[By Nick, debuted in 2012] Since Dubba bashed Breyers yesterday, it's only fitting I bash them today. This is not a dessert you want to be serving to your Valentine tonight. This stuff is awful.
Breyers Blasts! Reese's Chocolate
Chocolate Frozen Dairy Dessert with a Reese's Peanut Butter Swirl
and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Okay, I should elaborate why it's awful. While I thought frozen dairy dessert technology was getting better, that's far from the case here. Breyers has managed not only to make this one extra fluffy, it's also tasteless. This is the blandest chocolate base I have ever had.
The only redeemable thing about this container are the mix-ins and there aren't much of them to speak of. They claim the swirl to be Reese's but I honestly can't tell. It just tastes like peanut butter and there's not enough of it to make a real judgement. Most of the time it just tastes like it got mixed into the awful base since I can taste the swirl but not get much texture. There's also reese's cups in the mix but they're few and far between.
TL/DR: Don't buy, you'll be disappointed.
Verdict? This is why frozen dairy desserts should die
Buy Again? HAHAHA, no
Still, you have to admit that a frozen dessert with chocolate, peanut butter, and peanut butter cups for just 140 calories per serving is quite impressive.
ReplyDelete"This is why frozen dairy desserts should die." - best quote of your life. This is why I've read the blog from the beginning haha
ReplyDelete@Stride, not so impressive when it's lacking in flavor and mix-ins. There's a reason why it's so low in calories. What's impressive is just how much I wish I had bought something else.
ReplyDelete@Danielle, DEATH TO FROZEN DAIRY DESSERTS!
The calorie count is even lower when you can't even finish a bowl. I"ve given up on them; they bite.
ReplyDeleteRIP frozen dairy dessert.
I agree, Nick. Sometimes it's better to really indulge in something high in calories and fat that will satisfy rather than settling for lower quality products. This is why I rarely buy from Edy's or Breyer's anymore.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Stride4unit. I usually only buy Turkey Hill and Friendly's on occasion.
ReplyDeleteI bought this carton of crap years ago. They left out the peanut butter and the candy LOL. It was a carton of chocolate dust flavored base. Breyers sent me booklet of coupons for the inconvenience.
ReplyDeleteTried the chocolate tonight, absolutely no taste and not the equivalent of half a Reese's peanut butter cup in the whole container. Don't buy this !
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY SUCKS. SO MUCH SO THAT I HAD TO FIND A PLACE TO REVIEW AND STOP OTHERS FROM BEING DECIEVED.
ReplyDeleteThere was a total of 5 reeces pieces (small chunks..) and all fluff/very faint taste. Risk waste of my money.
LOL!!! Very true review. I recently bought a container of this and was highly disappointed. I usually enjoy candy/swirl ice cream. But this was not only NOT sweet, but also had very little peanut butter flavor and hardly any actual peanut butter cups inside. It was totally lacking in flavor. It was like a non-sweet chocolate ice cream with a VERY SMALL tinge of peanut butter taste. I was left confused and threw away the tub. I didn't even want to GIVE it away to someone else because I knew they wouldn't like it either. As far as actual GOOD candy or swirl ice creams, I recommend the Snickers' ice cream, Twix ice cream, and Oreo ice cream instead.
ReplyDeleteJust tried this tonight. We obviously didn't know what we were buying. I agree the base chocolate fluff is lame. Additionally, hardly any peanut butter and not very flavorful. I didn't find any actual reese's candies in there at all. What I did find was large hard chunks of the lowest quality chunk chocolate. The wax content of these "chocolate pieces" was so high, I think the most accurate descriptive is chocolatish flavored wax! Reese's aren't the highest quality candies but they are flights above this crud. If I was Reese's I'd sue them for sullying the good Reese's name.
ReplyDeleteCant really complain when this is 3.90$ at your local walmart. If you want to pay 6 bucks for something 1/4 the size it will probly have more candy pieces your looking for. Overall this doesn't taste bad considering price paid.
ReplyDeleteSure we can, there are better options at the $4/mainstream price point :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, no one is saying you can't enjoy this, but just like you have the right to enjoy it, we have the right to complain (within reason)
Yeah this ice cream is gross. It taste nothing like Reese's Peanut Butter cups. It taste like some generic ice-cream that can be found at Aldi's for $0.99 cents.
ReplyDeleteWe just bought two containers of the half and half mix of this stuff because we had a coupon. Big mistake. This is the least chocolate-y or peanut buttery I’ve cream I’ve ever eaten, and that includes the little cups of ice cream with the wooden spoon we used to get at lunch in elementary school. The mini-Reese’s Pieces and peanut butter cups are few and far between. The Safeway store brand ice cream is far superior.
ReplyDeleteI decided to try this new flavor as I love chocolate and Reese’s. So imagine how insanely disappointed I was to find that this ice cream has almost no flavor at all! Barely a chocolate taste and no peanut butter flavor at all!! I frankly can’t believe this is a Breyer’s product! At least your chocolate with peanut butter swirls actually had peanut butter in it that was awesome but this is just an incredible disappointment. Who did a taste test on this??? Maybe they too were influenced by the use of the Reese’s logo for packaging! NEVER AGAIN. So gross I’m thinking about throwing it away even though next to littering, wasting food is my biggest pet peeve!! In a blind taste test I would have sworn this was something healthy that someone had sprinkled chocolate powder on to try and fool children into eating it!
ReplyDeleteHello. So if I understand right, you are saying that the newly rebranded Reese's flavor (which is a Breyer's product without Breyer's branding) is yet another step down from what Breyer's used to be?
