Reese’s NEW ICE CREAM review 💕🍦

After trying the new Reese's Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cones Duo, I can definitely say my expectations were a bit high, especially when thinking about other candy bar-inspired ice creams out there. You know how it is – when you see a brand like Reese's put their name on an ice cream, you're hoping for that iconic flavor bomb! Compared to other candy bar ice cream options, like Snickers ice cream bars or Twix ice cream, the Reese's cones felt a little... flat. With a Snickers bar, you get that distinct caramel, nougat, and peanut crunch all in one bite that truly mimics the candy experience. And Twix? That shortbread cookie base really makes a difference, giving it a unique texture profile that sets it apart. The Reese's cones, specifically the peanut butter ones I tried, didn't quite deliver the same multi-textured punch. The box confirmed it contains '8 frozen dairy dessert cones,' with '4 peanut butter and 4 chocolate flavors.' While I only focused on the peanut butter version, I often wonder if the chocolate ones offer a richer or more satisfying experience, especially if the peanut butter felt a bit muted. My main critique was that I really missed those actual peanut butter cup pieces you find in other Reese's-themed desserts, which is what truly gives Reese's its unique texture and flavor burst. Without them, it felt like a standard peanut butter flavored ice cream, not necessarily a Reese's experience. The problem with the 'soggy cone' isn't just with these Reese's cones; it's a common issue with many pre-packaged frozen cones. It often happens when ice cream thaws slightly and refreezes, or if the cones aren't sealed perfectly, allowing moisture to seep in. When you're craving that crisp waffle cone texture, a soggy one can really disappoint! For future reference, I've heard some people have luck storing them upside down to help prevent moisture from making the cone soggy, or even letting them sit out for just a minute or two before eating to soften the ice cream while surprisingly firming up the cone slightly. But honestly, that's a lot of extra effort for what should be a convenient treat! If you're a big Reese's fan and you're looking for that intense peanut butter and chocolate fix in an ice cream format, you might be better off grabbing a tub of premium peanut butter ice cream and adding your own crushed Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. That way, you control the quality of the ice cream and get those delightful texture bits. Or, even better, try making a milkshake with actual Reese's pieces blended in – that usually hits the spot perfectly! For me, when it comes to quick, convenient ice cream cones from the freezer aisle, I still lean heavily towards the classic Drumsticks. They consistently deliver that satisfying crunch from the chocolate coating and nuts, combined with creamy ice cream, without the soggy disappointment. It really comes down to what you prioritize in an an ice cream treat – sometimes the brand name doesn't quite live up to the promise in a frozen format, especially when there are so many other delicious candy bar ice cream options out there to compare it to. What are your go-to candy bar ice creams?
