My mother used to buy boxes of them from the supermarket, and while they\u2019re classics, my choice was always Toasted Almond. (Chocolate \u00c9clair was great, but a distant third and I\u2019ve never had Cookies and Cream.)<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t had one of those babies in ages, so when I saw Good Humor had a Reese\u2019s bar on the market, it was like hearing the Good Humor truck song all over again.<\/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\/03\/Good-Humor-Reeses-Bar-3.jpg?resize=449%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Good Humor Reese s Bar 3\" title=\"Good Humor Reese's Bar 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"449\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These certainly look the part of a Good Humor bar. I was excited about the prospect of the chocolate and peanut butter crumb exterior, as that was always my favorite part.<\/p>\n<p>I plucked a few crumb pieces off and tasted them individually. They weren\u2019t bursting with the Reese\u2019s flavor I was hoping for, but no big deal. I trudged on and went for a bite.<\/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\/03\/Good-Humor-Reeses-Bar-4.jpg?resize=599%2C433&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Good Humor Reese s Bar 4\" title=\"Good Humor Reese's Bar 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The look of the ice cream itself was a bit uninspiring. It has a very light khaki color, that resembled cake texturally.<\/p>\n<p>As for the flavor, the ice cream was not nearly as peanut buttery as I had hoped. Not only that, I felt the chocolate almost took a bit away from the already weak peanut butter.<\/p>\n<p>The crumbs enhanced the experience a bit but weren\u2019t as crunchy as I remember them being back in the day. They almost added a \u201cstale\u201d element to the bar to be honest. My memory could just be off here, but the bites felt less satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>Look, you slap the name \u201cReese\u2019s,\u201d on anything, and I\u2019ll enjoy it. I\u2019d brush my teeth with Reese\u2019s toothpaste if they felt inclined to make it. The Reese\u2019s brand has never let me down, until now.<\/p>\n<p>These aren\u2019t very flavorful. They\u2019re boring \u2013 I mean, pretty good boring, but boring.<\/p>\n<p>These bars are one step above eating those healthy ice creams that people on diets pretend is good but actually tastes like ice you chip off the wall of an old freezer. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m disappointed a Reese\u2019s product didn\u2019t live up to my standards. Don\u2019t get me wrong, you\u2019ll probably still enjoy these, but I see no reason to recommend them. They\u2019re middle of the road but aren\u2019t better than the Good Humor OG\u2019s. They\u2019re not better than any other Reese\u2019s products, and they\u2019re probably not better than any other peanut butter item in the frozen section, so really, why bother? <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 Bar \u2013 180 calories, 100 calories from fat, 11 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 105 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 13 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 6-pack box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Stop &#038; Shop<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Taste like Reese\u2019s light.
