ahhhh damn ugasar, just totally bummed me out....

Hey I'm not saying I'm in for reviews.. If it seems decent, I will be the first to take a shot at it! I love some seasonal items.. What is the description on the Peppermint Neapolitan? I can't quite make it out!

doing some searching and the description says
peppermint ice cream &
artificially flavored Vanilla Ice cream
swirled with mint stockings & tree's

kind of bummed just vanilla I thought neapolatin was supposed to be like chocolate/vanilla/strawberry, but i figured the peppermint would take out the strawberry. I could see chocolate/peppermint/vanilla could be a good combo. the one review i found says it was "a victory" but I dont have much faith in that review.

HUGE vanilla fan here, so I'm in as long as it isn't a FDD! That's why I liked Publix's Seasonal Peppermint so much because it has a vanilla base to it..

Sorry if this was already brought up....

Anyone tried Velvet ice cream (Ohio) - Their Buckeye Classic is legit and extreme moose tracks/cookie dough are really top tier IMO

[lazymuchacho]

whats peoples consensus on Target brand (market pantry) ice creams? I just saw they had a peppermint Neapolitan flavor looks interesting and tasty nom nom nom?!

I enjoyed Cinema Snack...good flavors, respectable mix-in/swirl, and base consistency no softer than say Turkey Hill...

[nakkiz]

In my experience theyre a hit or miss. They all sound so interesting and great on paper, but you can definitely tell that its not a premium ice cream.

I eat them when im cutting so I can get more ice cream for the same calories. They taste great when you're at a deficit

I've had quite a few of their flavors. I really like their moose tracks (both original and the chocolate moose tracks...but especially the chocolate) and their strawberry cheesecake is good as well. Damn you I miss Ohio now

[ErickStevens]

Market Pantry's Pumpkin Pie flavor isn't new, I had it last year. It's not that great - If I was dieting maybe but right now? Nah, son.

I feel like that with most of their flavors. As a matter of fact the only flavor I'll buy now is Cinema Snack and it's probably a B- at best.

Has anyone had Talenti's Sea Salt Caramel lately? It seems they have changed it unless it's just that it's been so long since I last had it I don't remember how it used to be. I recall it having a caramel swirl in it and now it's just the ice cream base with chocolate covered caramel pieces in it. Doesn't seem as good as I remember it.

My NY area brahs. found this at Fairway Market

Greenfield Sticky Pecan (Sticky Bun)- rich vanilla ice cream with lots of candied pecans and a cinnamon swirl with Crown Maple Syrup drizzled throughout

This company rocks!

Gelato Fiasco Torched Marshmallow S’more




I have been looking forward to scooping this pint for quite some time after reading many good reviews on it. The base is very interesting and different. It tastes just like your traditional honey graham crackers, very sweet and full of honey flavor. The chocolate chunks are finely chopped. You can easily tell that the bittersweet cocoa is rich and of the highest quality. Finally, and I don’t know how they mastered this, but the marshmallows are one of the most unique mix-ins I have ever encountered. Somehow, they manage to keep these marshmallow pockets torched and fluffy. It is not a swirl at all, and when you bite into one, it is full of air just as if you pulled it right out of a fire after roasting it. Although mainly vanilla in flavor, it is somewhat salty on its own. I don’t think this tops PB Stracciatella as my favorite offering by Gelato Fiasco, but it easily comes in at #2. A-

Well I'll definitely catch some flak for this but I finally tried 2nd street can't tell me no cookie dough and I was not a big fan of it. I don't know if I got a bum pint or what but there were like 2 cookie dough chunks in two servings worth. There was a good amount of chocolate chunks but I was more looking for the cookie dough chunks and the swirl, the latter which was completely absent.

On a different note, I had a taste test of wegmand banan-a peel'n and nutter batter and both are ridiculously good. I can't wait until this weekend when I have more of both, the banana one may possibly be my #2 or 1 ice cream depending on how many PB cups I get. Current #1 is B&J pb cup.

Ah damn, ok well that's good to know as I've only heard good things about it. I don't know when I can get it again unfortunately, so it's on the backburner for now. I'll post this weekend how the banana peel n is, definitely scooping that.

Recent trip to Jeni's Westside Provisions in Atlanta, Ga
Sampled:
Triumph - Very interesting flavor. Tasted like black jelly beans. People will either love it or hate it. I liked it but the girl behind the counter told me she hated it haha
Bangkok Peanut - This was really good if you like a little spice in your desserts. 1 of the 3 flavors I got in my bowl. Liked it better than Queen City Cayenne but wouldn't want a whole pint of it.
Black Curry Lambic Sorbet - Not good

Ended up with...


Rum Ball - Strong rum flavor. Jeni's dark chocolate base is on point! The rum soaked cake balls are awesome. Would recommend unless you don't like the taste of alcoholic desserts. A-


Buttercup Pumpkin - Sweet pumpkin base with amaretti cookies. One of the best pumpkin ice creams I have had. Only complaint is I'd like a few more larger cookie pieces but overall awesome. A


The other flavors I have had before. I tried the sweet potato last year and wasn't crazy about it but gave it another try this year and thought it was better!
Buckeye State is always a favorite.
Brown Butter Almond Brittle is another classic.

Successful Jeni's trip!

That Pumpkin is truly unreal.... It really is my favorite pumpkin i have had and I have had a lot
Agree 100%
wish i had access to a Jeni's to try the rumball sounds great.

[yoojungl]

[cartmanx8]

As I continue to plow through the pint the fudge pieces continue to amplify in size, and the fudge filled cups are like mini peanut butter cup size (think truffles in Sea Salt carmel ((Talenti)) but filled with fudge and covered in chocolate). I think I got around almost a dozen in a pint of ice cream, not the mention the large mix-ins of regular fudge. At first I thought i was digging into a pint of Graeter's ice cream due to the amount of mix-ins Private Select threw into this pint. The amount of fudge, and fudge cups really raised the grade on this pint due to the base more of a milk chocolate than the labeled "Rich" chocolate. For 240 calories a serving (14g Fat, 28g Carbs, and 4g Protein) This was a solid pint, and something I would definitely rescoop in the future if I get around to a Kroger.

Grade: B+

What's your favorite Steve's Flavors!?!

I had Sunday Morning, and Blackout, but i think i had bad pints b/c I was not impressed at all..

[The Solution]

Banana Pudding, Salty Caramel are both fantastic.

[mussina123]

Salted Caramel influenced by Bob^ ... was not a let down... caramel base wasn't overpowering at all, yet was still sweet on the end of each spoonfull... the sea salted caramel swirl was the perfect ratio of sweet to salty to make it so good when a swirl was present... overall easyyy A

[The Solution]

The banana pudding is just as good. Banana Peel-N may be better from wegmans due to the marshmallow fudge and PB Cups mix-in.
