Chocolate Nougat Crunch


Ok, here I go AGAIN! I promise I will finish this damn Ben & Jerry’s Experiment, even if it kills me. I went ahead and grabbed a flavor for next week as well. Trying not to fall off the journey once more, let’s try our best.

Chocolate Nougat Crunch:

Currently not a damn memory comes to mind with ANY one ingredient in this flavor. What I can tell you is this: I have had the flavor when it originally came out, but I never had time to write a review about it. I haven’t seen it after that until today. I guess it was a sign to restart.

Sweet Cream Ice Cream with Fudge Covered Wafer Cookies & a Chocolate Nougat Swirl

This time around I have to say, I enjoyed it more than the first time. I don’t remember too much about the flavor, except the fact that I didn’t like the Fudge Covered Wafer Cookies. Guess what? I still don’t! I do wonder at times where the visionaries at Ben & Jerry’s get their big ideas to add these odd bites to such a great mixture of flavors. I have to say the sweet cream ice cream with the chocolate nougat swirl is a great mix. Then they have to go and add in that fudge covered wafer cookie. I like fudge and wafer cookies, but once put in the pint of already amazing flavors it just doesn’t sit well with me.

I am giving this a middle ground rating because it does have two positives to the flavor as a whole. I do have to say, just because something has a check mark against it doesn’t mean it deserves anything less than your best. So I don’t like the Nougat, but everything else this flavor brings is outstanding. Life is about picking and choosing which dislikes to battle and honestly, I’m not fighting this one. If you can find this in your freezer section I would say give it a swirl. Just because it doesn’t work 100% for me it doesn’t mean it won’t for you.

Score:
