\"Blue<\/p>\n

What is Blue Bell Cookies \u2018n Cream Cone?<\/h3>\n

It’s the newest flavor from Blue Bell and is described as, to quote the packaging, “vanilla flavored ice cream with chocolate cr\u00e8me filled cookie crumbles, dark chocolate-coated chocolate cone pieces and a chocolate fudge swirl.” <\/p>\n

If you’re counting, the word “chocolate” is mentioned four times in the description but not once in the product’s name. And if you are a stickler for punctuation, you might wonder why chocolate-coated is hyphenated, but not vanilla flavored or cr\u00e8me filled. I have no answer for that, and it will probably keep me up tonight. <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

My first thought upon popping the top was that the quartet of chocolates in the description was not enough because all I saw was a small island of vanilla-ish color in the middle surrounded by a sea of chocolate. <\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

However, after some excavating, it turned out that there just happened to be a thin layer of the fudge swirl on the top. A full scoop has more of a traditional cookies’ n cream look.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

As for the taste, it was quite good and not overly chocolatey. The cookies’ n cream part was basically your standard cookies’ n cream flavor, but the fudge swirls added a nice chocolate boost and tasted a lot like Hershey’s syrup. <\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

The cone pieces provided some extra taste and texture, although they were hard to distinguish from the cookie pieces. The label was not kidding when it said “crumbles” either, as I didn’t find many cookie pieces of significant size. The cone pieces were larger but still fairly small. Overall, the flavors and textures all worked together splendidly. It would have been nice to have some more sizable chunks of both cookies and cone, however. <\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

In my dedication to providing you with the most comprehensive information available about this product, I actually read \u2014 OK, I skimmed \u2014 a press release about it. According to it, this new flavor is an homage to Blue Bell’s Cookie Cone product that launched in 1997, was sold mostly in school cafeterias, and discontinued in 2015. That product had a complete cone with a scoop of chocolate-coated ice cream, along with the same overly happy fake Oreo guy on the package.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

This is not the fanciest or most daring ice cream flavor out there, perhaps because Blue Bell sees itself as a more traditional ice cream maker. The packaging on this product is flashy by its standards, as most of its other flavors have just a solid color with the kid leading the cow logo. So if you want ice cream with Pop Rocks, Sour Patch Kids, or something like that in it, you have plenty of other options, but if you just want some good cookies’ n cream ice cream with a little something extra, this one is for you.<\/p>\n
