\"Haagen<\/p>\n

Sometimes gravity sucks.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure even Issac Newton realized that after the umpteenth apple hit his head.<\/p>\n

While he had apples to prove how not awesome gravity can be, we have chocolate-dipped ice cream bars. Taking bites into them causes sweet tectonic plates to crumble, shift, separate, and, thanks to our “friend” gravity, eventually fall to the ground or clothing where the five-second rule is no longer applicable because the melty chocolate adheres itself to whatever it lands on. That causes some of us to let out an expletive or two internally or externally. <\/p>\n

But H\u00e4agen-Dazs has solved this problem with its new Soft-Dipped Ice Cream Bars.<\/p>\n

\"Haagen<\/p>\n

They’re available with either vanilla, chocolate, or caramel ice cream, and all feature a soft-dipped chocolate truffle coating.<\/p>\n

The ice cream has the typical H\u00e4agen-Dazs quality \u2014 creamy, sweet, and enjoyable. While the chocolate and vanilla varieties just feature their respective ice cream flavors, the third one also has a caramel swirl. But with the two bars I’ve eaten, there hasn’t been much of any gooey caramel goodness. None of the varieties stand out to me, probably because they\u2019re basic flavors. I like them all equally.<\/p>\n

\"Haagen<\/p>\n

As for the coating’s flavor, it has a pleasant cocoa taste that, with its slight bitterness, leans more towards dark chocolate. It allows some of the ice cream’s flavor to come through, but it pretty much dominates every bite.<\/p>\n

But does the coating allow me to keep my Tide-To-Go Pen unsheathed whenever I eat these bars?<\/p>\n

Short answer:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Long answer:<\/strong> Out of the four bars I’ve eaten so far, I’ve only had a small loose piece fall to the ground with one of them. But that was with my most recent bar, and I think it was my fault because it happened while I was dancing to celebrate about how cool it is that the soft-dipped coating didn’t shatter with each bite. But, to be honest, it feels like it’s going to come apart, but it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Although H\u00e4agen-Dazs’ Soft-Dipped Ice Cream Bars have simple flavors, I appreciate the brand’s efforts here with the coating that keeps me clean. It won’t earn the brand a Nobel Peace Prize in physics, but it has won my award for Ice Cream Bar That Will Make Me Swear Less and Does Not Force Me To Pre-Treat My Clothes.<\/p>\n
