Breyers Blasts Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

By -
Alright guys, dearest readers, my first review of Breyers. Breyers is like super classic ice cream brand. It's not luxury, but it's not cheapo. It's that kind of ice cream you would buy if you have 2.5 children and a white picket fence, but you don't have enough money to send your 2.5 kids to a private school. In addition, Breyers isn't too popular in the ice cream blogging world. However, Breyers has been around since 1866, so I don't feel comfortable without going into the ice cream with an open mind. Maybe they've been doing something right to keep themselves open that long. Also Reese's. Can you really mess up ice cream with Reese's in it??



This product is described as Peanut Butter Light Ice Cream with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pieces and a Fudge Swirl. Ooookay so strike number 1, light ice cream. Yeahhhh if I wanted to eat something "light" I could have had some lame yogurt or something. Like why do you think I am buying ice cream filled with candy?! You could tell the "lightness" in the texture. I honestly think the best way to describe this ice cream is flimsy. My spoon destroyed, no devastated, this ice cream while I scooped it.



Strike number 2 for this ice cream was the fudge swirl. As Madeline discussed in a recent post, many ice cream companies don't seem to know the difference between a fudge and chocolate swirl. This was definitely a chocolate swirl. And, guys, a chocolate swirls isn't lesser than a fudge swirl, they are just different! But I just want you to tell me the truth. This chocolate swirl was also pretty good. However, it was so thin through out 90% of the ice cream that you could hardly taste it.



Strike number 3 was the Reese's cups. Not that they were bad, because that is obviously impossible, but they were few and far between to be honest with you. But you do really forget how much better Reese's are than other peanut butter cups until you have some Reese's. Its the peanut butter. So distinct and amazing. The flavor of the peanut butter was actually pretty good and tasted more like Reese's peanut butter than normal peanut butter I think.

Look at that Reese's goodness. 

Overall, you let me down Breyers.  I was pulling for you, I really was.  I did enjoy the ice cream because chocolate and peanut butter. But I would not buy this again. However, I will be buying Breyers again because they make Girl Scout Cookie Blast ice creams.

Comparison Post: Haagen-Dazs Vanilla vs Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean

Ok peeps, does anybody else think its a bit weird that Haagen-Dazs makes a Vanilla ice cream and a Vanilla Bean ice cream? Like, is that really necessary? Regardless, it is my duty as your guide to the ice cream world to try both flavors and report back. First, the description.  I'm taking the full paragraph from the website because it gives more info about the supposed differences between the two flavors. Vanilla: Vanilla is the essence of elegance and sophistication. This marriage of pure, sweet cream and Madagascar vanilla creates the sweet scent of exotic spice and a distinctive taste that lingers on the tongue. Vanilla Bean: A unique twist to our iconic flavor.  Our ice cream blends Madagascar vanilla and pure, sweet cream with flecks of real vanilla beans, for a spicy and sweet delight. Do we all agree that Haagen-Dazs' descriptions are bordering on florid here? Just wow.  So the descriptions have got me all hopped up and raring to eat some ice cream, but let

Nestle Drumstick, The Original Sundae Cone

Every once in a while you've just gotta have a classic. For me, and for many others, drumsticks are reminiscent of childhood summers and the ice cream truck coming by. I have memories of drumsticks being really, really tasty and exciting. But before I review them, lets have a little history lesson. And by history lesson, no I do not mean me talking about my childhood; I do not think I am yet old enough that I can call my childhood "history". (Although my students are often baffled that not only am I older than Facebook, I am also older than YouTube!!) What I do mean is a history lesson on waffle cones and drumsticks. As legend has it, at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, an ice cream maker ran out of bowls to serve ice cream in. Next to him was a waffle vendor. The ice cream guy asked the waffle guy for some waffles, and served his ice cream in rolled up waffles instead of bowls. And the waffle cone was born! Twenty four years later, the Parker bro

Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill'd

Really. A blog post. Literally 2 years to the day after the last blog post. (Srs, I did not plan that.) In that time I (Madeline) defended my thesis, so you can now call us Dr. Big Muddy Ice Cream Blog, thank you very much. So it's 2020. All through 2019 we joked that the year was a dumpster fire. Little did we know. We're in the midst of a global pandemic, Australia burned to the ground, March lasted 23 years, Kobe Bryant died, Donald Trump was not impeached, Megxit Megxited, my personal life is somewhat of a shit show, all of our mental health is a complete and total joke, so I decided now is the perfect time to write an ice cream blog post because ice cream is LITERALLY the only light left in the world. Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill'd came out at the beginning of the year, and I finally found it in Minneapolis. It is Peanut butter ice cream with sweet and salty pretzel swirls and fudge brownies. If you are not familiar with the term Netflix and Ch
