What are Sour Patch Kids Frozen Dessert Bars?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A vague raspberry flavored ice surrounding a vague vanilla ice cream-like substance, dotted with flavorless bits of Sour Patch Kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These didn’t succeed, despite seeming like a great idea on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “redberry” ice pop portion was refreshing and tasted fine. Like Sour Patch Kids candy, it started sour then transitioned to sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I still don’t actually know what “Redberry” is. It tasted like a combination of all the red berries (rasp, straw, even cran), but raspberry was most prominent, so I’m rolling with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “dairy” portion that they or I wouldn’t dare call “ice cream,” was quite bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, the vanilla gets masked by the sourness of the Redberry ice, which is much colder than the “dairy,” so it’s pretty off-putting once you get to the bottom chunk of exposed vanilla. That’s the only time you can actually distinguish the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The worst part may have been the texture. It’s a slimy, synthetic, custard-like block that only gets worse with the addition of rubbery Sour Patch Kids “bitz.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Redberry ice overwhelms all the other flavors. There’s no strong vanilla ice cream taste at all, and the bits of the various Sour Patch Kid flavors are completely wasted. That was a bummer. I wanted to taste those since you only get one flavor of ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever had a custard and ice mix from a place like Rita’s or Ralph’s, this tastes like a dollar store version of those in bar form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I think these would succeed better as two separate ideas altogether. I’m sure they exist, but they should just sell SPK flavored ice pops and custard bars with candy bits as two different products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t even bother with these. There are 100 things better in the same aisle. If you need a Sour Patch Kids fix, just stick with the candy and mix them into a better frozen dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe, everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
