Dubba Scoops<\/a> did not want any more;
\nThe freezers were stocked to the brim with care
\nIn hopes for warmer weather to soon be there;<\/p>\nBut the folks at Breyers had all these ideas dancing through their heads
\nWith visions of mint and frozen cocoa leading their team through winter’s dread;
\nCombining dark chocolate and peppermint ice creams, throwing in chocolatey chips, and everything else in sight
\nThey thought, what more could one want to cap off a perfect Christmas night?<\/em><\/p>\n
How is it?<\/h3>\n
Very chocolatey! <\/p>\n

Alright, maybe that’s something to be expected of a treat modeled after hot cocoa, but let me be clear, this stuff is way more cocoa-forward than I was expecting. I couldn’t even see the peppermint ice cream when I lifted the lid off this sucker, and it took a few inches of hardcore chiseling with a heavy-duty spoon to even find a thin seam of peppermint buried within all the chocolate slag. <\/p>\n
The ice cream’s flavor is similarly disproportionate. Although the chocolate ice cream is good, it covers up what little presence the peppermint has in this tub. Eating slowly and intentionally, I could barely taste it, but, I mean, who usually eats ice cream mindfully and methodically? I’ll bet most people will plow through this container without ever noticing any peppermint. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As for the chocolatey chips, they’re abundant and yummy, but I can’t help but feel as though they’re a bit misplaced. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t typically have solid chunks of chocolate in my hot cocoa. Instead of doubling down on the chocolate, Breyer’s could have brought this limited edition flavor home by mixing in miniature marshmallows or even crushed peppermint bits. Anything that could have helped the mint stand up to the chocolate’s overwhelming presence.<\/p>\n
Is there anything else you should know?<\/h3>\n
For the Frozen Dairy Dessert haters out there, never fear, because this is actual ice cream. Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, this flavor isn’t too different from Breyers’ 2017 Chocolate Mint ice cream. Oh well, at least this version has festive packaging.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h3>\n
I wish this had had more peppermint to balance out all the chocolate, but, overall, it’s a decent ice cream. If you like your hot cocoa frozen, and you don’t mind crumbling a few candy canes on top, I’d say this is a solid choice if you’re looking for holiday-themed ice cream.<\/p>\n
