Friendly's Ice Cream Cake Sundae Cup

2016 brought us three new cake inspired sundae cups from Friendly's. I tried the strawberry version and there's also a chocolate and salted caramel version, but today we are going to cover the original flavor. I have long had a soft spot in my heart for ice cream cake (and the oh so tasty layer of chocolate crunchies inside), so I'm surprised I have yet to review....

Friendly's Ice Cream Cake Sundae Cup

vanilla ice cream layered with chocolaty crunchies,
chocolate ice cream, whipped topping & confetti

Sprinkles = #FunFactor!

(dont ask about the little chocolate knobs)

I take one bite and yup, it tastes like ice cream cake!

As I take more bites, the amount of chocolate crunch fades as does it's impact on the flavor. It almost looks like the crunch is only on the edges. They also aren't that crunchy which is a shame.

The topping is both colorful and sweet, with some texture, but not crunchy or hard if you were worried about that. I take a few more bites and wow, I found the crunchies!

I take another bite or two and then flip over the chocolate side and WOW! So many crunchies! Now that is what I was hoping for, I just wish I had found this during the beginning of the treat, not near the end.

I know I tend to mock these cups because of the lower quality ice cream, but I do adore ice cream cake, and this one ended strong, so I'm ok with saying it's worth a try at a dollar. My big suggestion will be to scoop it out of the cup, figure out where the crunchies are hiding, and then attack from there.

Oh, and if you discover that my cup was a fluke with the crazy amount of crunchies, then please let us know!

Verdict?  not bad
