Reese’s ice cream bars, Kit Kat cones, Snickers pops? We tasted through 10 frozen confections and found four really good ones and — ahem — several epic fails.
Start with one of the most popular candy bars in the world. Tweak the recipe, translate it into ice cream, and the result is a cold, melty mouthful of deliciousness. And the best part? It might take an entire summer to binge through all the cookie- and candy-influenced ice cream confections at your local market.
But these frozen treats inspire more than a few questions. Is a Snickers in ice cream form as good as the one on the candy aisle? Does a Klondike Heath Bar deliver? Does a Biscoff Cookie Bar have the same deep molasses-caramel punch of the cookie itself? Since there’s no way to know without tasting, we indulged, looking for the most successful efforts at translating the flavors of cookies and candy to frozen confections. As there were far too many options to put in a single story, we limited our tasting to bars and one cone-style treat.
The best branded frozen treats deliver all of the yumminess of the original treat, plus a creamy note that turns it into a luscious bite of dessert. Bad branded ice cream treats simply don’t deliver. They may satisfy the sweet tooth, but they taste nothing like the candy or cookie that they are named after.
Here’s the scoop on the most luscious, frozen versions and the sweet impostors that fail to live up to their names. Nutrition information refers to one treat.This is the bar is for caramel lovers. The deep molasses-caramel flavor of Biscoff cookies permeates both the ice cream and the thick coating of cookie-pocked chocolate. 310 calories, 21 g fat, 110 mg sodium, 23 g sugar, 2 g protein. $3.56 for three 2.5-ounce bars at Target.
