Haagen-Dazs Decadent Collection Midnight Cookies and Cream

Are you experiencing deja vu? That's because Haagen-Dazs Midnight Cookies and Cream is a limited edition flavor that comes back over and over and over again. Really, at this point, Haagen-Dazs just needs to make this part of their permanent line-up.

I  went back and checked the last time I reviewed this flavor, and Haagen-Dazs has changed the description, but I don't believe they changed the actual flavor. This time they say

Dedicated to the serious chocolate lover, our Midnight Cookies and Cream combines chocolate fudge swirls, decadent dark chocolate cookie pieces, and creamy dark chocolate ice cream.

Three chocolate elements means Midnight Cookies and Cream meets my criteria for an ice cream to eat while your are sobbing over a tragic life event. Eating the entire pint in one go is required.

Haagen-Dazs has a pretty decent chocolate base, and the dark chocolate base takes that to the next level. It's darker than a typical milk chocolate base, but not so dark that it tastes chalky or covers up the flavor of the mix-ins.

I got either a cookie or chocolate fudge in every bite, sometimes both. The chocolate fudge is pretty standard, but the delicious base and cookies elevate it. The cookies are the real standout. They are slightly darker chocolate than the base, but again, even a milk-chocolate lover will probably survive them. The chunks are quite large and very chewy; however they have a bit of an airy quality so they're not too dense.

I'm rating this flavor 🍦🍦🍦/4. It's a solid chocolatey flavor, but I don't get why this keeps coming back as a limited edition instead of being added to the main line-up.
