In 2017, Blue Bunny introduced the Bunny Snacks line that features reduced fat ice cream bars with candy coatings and sandwiches. It debuted with four varieties \u2014 Chocolate Chip Cookie, Chocolate Vanilla Twist, Cookies \u2019n Cream, Salted Caramel Pretzel \u2014 all of which are still around.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the ice cream brand rolled out four new Bunny Snacks varieties \u2014 Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Hazelnut, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Mint Chocolate Twist.<\/p>\n

Strawberry Cheesecake Bunny Snacks<\/h3>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

The snack features cheesecake-flavored reduced fat ice cream topped with strawberry sauce and graham cracker crunch bits covered with cream cheese-flavored coating and drizzled with strawberry flavored ribbon.<\/p>\n

I reviewed a Pop-Tart that has half-strawberry filling and half-cheesecake-flavored filling. Combined they didn\u2019t taste like strawberry cheesecake because they lack the tanginess the dessert has. I bring up that Pop-Tart for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The strawberry sauce on this Bunny Snack reminds me of the strawberry Pop-Tarts filling. <\/li>\n
  2. This has the tang I wish the Pop-Tart had. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Blue<\/p>\n

    Some of you might think the tanginess comes from the cheesecake-flavored ice cream, and some of it does. But most of it is from the white cream cheese-flavored candy shell. That combined with the strawberry filling and drizzle creates a recognizable strawberry cheesecake-like flavor. The graham flavor isn\u2019t noticeable, but the pieces add some crunchiness. However, most of the texture contrasting the ice cream come from our tangy friend, the candy shell.<\/p>\n

    \"Blue<\/p>\n

    Even though there’s reduced fat ice cream and it doesn\u2019t have a strong flavor, everything around it hides those facts. Overall, Strawberry Cheesecake Bunny Snacks are sweet little treats.<\/p>\n

    Chocolate Hazelnut Bunny Snacks<\/h3>\n

    \"Blue<\/p>\n

    This bar has chocolate hazelnut-flavored reduced fat ice cream with a hazelnut fudge ribbon dipped in a chocolaty coating and hazelnut pieces drizzled with a chocolatey coating.<\/p>\n

    \"Chocolate<\/p>\n

    If someone slapped a Ferrero Rocher sticker on this bag\u2019s Blue Bunny logo, gave it to me, and I tried one of the treats, I wouldn\u2019t question the label and think these are from Ferrero Rocher. The questioning would begin after wondering why they\u2019re not wrapped in gold foil.<\/p>\n

    \"Chocolate<\/p>\n

    Even the texture of the bottom is as light and easily crumbly as a Ferrero Rocher\u2019s chocolate coating. Yes, it has reduced fat ice cream, but as I found with the other two candy-coated varieties, the layer and toppings do an excellent job at hiding the fact it has less fat. This one was my favorite of the bunch. <\/p>\n

    Vanilla Fudge Brownie Bunny Snacks<\/h3>\n

    \"Blue<\/p>\n

    This bunny snack features vanilla-flavored reduced fat ice cream topped with a layer of brownie batter and brownie brittle pieces covered in a milk chocolatey coating and candy drizzle.<\/p>\n

    \"Vanilla<\/p>\n

    The viscous brownie batter and crunchy brownie brittle pieces give the treat a flavor that\u2019s richer than milk chocolate. But the fudgy brownie and vanilla ice cream combo, while darn good, didn\u2019t get my taste buds jumping with excitement as much as the other two candy-coated Bunny Snacks. <\/p>\n

    \"Vanilla<\/p>\n

    If the other two didn\u2019t exist, I probably would\u2019ve liked this a bit more. But since Blue Bunny is giving us a number of Bunny Treat options and not everyone will buy all of them, I\u2019d recommend the other two before this one.<\/p>\n

    Mint Chocolate Twist Bunny Snacks<\/h3>\n

    \"Blue<\/p>\n

    This one isn\u2019t candy-coated like the others. Instead, it\u2019s an ice cream sandwich that features mint reduced fat ice cream with a fudge swirl inside that\u2019s between two chocolate chocolate chip cookies with a green candy drizzle. I have to admit after all the candy-coated goodness of the other three this one is less exciting. <\/p>\n

    Much like I don\u2019t read instructions before putting together anything, I didn\u2019t read the front of the packaging before eating this, so I didn\u2019t realize the two chocolate wafers are two chocolate chocolate chip cookies. But they sure didn\u2019t feel like cookies. They have the same soft texture as what slapped on an ice cream sandwich.<\/p>\n

    \"Mint<\/p>\n

    But because they\u2019re chocolate chip cookies, every so often my molars will mash tiny chocolate chips. However, there\u2019s another texture level in the wafers<\/del> cookies. There\u2019s a grittiness that feels as if there are sugar granules in them that provide micro crunches with every chew. I guess they make up for the cookies\u2019 lack of crunch.<\/p>\n

    The ice cream has the right amount of mint flavoring. It\u2019s not going to make you think you brushed your teeth, but it\u2019s also not light enough that the cookies overpower it. There\u2019s a delicate balance between the two parts that make for a pleasant treat. But without the candy coating, it\u2019s a bit basic compared with the others in the line. However, that does help make it a bit more waist-friendly than the others.<\/p>\n
