Klondike Cookie Dough Swirl
Klondike Cookie Dough Swirl bars are indulgent cookie dough ice cream with beautiful cookie dough swirls, all dipped in thick milk chocolatey coating.
I had really high hopes for these bars, thinking that the cookie dough ice cream would be on a level with the caramel ice cream in the Caramel Pretzel bars and the toffee ice cream in HEATH bars.
The cookie dough ice cream starts off with a nice strong eggy, sweet flavor, but this quickly fades. Klondike ice cream isn't particularly dense, so there's not that rich dairy base for the flavor to grab on to. The caramel and toffee ice creams complement the hint of toffee in the shell, so the two elements enhance each other, overcoming the lighter flavor of the ice cream. The cookie dough ice cream has to hold it's own against the chocolate shell, and the flavor is just not quite strong enough.
Klondike swirls are always a bit weird - they are very thin ribbons, so don't add much of a textural element. The cookie dough swirl enhances the flavor of the ice cream base a bit, but not enough to make it pop. I think actual chunks of cookie dough would have been a better choice.
I rate these 🍦.5/4.
