\"Museum<\/p>\n

Target\u2019s exclusive Museum of Ice Cream line has four new flavors this year — Malt Shake, Queen Bee, PB&P, and Cone Zone. To be honest, I didn\u2019t try any of the original varieties that debuted last year. I assume they must\u2019ve been decent to justify having new flavors. Well, let\u2019s find out how these new varieties are.<\/p>\n

Malt Shake<\/h3>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wanted to eat a Wendy\u2019s Chocolate Frosty without having to go to a Wendy\u2019s, the Museum of Ice Cream Malt Shake flavor would be one way to do it. Of course, the other way would be to order it via DoorDash and hope it\u2019s not a cup of chocolate malt soup when you get it.<\/p>\n

The pint features malted chocolate ice cream with mini malted milk balls. <\/p>\n

The base tastes like a hardened Wendy\u2019s Frosty, making it a pint that was hard for me to put down. One complaint I\u2019ve read about this is how the tasty base is a little gritty. It is, but being that it\u2019s supposed to be like a malted shake, it should be that way. After all, if I remember correctly, a Wendy\u2019s Frosty has some grittiness. <\/p>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

The Whoppers-like candy encased in the base taste and crunch better than the classic candy. Biting into one turns the maltiness up to 11. Unfortunately, there were significantly less than 11 of those mini malted milk balls in my pint. Hence, the reason why the photo above is an empty sea of malted chocolate ice cream.<\/p>\n

Malt Shake is a great flavor, and my favorite of the four, but it would\u2019ve been more fabulous with more balls.<\/p>\n

Queen Bee<\/h3>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

Of the four new flavors, Queen Bee sits on the throne. <\/p>\n

Nah, just kidding. I wanted to shoehorn that throne line into this review. But you already knew that since I mentioned Malt Shake is my favorite 15 seconds ago. It’s tasty, but it\u2019s not what I\u2019d hope it would be. It features honey ice cream with chocolatey covered honeycomb and English toffee with almonds.<\/p>\n

While there are two honey-related ingredients, Winnie the Pooh would take off his red shirt, stomp on it, and growl in protest of how little honey flavor the pint has. The honey ice cream reminds me of Ben & Jerry\u2019s Sweet Cream base, and the chocolatey coating overwhelms the honeycomb\u2019s flavor. The English toffee isn\u2019t Heath-like. Instead, they\u2019re like gloops of caramel with chunks of almonds.<\/p>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

With all that said, it\u2019s a decent ice cream, but it has a ho-hum flavor doesn\u2019t make me want to protect it by stinging anyone who might be a perceived threat to eat some of it. <\/p>\n

PB&P<\/h3>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

The PB stands for peanut butter, but the P stands for pretzels. The pint contains peanut buttery ice cream with chocolatey covered pretzel pieces and a peanut butter swirl. If you\u2019re a fan of sweet and salty, this would be the pint to get.<\/p>\n

Obviously, there\u2019s a potent peanut buttery presence. The ice cream base has a pleasant nutty and sweet flavor, while the swirl brings more of the salty side of peanut butter. The thing about the swirl is that it\u2019s not a gooey ingredient that\u2019s easy to scoop out. It\u2019s a hardened stream that I sometimes had to stab at to break it up into smaller pieces.<\/p>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

The chocolatey covered pretzels are a much-needed addition to cut through the rich peanut buttery flavor of the other two components. They have a significant crunch and the saltiness from the swirl enhances them. Unlike the chocolatey coating around the honeycombs in Queen Bee, the one that surrounds the pretzels doesn\u2019t mask the flavor of what\u2019s inside of it.<\/p>\n

Overall, PB&P is a good sweet and salty flavor, and my second favorite of the four.<\/p>\n

Cone Zone<\/h3>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

Finally, we have the pint that honors Conan O\u2019Brien. Just kidding. But it would\u2019ve been cool if it did. Inside the pint there\u2019s vanilla and chocolate ice creams with chocolate coated sugar cone pieces and a fudge ribbon.<\/p>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

The fudge ribbon tastes similar to the fudge flakes in Ben & Jerry\u2019s pints, but maybe a tad sweeter. Much like the peanut butter swirl in PB&P, the fudge in the pint is solid, which can lead to excavating things like this:<\/p>\n

\"Museum<\/p>\n

The ribbon also amps up the flavor to make the battle between the chocolate and vanilla ice creams in the pint unfair. And you might think the chocolate-coated sugar cone pieces might further enhance the cocoa flavor, but with most of them, I noticed a strong marshmallow flavor that made the chocolate less intense and prevented the pint from being overly one note.<\/p>\n

Cone Zone is a fine ice cream, but even with the crunchy sugar cone pieces, I didn\u2019t find it to be as exciting of a flavor as PB&P and Malt Shake. <\/p>\n
