But the milk chocolatey coating helps convince my taste buds that it, as a whole, is similar to the filled donut. <\/p>\n<p>Of the three, this was my second favorite of the bunch.<\/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\/2020\/06\/Klondike-Donuts-Frosted-Strawberry-Shell.jpeg?resize=600%2C440&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Klondike Donuts Frosted Strawberry Shell\" title=\"Klondike Donuts Frosted Strawberry Shell.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Frosted Strawberry is inspired by a strawberry jelly filled donut. It has strawberry frozen dairy dessert, a strawberry swirl, milk chocolate coating, rainbow sprinkles&#8230; Wait, there are? (Looks at one) Oh, there are, but they&#8217;re partially hidden in the coating. There&#8217;s also a white chocolatey drizzle.<\/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\/2020\/06\/Klondike-Donuts-Frosted-Strawberry-Interior.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Klondike Donuts Frosted Strawberry Interior\" title=\"Klondike Donuts Frosted Strawberry Interior.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s great about a jelly filled donut is how the flavor is potent when a bite is taken and the fruity filling oozes or squirts out. But this treat lacked that level of fruitiness. The chocolate almost completely hides the strawberry frozen dairy dessert from my taste buds. But all the blame shouldn&#8217;t be put on the shell alone. When I tried the pink frozen dessert by itself, it was milder than the strawberry in any Neapolitan ice cream I&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n<p>This was my least favorite of the three.<\/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\/2020\/06\/Klondike-Donuts-Triple-Chocolate-Shell.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Klondike Donuts Triple Chocolate Shell\" title=\"Klondike Donuts Triple Chocolate Shell.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s Triple Chocolate, which is the best of the bunch. According to Klondike, it has a chocolate cakey fried donut flavor with a dark chocolatey coating, dark crunch pieces, and a milk chocolatey drizzle.<\/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\/2020\/06\/Klondike-Donuts-Triple-Chocolate-Interior.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Klondike Donuts Triple Chocolate Interior\" title=\"Klondike Donuts Triple Chocolate Interior.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I assumed the frozen dessert had the &#8220;chocolate cake fried donut flavor.&#8221; But after trying it, it turns out that the creamy filling is the least chocolatey tasting part of the bar. Much like the previous two, the creamy interior has a mild taste. Instead, the fried donut comes from the dark chocolatey coating, dark crunch pieces, or both. However, to get that donut-like flavor when eating the treat whole, I had to savor each bite to pick up on the nuances in the bar that separate it from a typical dipped chocolate ice cream bar.<\/p>\n<p>Like all Klondike treats, the coating isn&#8217;t too thick. So biting into them will cause fissions throughout the rest of the chocolate. So my Public Service Announcement to you is to eat them over a plate, the wrapper they come in, or a bowl of ice cream that could use some toppings. <\/p>\n<p>Klondike Donuts are perfectly fine frozen dairy dessert novelties, especially the Boston Cream and Triple Chocolate varieties, since their flavors do somewhat make me think of the round treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free samples from Klondike\/Unilever.
