Life is full of difficult decisions. For me, few are harder than\u2026pint or half-gallon? Yes, I\u2019m talking about ice cream container sizes. It\u2019s quite a conundrum when I see a new flavor in the grocery store freezer. Should I save a few bucks and just get a pint, or be a high roller and pay up for the half-gallon? It\u2019s not even the money so much. Anyone can power through a subpar pint, but if you get a half-gallon that is filled with disappointment, then it just sits in your freezer until that day many months later when you finally open it again to see it has turned an odd color and looks like the landscape of Siberia. The reason for this review\u2019s unnecessarily long introduction is that I faced that decision when buying Blue Bell\u2019s new Cinnamon Twist ice cream. I\u2019m happy to report that I wisely chose the pint-sized version.<\/p>\n

If you love cinnamon, as I do, you might think this is the perfect concoction with, according to the package, \u201cbrown sugar cinnamon ice cream with cinnamon bun dough pieces in a cinnamon icing swirl.\u201d This ice cream is certainly not bad, and if you break into my house in a couple weeks to steal it from my freezer, it will probably be gone by then, but I don\u2019t regret not going all in on the half-gallon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The highlight of this ice cream is the cinnamon bun dough pieces. They are about the same size and shape as the various types of dough pieces that Dairy Queen uses in its Blizzards, and they are quite tasty. They are soft and chewy and have a touch of granular texture that really says sugary cinnamon bun dough. However, its friends, cinnamon ice cream and cinnamon icing swirl, sort of miss the mark. Luckily, the dough pieces were plentiful, but the flavor was lacking when I got a bite without one of those wonderful nuggets. And a taste of just ice cream with no bun pieces and no icing swirl had only a faint hint of cinnamon flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Again, this ice cream is fine but also forgettable. If the label promises three different kinds of cinnamon, then it leads to the expectation of some kind of crazy cinnamon party for your taste buds. That\u2019s where this one missed the mark a bit.<\/p>\n
