I know \u201crice dough\u201d might not seem delicious, but I assure you, the ice cream stands out and the mochi\u2019s texture is a wonderful contrast to the creamy ice cream. One of the first companies to offer mochi ice cream, Bubbies, has two holiday flavors \u2014 Chocolate Egg Nog and Peppermint Candy.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\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\/12\/20181220Bub2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bubbies Chocolate Egg Nog Mochi Ice Cream\" title=\"20181220Bub2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the egg nog one because it\u2019s the one I dream about when I close my eyes. It tastes like the holiday beverage in frozen treat form. While the nog spices excite my taste buds, the chocolate mochi exterior doesn&#8217;t come into play because the flavor of the ice cream is so rich and strong. But despite that, I adore these. <\/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\/12\/20181220Bub3.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bubbies Peppermint Candy Mochi Ice Cream\" title=\"20181220Bub3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Peppermint Candy, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t appear in my dreams, but the flavor is spot on. The level of mint is not intense. It&#8217;s slightly more sweet than minty, which is just like actually peppermint candy. The mochi exterior with this one also doesn\u2019t play a significant role with the flavor. I enjoyed it, but it doesn&#8217;t make me want to go all mochi ice cream monster on the entire pack,  like the other one does. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>There are only six of them in each box, which go for about $5-$6 per box. And each one is about two inches in diameter and weigh 1.25 ounces. So if you do the math, it\u2019s pricey for the amount of ice cream you get.<\/p>\n<p>Also, while Bubbies is a company based in Hawaii, its mochi ice cream is available across the country. You can find them at Whole Foods and other grocers.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Bubbies\u2019 Chocolate Egg Nog and Peppermint Candy Mochi Ice Cream are great, but as you can tell from what I\u2019ve written, I love the Chocolate Egg Nog way more because, full disclosure, I\u2019m an egg nog hog.<\/p>\n<p>DISCLOSURE: I received free samples from Bubbies, but doing so didn&#8217;t influence my review.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> FREE<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 7.5 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Received from Bubbies<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10 (Chocolate Egg Nog)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Peppermint Candy)<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (1 piece) <strong>Chocolate Egg Nog<\/strong> &#8211; 90 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 10 milligrams of sodium, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein. <strong>Peppermint Candy<\/strong> &#8211; 90 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 10 milligrams of sodium, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Bubbies Chocolate Egg Nog and Peppermint Candy Mochi Ice Cream?
