Magnum Double Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars

[New for early 2015] Oh geez, another lunch time peanut packed pickup for me today. I saw this pop up at Stop & Shop at over five bucks, but I said I would hold off for a better deal ($3.74 to be precise). So, without any more pointless intro to this year's new Magnum release, I give you....

Magnum Double PEANUT BUTTER Ice Cream Bars

Ok, not the most photogenic sample.

I take my first bite and it's drier then I expected

The shells come across very solid, as does the peanut butter stuck between them (which makes sense once you look at what's inside after biting the bar). I did kind of expect something a bit more gooey, but this works too. It's still good and it's still fun.

The peanut butters (ice cream and sauce) don't seem overly salty or gritty. You can't look for a Reeses vibe here, but there is a robustness to the peanut butter ice cream. Yes it is somewhat flat, but not completely. If you can slow down, there is a nice... ahhh, what's the word I want here.

I don't know what to compare this treat to. On the first try here, I'm not even sure what's doing what. Maybe the ice cream is flat and the sauce is giving it some spunk. Or maybe they are both decent and come together for something nice.

I'm not crazy enamored with it yet, but I definitely like it. I think the overall ratios of everything could use a little tweak, maybe a bit more ice cream to balance against all that peanut butter. Now, had they put salty peanut bits in the shell, I think my brain might have exploded. As is, I'm looking towards a second scooping tomorrow to round out my thoughts (because there is way too much fat in this thing to have more than one a day).

On Second Scoop: And I ate it too fast again. Simple review: don't be afraid to pick these us. Extended thoughts: you know I adore these double shells, it's just such a unique trick in a busy freezer aisle. I actually ate off the shell and tried eating the tasty ice cream underneath. There something that keeps it from being perfect for my particular taste preference, but this is still a nice addition to the line up.  [oh man, just had a random thought: what if they made a cookie dough version that had like a real sweet sauce between the double shell? mmmm, sugar overload]

Current Verdict?  good, definitely good
Buy Again?  as an occasional high octane treat
