Brownie Fudge Swirl Klondike Bar

By -
What is wrong with me that I avoided Klondike bars for so long?! The third installment of the fall Klondike Bar-a-thon is Brownie Fudge Swirl. From the Klondike Bar website:

Fudge brownie swirls ribboned through a creamy chocolate ice cream - all covered in a thick milk-chocolatey coating. It's time to score some serious brownie points with your taste buds. This gooey hunk of frozen fudgey flawlessness is a chocolate lover's dream - and for good reason. With this much chocolate ice cream, you owe it to yourself to make your ice cream dreams come true.

While the Klondike bar's higher-than-average ice cream-to-coating ration worked against the the Original and Dark Chocolate treats, the format is perfect for the Brownie Fudge Swirl bars. The higher ice cream content lets the mix-ins shine.


The pure, creamy, milky chocolate of the chocolate ice cream is the primary feature of the first bite. As you keep eating, you start to notice the richer, darker chocolate of the brownie swirls. I would actually describe these as brownie batter swirls - there is a definite egginess, and the texture is grainy like brownie batter. The swirls are pretty thin, but have a strong enough taste that they still pack a punch.  The coffee complexity of the chocolate coating is barely perceptible, but quietly lurks at the back of every bite.

Three very distinct chocolate flavors play well together in the Brownie Fudge Swirl Klondike Bars, and I rate them 🍦🍦🍦/4. I'm taking off a cone because the brownie swirls could have been thicker.

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

 Who else is fucking sick of coronavirus restrictions, and more especially being really careful about coronavirus knowing full well others are not while hospitals start to fill to capacity again? New Zealand, I'm not talking to you here, so just shut the fuck up and/or let me move there. Running is my normal stress relief/coping mechanism for wanting to murder loud typers who don't mute during zoom meetings. I typically run a stupid number of miles per week so that I'm just too fucking tired the rest of the time to care about anything. It really works wonders! Unfortunately, I'm currently out of running due to a tibial stress fracture. That is not entirely true, this week I get to run for one entire minute 4 times. So instead of self-destruction though running, I am now attempting to self destruct by eating an utterly insane amount of sugar. Not infrequently this is in the form of an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting, and this not infrequently occurs more than onc
