In fact, I still can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>All pop culture references aside, let&#8217;s cut to the chase. Thank you, Kit Kat Ice Cream, for being an amazing treat. I&#8217;ve always liked Kit Kat bars since they seem a little bit lighter and I can eat one and be perfectly satisfied. With this ice cream, I wasn&#8217;t quite satisfied&#8230; because I liked it so much I needed more. #wentbackforseconds<\/p>\n<p>The description says that the product is chocolate light ice cream with a wafer swirl and Kit Kat candy pieces. So here&#8217;s the most important thing to note: This is NOT Kit Kat flavored ice cream. It&#8217;s chocolate. The Kit Kat comes in a second.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Kit-Kat-Ice-Cream-2018-2.jpg?resize=550%2C551&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kit Kat Ice Cream  2018 2\" title=\"Kit Kat Ice Cream (2018) 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"551\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At first bite, the chocolate ice cream was delightful. Light, as described, and very creamy. It actually reminded me of a Wendy&#8217;s Frosty, as it was a little &#8220;meltier&#8221; and not as solid. (It was, in fact, in the freezer for a while before consuming &#8211; in case you thought that might have contributed to the meltiness.) <\/p>\n<p>Within each bite of glorious ice cream are Kit Kat candy pieces. They definitely did not skimp on the candy pieces. I can confidently say that I got them in 95 percent of my bites. Next time there&#8217;s chocolate chips in an ice cream, can I substitute for Kit Kat pieces? To me, they tasted more like a dark chocolate than the usual milk chocolate&#8230; and I certainly wasn&#8217;t complaining. My only gripe was that the Kit Kat flavor from the candy was slightly overpowered by the ice cream. Not by much, but enough for me to knock my rating down a few points.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Kit-Kat-Ice-Cream-2018-3.jpg?resize=500%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kit Kat Ice Cream  2018 3\" title=\"Kit Kat Ice Cream (2018) 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The wafer swirl was a nice addition, but it wasn&#8217;t super apparent. I barely noticed it as I took off the ice cream lid, and it was only faintly visible once I scooped. There was a little flavor from it as I ate, but the Kit Kat pieces were the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance.<\/p>\n<p>The ice cream did effect the crispiness of the Kit Kat pieces &#8212; more of a chocolate flavor with a small hint of the wafer inside. But the wafer swirl helps make up for the crispiness inside the pieces.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite thing about this ice cream was that you could eat a decent amount of it and not feel weighed down. Looking at the nutritional facts, it&#8217;s not bad for a dessert. If you&#8217;re staying home on a Saturday night dateless eating straight out of a tub of ice cream, I recommend this one. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1\/2 cup \u2013 140 calories, 5 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 17 grams of sugar, 3 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.34<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 1.5 qts.<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Giant Eagle<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> A multitude of Kit Kat candy pieces.
