Second, it\u2019s kind of strange to launch a new ice cream flavor when three-fourths of the U.S. is still frozen from winter. But, luckily, I think ice cream tastes best when it\u2019s 30 degrees outside. Anyone else?<\/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\/Rolo-Frozen-Dairy-Dessert-Cones-and-Sandwiches-6.jpg?resize=598%2C377&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 6\" title=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 6.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"377\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Being the eager beaver, I scarfed down one cone, one sandwich, and an entire Rolo roll in one sitting. I started with the cone simply because of the packaging, which looks like Nestle\u2019s Drumsticks but in a different outfit. As for the sandwich&#8217;s packaging, no one will care about it because it was a sad plastic sight next to the full-color cone.<\/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\/Rolo-Frozen-Dairy-Dessert-Cones-and-Sandwiches-2.jpg?resize=550%2C551&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 2\" title=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"551\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although the cone&#8217;s packaging was pretty, it was hard to get off. There was some chocolate ice cream and caramel stuck on the side and it broke off the best part &#8211; the chocolate nugget at the bottom of the cone. While I rescued it, eating the chocolate nugget first felt all wrong. Order of operations, Nestle!<\/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\/Rolo-Frozen-Dairy-Dessert-Cones-and-Sandwiches-3.jpg?resize=599%2C459&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 3\" title=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"459\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the top part of the cone with the chocolate frozen dairy dessert and caramel. It reminded me of a Rolo without the caramel stuck in my teeth. Then, I got to the vanilla part and chocolatey cone. These elements added nothing but sweetness. The cone tasted more like a standard sugar cone AND, while there was a crunching sound, it was soggy!<\/p>\n<p>I loved three-eighths of the cone &#8211; the chocolate and caramel top and the chocolate nugget bottom &#8211; but the other five-eighths was disappointing. <\/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\/Rolo-Frozen-Dairy-Dessert-Cones-and-Sandwiches-4.jpg?resize=525%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 4\" title=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"525\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had even lower expectations for the sandwich. I took it out of the plastic and thought, \u201cWhat makes this Rolo again?\u201d It looked like a regular vanilla ice cream sandwich. I had to re-read the box to remind myself it was caramel swirled into caramel frozen dairy dessert that didn&#8217;t even look caramel colored. It was plain white, but it definitely tasted sweeter than vanilla.<\/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\/Rolo-Frozen-Dairy-Dessert-Cones-and-Sandwiches-5.jpg?resize=598%2C421&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 5\" title=\"Rolo Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones and Sandwiches 5.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"421\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only flavor I could really discern was the chocolate cookie. So it reminded me of eating a sweeter version of a Carnation ice cream sandwich. Nothing about this was Rolo-y. <\/p>\n<p>Final Takeaway? If you\u2019re craving a Rolo, just eat the candy (or the top part of the cone).<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; <b>Cones<\/b> &#8211; 180 calories, 6 grams of fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 90 milligrams of sodium, 29 grams of carbohydrates, 20 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. <b>Sandwich<\/b> &#8211; 120 calories, 3 grams of fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 110 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of sugar, and 1 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.49 each<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 4 cones or 5 sandwiches per box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Kroger<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10 (Cone)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 4 out of 10 (Sandwich) <br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Nice packaging on the cone!
