Blue Bunny Ice Cream Bars products have gotten mixed reviews here on Iateapie.net. The Blue Bunny Orange Dream Bar got the 5 kiss seal of approval, while the Sweet Freedom Strawberry Lites Ice Cream Bar only got three stars. When I saw the Blue Bunny Health Smart Fudge & Vanilla Fudge Bar in a vending machine, I decided to get it and see whether it fell in the "excellent" or "so-so" category.

The individual bar I bought was $1.75 ... continue reading »

Edy's (or Dreyer's) Slow Churned Ice Cream is one of my favorite brands of ice cream. The Slow Churned results in a reduced calorie and fat ice cream that still tastes delicious and creamy. While I do like all kinds of ice cream, I favor ice cream that's more creative than just plain vanilla or chocolate, so when I looked around the ice cream aisle, I decided to try Edy's Slow Churned Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream.

This ice cream is all about the chocolate with a chocolate ice cream base for the fudge ribbon and little pieces of brownie that are mixed in. The chocolate ice cream is nice and creamy, and the fudge ribbon ... continue reading »

Cheesecake is one thing that makes me swoon. I eat it, slowly, savoring every rich, delicious bite one mouthful at a time. But alas, the calories, the fat - yikes! This makes it only a special occasion type of thing (that and the fact that not just any cheesecake will satisfy my palate). My love of good cheesecake is seconded by my love of ice cream & frozen yogurt. Combining the two to make a delicious dessert - well, that would mean that Blue Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Free Frozen Yogurt would have a lifelong fan.

Blue Bunny - I love the sleek, elliptical shape of the packaging. The frozen yogurt does indeed ta ... continue reading »

Fried ice cream doesn't sound very healthy at all, but the description of Breyers Overload! Fried Ice Cream on the packaging says, "cinnamon caramel flavored light ice cream with a honey caramel swirl & cinnamon sugar tostada pieces." I've never had real fried ice cream, but from what I understand, the ice cream is typically fried in a starchy shell. Obviously, the execution of this supermarket ice cream differs from the real thing, but I was still willing to give it a shot.

The ice cream base is excellent, very creamy with plenty of caramel flavor but very subtle, if any, flavor from the cinnamon. The Tostada pieces make this ice ... continue reading »

Thin Mint is now almost synonymous with Girl Scout Cookies, but if want to bypass the 25% of the daily value for saturated fat, then I suggest you try Edy's Slow Churned Thin Mint Cookie Ice Cream (also the same as Dreyer's brand).

Edy's describes this as, "a refreshing and original flavor that combines white mint light ice cream and Thin Mint cookies" and they are spot on. The mint ice cream base is mild but amped up by the Thin Mint cookie crumbs. I have never seen so ma ... continue reading »
