\"McDonald<\/p>\n

When was the last time you bought regular Chips Ahoy! Cookies?<\/p>\n

I’m talking about those run of the mill, plain ol’ blue bag Chocolate Chip Chips Ahoy!?<\/p>\n

I bet it wasn’t recently. Why would you? I did the math, and there are approximately 394 better cookie options sold in any supermarket at any given time. Hell, Chips Ahoy (no more exclamation points) spinoffs probably equate for about 50% of those.<\/p>\n

They’re iconic, but they’re just not that<\/em> good anymore. They’ve been lapped. I have no time for the old school “meh” flavor and texture of a regular Chips Ahoy, so why do I wanna try them as an ice cream topper so badly?<\/p>\n

I guess I can chalk it up to loving the Chipwich<\/a>. And the McDonald’s McFlurry.<\/p>\n

The newest member of the McDonald’s frozen family blends chunks of Chips Ahoy cookies and caramel in its classic vanilla soft serve ice cream.<\/p>\n

A blended Chipwich with caramel swirls? That sounds damn good to me regardless of the cookie.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever had a McFlurry – and I know you have – you know that iconic vanilla soft serve is a perfect base.<\/p>\n

\"McDonald<\/p>\n

McDonald’s soft serve will forever hold a soft spot in my heart. I always reminisce about getting one of those complimentary tiny cones when I went there as a kid. I wish they sold it as a standard vanilla ice cream in stores, so I can mess around and make my own McFlurry Frankenstein monsters at home.<\/p>\n

\"McDonald<\/p>\n

The aforementioned “meh” texture of Chips Ahoy makes for an ideal ice cream add-in. They never lose that crunch, and I just find that it works better in morsel-sized bites.<\/p>\n

\"McDonald<\/p>\n

The heaping blob of caramel piped into the ice cream is the star of the show. It acted as a binding agent that delivered a generous bite of cookie with every scoop of ice cream.<\/p>\n

As I ate on, I realized exactly what this reminded me of — a coconut-less Girl Scout Samoas Sundae.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how I could dislike a cookie so much but love it when it’s added to ice cream. But here we are. I feel the same way about the original Milk Chocolate bag of M&M’s. I would never buy them on their own, yet I can’t get enough of them in ice cream.<\/p>\n

This was one of the better McFlurries I’ve had in ages. It also acted as a delicious neutralizing dessert for the Spicy McNuggets (I’d give them a 7 out of 10) I ate before it.<\/p>\n

I went in knowing it would be decent at worst. Vanilla ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, and caramel, how could it be bad? I came out shocked at just how good it was. Usually, a “snack size” McFlurry hits the spot just fine, but I was actually bummed I didn’t opt for at least a medium.<\/p>\n

I plan on trying the McNuggets again, so you better believe I’ll be chasing them with another Chips Ahoy McFlurry, exclamation point. I hope the ice cream machine is operational next time you hit up Mickey D’s because you need to give this a try.<\/p>\n
