\"International<\/a><\/p>\n

If you were to hack into the databases that contain my Safeway and Target purchases, you’d know I buy a lot of International Delight Iced Coffee…and Pepto Bismol. However, because I buy IDIC regularly (yes, I’m too lazy to type its name out, but not lazy enough to type an aside that says I’m too lazy to type its name out), I’ve gotten a little tired of the flavors they have — original, mocha, vanilla, and caramel macchiato.<\/p>\n

The overcaffienated folks at International Delight (ID) have a long history of teaming up with other brands to make a variety of coffee creamers that’ll make any burnt office coffee (Except yours, Brad!) taste so much better, like Almond Joy, Cinnabon, Heath, York Peppermint Patty, Cold Stone Creamery, and Hershey’s. And now the jittery employees at ID have done the same with their iced coffee, creating International Delight Cold Stone Creamery Sweet Cream Iced Coffee and Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme Iced Coffee.<\/p>\n

The latter combines iced coffee with the flavor of Hershey\u2019s I-Want-To-Say-They\u2019re-Popular-But-I\u2019ve-Never-Seen-Anyone-Buy-Them Cookies \u2019n\u2019 Creme candy bar. If you\u2019re one of those people who has never purchased a Hershey\u2019s Cookies \u2019n\u2019 Creme bar, it\u2019s made with white chocolate and tiny chocolate cookie balls. Although I\u2019ve never seen anyone else buy it, I do purchase it on occasion and prefer it over a regular milk chocolate Hershey\u2019s bar because of its flavor and it\u2019s like a bizarro Nestle Crunch bar.<\/p>\n

In previous IDIC reviews, I mentioned how the coffee flavor is heavily masked by the cream, sugar, and flavoring, but it’s somewhat noticeable. Well, with International Delight\u2019s Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme Iced Coffee it\u2019s almost nonexistent, getting lost within the chocolate cookie balls flavoring. This causes the creamy beverage to taste more like a cookies \u2019n\u2019 creme-flavored milk. This will be a problem for those who enjoy the flavor of coffee, but it appears it hasn\u2019t been an issue for me because I\u2019ve purchased three cartons so far. Actually, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because I\u2019m tired of the other flavors, but this flavor is now my favorite.<\/p>\n

What I like most about International Delight\u2019s Hershey’s Cookies \u2019n\u2019 Creme Iced Coffee is how they nailed the flavor of the chocolate cookie balls from the candy bar. It\u2019s as if they went the cereal milk route and dumped a bunch of chocolate cookie balls into an iced coffee with a lot of milk and then strained the liquid. The creme doesn\u2019t taste like white chocolate, which is a good thing because I don\u2019t think white chocolate milk would be pleasing.<\/p>\n

International Delight’s Hershey\u2019s Cookies \u2019n\u2019 Creme Iced Coffee is creamy and thick (Thanks cream and carrageenan!) and has a unique flavor that makes it taste like a fancy chocolate milk. A caffeinated fancy chocolate milk, I might add (76 milligrams of caffeine per cup). I\u2019ll definitely be purchasing more with my Pepto Bismol.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> International Delight Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Cream Iced Coffee
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $4.99 (on sale)
\nSize:<\/b> Half gallon
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Safeway
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> My favorite International Delight Iced Coffee flavor. International Delight nailed the chocolatey cookie flavor and it’s the most dominant flavor. Thick and creamy (Thanks cream and carrageenan). If it’s like their other flavors, it has 76 milligrams of sweet, sweet caffeine. Getting to type “chocolate cookie balls” several times in a review.
\nCons:<\/b> Drink something else or add more coffee to this if you love the flavor of coffee, because it’s like drinking Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme milk. Still no caffeine content listed on carton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
