A La Mode Ice Cream Bars : Part 2

[New for 2017] After I had a bit of an issue with my local grocery store providing me with a decent box of a la mode ice cream bars, a la mode stepped in with replacement samples of their tasty speed bump bar as well as free samples of the rest of their 2017 lineup. They put out four new ice cream bars in all this year, the two we already covered and...

A La Mode Ice Cream Bars

Dear Reader, shortly after posting this review, a la mode contacted me to let me know that at some point something terrible had befallen the box of speed bump bars shown in this review. They immediately sent over fresh samples of all of their new 2017 products and I have to say, the fresh Speed Bump bar was delicious. I am now thoroughly convinced that my local Shaws let my bars completely melt and then were refrozen. For proof, just look at the last picture and notice that all the mix-ins sank in the bar rather than being spread out like the fresh bar I just ate. For the sake of honesty, I am leaving up the original review, but rather than use it as a knock against a la mode, please use it as a reminder that there is no guarantee that the product you buy has had an easy life. Kudos to a la mode for standing behind their product!

[New for 2017] Who's ready for another nut-free, egg-free, sesame-free treat? I was originally going to break this review in two but let's keep these new bars together.

[New for 2017] About two months ago, I posted a shot of six a la mode ice cream flavors that had started popping up at my local Shaws supermarkets. I had never heard of them before because they are just a mere two years old, yet here they are with some fun looking pints and flavors. Every young company needs a hook, and theirs is making ice cream that is nut-free, egg-free and sesame-free. You may be thinking "plenty of ice cream is technically 'nut-free'" but that's not the same with so much cross contamination nowadays. A la mode is made in an actual nut-free facility. I believe the only other company doing this is Chapman's up in Canada. When Chapman's built a new facility, they converted their old facility into a nut free facility (which is awesome ofcourse). I was going to try a la mode later this year, but then I found new...
