Mounds Ice Cream Bar Quick Review

[Why does this still say new when it came out in 2012?] Oh man, the joys of when the work freezer gets filled up with four different frozen treats. I feel compelled to try something that I've heard good things about but have been afraid to try because of my non-love for coconut. Ok, my co-worker tried one first and said it's good but not too coconutty, so, here we go........

Mounds Ice Cream Bar
- dark chocolate flavored with pieces of coconut -

coconut flavored light ice cream with coconut dipped in a dark chocolate flavored coating

How not to package a product.

Wow that is small looking.

Ok, yeah, this is for coconut lovers, though I did still enjoy it (more or less anyway). It's a very bright white, very light (non-dense) filling surround by a thin chocolate shell. You can see how easily the shell just completely breaks apart. I can't say I noticed the "pieces of coconut", maybe because of the shell bits everywhere, but that's fine by me.

The shell provides plenty of fun crunch but not a ton of flavor. The filling provides tons of flavor but not much texture resistance. Hmmm, kind of yin and yang thing going on I guess.

So, it's got a similar fun factor to other candy bar inspired treats, it's just aimed at the coconut crowd. No real complaints and it's nice to check this one off the to-do list. Let me know if you keep these in the freezer, but for me, I'll stick with the York version.

Verdict?  fun if you like coconut
