The press release states that \u201cfans can enjoy the classic pop and fizz of their favorite carbonated beverage in a delicious cr\u00e8me filled cookie.\u201d This intriguing concept seems to indicate that the cr\u00e8me contains pieces of popping candy. The cookies feature cherry or blue raspberry cr\u00e8me sandwiched between vanilla wafers.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to try the cherry flavor first, as that would be the most familiar to me. In my youth, I always drank the cherry or cola-flavored ICEEs. I opened the package and my sense of smell was walloped by an intense artificial cherry aroma. It was shockingly potent.<\/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\/2022\/04\/iceecook2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ICEE Cookies Cherry Creme\" title=\"iceecook2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I pulled a cookie out and twisted it apart, exposing the fluorescent cr\u00e8me. I jumped right in and pulled the cr\u00e8me off with my tongue. The flavor immediately reminded me of an actual cherry ICEE. It was saccharine, but not overbearing. It was an artificial cherry flavoring, but never veered into cough syrup territory. There were tiny crunchy bits integrated throughout the cr\u00e8me. I could feel a very mild sensation of effervescence, but it was much more understated than expected. It wasn\u2019t exactly \u201cfizzy.\u201d<\/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\/2022\/04\/iceecook3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ICEE Cookies Logo\" title=\"iceecook3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cookies themselves had a faint vanilla flavor, but not nearly enough to be considered a \u201cvanilla wafer.\u201d They tasted closer to a nondescript shortbread, but it doesn\u2019t particularly matter since they exist solely as a vessel for the cr\u00e8me. The cookie allowed the cr\u00e8me to take center stage.<\/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\/2022\/04\/iceecook5.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ICEE Cookies Blue Raspberry Package\" title=\"iceecook5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I then opened the blue raspberry package and was greeted with a softer yet still immediately familiar aroma. I employed the same approach and tried the cr\u00e8me on its own first. It was a standard blue raspberry flavor, but was noticeably sweeter, stronger, and more artificial tasting than the cherry. I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ve ever had a blue raspberry ICEE, so I can\u2019t speak to its accuracy. Oddly, the blue raspberry cookies seemed to have more popping candy in the cr\u00e8me, which helped to make them feel slightly fizzier. When eating a whole cookie, it felt like a somewhat disjointed experience. The cr\u00e8me filling was just too domineering.<\/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\/2022\/04\/iceecook4.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ICEE Cookies Blue Raspberry Creme\" title=\"iceecook4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For me, the cherry-flavored ICEE cookies feel like a more cohesive presentation. The vanilla-esque wafers work better with the cherry-flavored cr\u00e8me. I will be the first to admit that my judgment could be clouded by nostalgia, though. Had I consumed blue raspberry ICEEs by the bucketload as a child, perhaps I\u2019d have a different opinion.<\/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\/2022\/04\/iceecook6.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ICEE Cookies Bear\" title=\"iceecook6.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ICEE cookies are a unique idea with an underwhelming execution. If the cr\u00e8me filling had more (or more effective) popping candy, these would be even better. An improved wafer would also elevate the experience. If you\u2019re a big ICEE fan, then these may be worth your time for flavor alone. I would steer clear, though, if the only appeal is the popping candy in the cr\u00e8me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.28 each<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 13 oz. package<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Fry\u2019s<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10 (Cherry), 6 out of 10 (Blue Raspberry)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2 cookies) 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 160 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICEE has launched a new line of sandwich cookies that are meant to evoke the flavors of its iconic frozen drinks.
