed it when I saw the banana flavor. You don't see too many of those and I've had awesome ones in the past - Steve's and 711 brands (really!). I guess this is too bland to call "awful" but there's almost zero flavor, or wafer pieces. Basically just tastes cold. I'm not the sort of person who spends $7 for a pint of ice cream so I'm pretty irritated. Obviously won't be buying again!halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153075174949462914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-63785069777940868632017-07-21T23:20:51.739-04:002017-07-21T23:20:51.739-04:00In response to the poster above regarding the Cook...In response to the poster above regarding the Cookie Butter Blondie, I bought a pint last night and there was not one single chunk in the entire pint. It just appeared to be cookie flavored ice cream with VERY few TEENY TINY darker morsels that you had to search for. With that said, the taste and texture were both good, but it was overall a complete disappointment because I was expecting some chocolate/pecan/blondie "stuff". I actually assumed I got a bad batch and they forgot the "mix-ins", but guess not.

I just would've liked a little more speculoos in the base, though I definately tasted it.<br /><br />The blondies used were out of this world delicious but I think I got a bad pint because they weren't chunks, they were big CRUMBS. Their malt cookie dough isn't like that with their chunks, so I dunno. I'll have to buy another pint next week to find out.<br /><br />The pecans added a nice toasty nuttiness, but the dark chocolate was virtually nonexistant. This, I had no issue with, because I get tired of chocolate chips/chunks/flakes in ice cream tbh. Those are take-it-or-leave it for me.<br /><br />I would love to see someone from this site review this flavor though, because I really wonder if I got a bad pint and the blondie chunks are usually bigger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-79479053285758415362017-06-21T20:01:17.238-04:002017-06-21T20:01:17.238-04:00Yes, the vanilla malt cookie dough is my absolute ...Yes, the vanilla malt cookie dough is my absolute favorite P&P =) Delishubergigglefritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676564353237572382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-76244754495282572742017-06-20T11:55:51.114-04:002017-06-20T11:55:51.114-04:00Guys, please give Phin & Phebese another chanc...Guys, please give Phin & Phebese another chance with a review of the Vanilla Malt Cookie Dough!

The ice cream could have been left out, melted and refroze - which is an all too common scenario in stores.
