I&#8217;ve purchased a number of H\u00e4agen-Dazs varieties and, just like 99 cent, physics-based iPhone games, they&#8217;re really hard to put down and I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve disliked any of them. <\/p>\n<p>The only thing I don&#8217;t like about H\u00e4agen-Dazs is having to put that damn umlaut above the first &#8220;a&#8221; and remembering to include the hyphen whenever I type their name.<\/p>\n<p>H\u00e4agen-Dazs&#8217; Limited Edition Salted Caramel Truffle ice cream is another H\u00e4agen-Dazs flavor I&#8217;ve had trouble putting the lid back on and sticking back in the freezer. I want to eat the whole not-quite-a-pint container in one sitting, but I can&#8217;t. The only thing that prevents me from doing so is looking at the nutrition facts and calculating how much saturated fat, calories, and sugar I&#8217;d be consuming if I did so.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, in case you were wondering, if I did eat the entire container, I&#8217;d take in 38.5 grams of saturated fat, or 192.5 percent of my recommended daily allowance; 980 calories; and 87.5 grams of sugar. <\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy caramel, the H\u00e4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Salted Caramel Truffle ice cream has enough of it that it should be arrested For Unlawful Caramel Knowledge. The ice cream consists of sweet-cream ice cream, salted caramel ribbons, and chocolatey salted caramel truffles. What&#8217;s &#8220;sweet-cream ice cream&#8221;? After tasting it, it&#8217;s just a fancy way of saying vanilla ice cream. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/27410581@N07\/6914649061\" title=\"View 'Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Truffle Closeup' on Flickr.com\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7184\/6914649061_6a62f69694.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Truffle Closeup\" width=\"500\" title=\"Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Truffle Closeup\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But back to the caramel. The salted caramel ribbons are rich and buttery, but, to be honest, the salted caramel didn&#8217;t taste any different from regular caramel. H\u00e4agen-Dazs says the French <i><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fleur_de_sel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fleur de sel<\/a><\/i> influenced this ice cream, so I was hoping there would be a slight salty crunch, but there wasn&#8217;t one. <\/p>\n<p>There are lots of chocolatey salted caramel truffles. In fact, I&#8217;ve gone through half of the container, and I&#8217;ve been able to scoop one up with each spoonful. Though they&#8217;re sitting in frozen cream, the truffles aren&#8217;t rock hard, and, surprisingly, they&#8217;re more caramel-y than chocolatey in flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the niggles I have with the H\u00e4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Salted Caramel Truffle Ice Cream, I really enjoyed it. But that&#8217;s because I love caramel. Thank goodness for the FDA-required nutrition label, because without it I&#8217;d eat a lot of this delicious ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1\/2 cup &#8211; 280 calories, 150 calories from fat, 17 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 160 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 25 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> H\u00e4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Salted Caramel Truffle Ice Cream<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $4.69<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 14 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> If you love caramel, you&#8217;ll enjoy this ice cream.
