Destiny\u2019s Child.<\/p>\n

Nirvana. <\/p>\n

The Marx Brothers.<\/p>\n

Our society is made up of so many good trios, why not shove that logic into a container of ice cream? The master-churners at Haagen-Dazs have our backs with their new line of creamy crack simply dubbed \u201cTrio.\u201d The Salted Caramel Chocolate version combines layers of crispy Belgian chocolate with salted caramel ice cream and chocolate ice cream. Let\u2019s triple dip. <\/p>\n

Digging into the psuedo-pint makes a distinctly unique crunching sound as my spoon breaks through the layers of chocolate inside. The ice cream is of typical Haagen-Dazs high quality – the mellow chocolate and subdued salted caramel make sense to combine in a flavor like this, but they ultimately kind of cancel each other out. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always a risk to mix two ice cream bases, and here some of the subtle nuances of the caramel get washed over by the chocolate; which is a shame, because when you isolate the caramel on its own it\u2019s a pretty tasty flavor. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The star of the show, the Belgian chocolate, is kind of thin; actually thinner than a lot of chocolate chunks or Ben & Jerry\u2019s \u201cfudge flakes,\u201d and doesn\u2019t add as much of a thick texture as I would like. The effect is much more similar to just a standard chocolate mix-in than a thick layer of chocolate, and in that regard the taste is much less impressive than the visual. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It actually tastes a lot like one of Haagen-Dazs\u2019 ice cream bars got smashed up and squeezed into a carton, without that disgusting wooden stick that makes my teeth cringe. <\/p>\n

The flavor combo between the two ice creams and layers of milky chocolate is a lot like eating a Rolo, but less sweet and grainy. I like Rolo\u2019s, but I\u2019m not usually interested in more than two or three, and that\u2019s the same way I feel about this Trio. The flavors are good but lose their intrigue quickly and become a pretty single noted experience with the caramel nearly disappearing against all of the chocolate. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overall, it eats much more like a chocolate chocolate chip than an ice cream with salted caramel, and the flavor would have been much more effective with a vanilla ice cream to let the caramel actually come through and have any real impact. It\u2019s a well made product but the flavor distribution and execution could use some work.<\/p>\n
