\"Blue<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Continuing the Blue Bell tradition of generally using the most straightforward name possible, the new Salted Caramel Brownie flavor contains exactly what you would expect: chocolate brownie pieces with a salted caramel swirl in vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

OK, I guess I\u2019m contractually obligated to provide a longer answer, so let me expound a bit. The brownies are the best part of this, although they seemed to be somewhat sparsely mixed into my pint. When I did get a brownie piece in a bite, it was perfectly chewy and chocolatey. The problem was most bites didn\u2019t have any brownies.<\/p>\n

The caramel swirl was also pleasant. It had only a subtle saltiness and a nice creaminess that reminded me of a Werther\u2019s Original caramel, even though I can\u2019t remember the last time I\u2019ve actually had one of those.<\/p>\n

The vanilla ice cream was kind of just there to hold the brownies and caramel. This might have been a bit better if the ice cream base was either chocolate or caramel, but Blue Bell didn\u2019t consult with me for some reason.<\/p>\n

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

\"Blue<\/p>\n

The \u201cswirl\u201d part was a bit different than I expected. Especially with caramel, it seems like a swirl usually consists of significant pockets of the gooey stuff that looks like rivers flowing through the ice cream. But for this flavor, you don\u2019t get those big pools of caramel in different spots. Instead, it\u2019s more evenly dispersed, so you get some in virtually every bite, even if it\u2019s a little hard to see the caramel. As much as I like finding those nice mother lodes of swirl, I also enjoyed this version where it\u2019s almost blended in.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

This flavor falls into the broad category of PGBF, or Pretty Good But Forgettable. The brownies are good, the caramel swirl is good, and the vanilla ice cream is good, but this one doesn\u2019t really differentiate itself from any other caramel brownie options that are out there.<\/p>\n
