QUICK REVIEW: Nabisco Chips Ahoy! Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Creations

Nabisco Chips Ahoy! Ice Cream Creations Dulce de Leche

Purchased Price: $2.98
Size: 9.5 oz.
Purchased at: Walmart
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Not horrible, not great, just decent. Love that they’re crunchier than regular Chips Ahoy! cookies, thanks to the dulce de leche-flavored chips. Crammed with dulce de leche chips. Being able to say “dulce de leche” without my tongue getting twisted.
Cons: I’m not sure I would consider its flavor to be a definite dulce de leche; it leans more towards a buttery cookie with a light touch of caramel. I wouldn’t consider dulce de leche to be an ice cream creation; perhaps this flavor should’ve been called “Caramel Milkshake.” Just two cookies provide 1/4 of your daily saturated fat intake. Seems like a very tame flavor choice when compared with the root beer float flavor. Won’t buy them again.

Limited Edition Whipped Peanut Butter & S'mores Jif Whips

Instead of getting my hands messy with actual s’mores, I can get them messy with s’mores-flavored whipped peanut butter. (Spotted by Joshua at Walmart.)
