The Fudge Brownie piece that wasn’t

Maybe Nestle should stick to making candy bars. They do so much better at it than ice cream. At least that is my opinion. I recently bought their “New” brand of ice cream,Country Creamery. And while I will say that the ice cream itself was tasty, the advertising department needs work.

I bought the Fudge Brownie Sundae… this sells in 1.75quart sizes for around $3.00… Ok, I will buy any new brand of chocolate and fudge brownie mixed together, often just for shits and giggles. Well, by the time I got to the middle of this 1.75 quart container, I was not giggling. About the only thing I got out of it, worth while was the reusable container. It comes in a plastic container similar to a baby wipes box (sporting a fresh lock lid).

It advertised as having “rich chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge and moist, chewy brownie pieces” – First off, they lied. There is nothing worse than having the second main ingredient being chocolate fudge and finding out that the only fudge in the whole thing is a thin line skating across the top layer. The fudge brownie pieces (advertised as the third main ingredient) were non existent… my children leave bigger crumbs than there were total pieces. I was on the phone ranting about the ice cream to my sister (and pleading with her not to waste her money) when I suddenly realized, that I had gotten to the last layer and had yet to find an actual brownie piece! So I decide to do what any self-respecting chocaholic would do… DIG FOR THEM. Only, they weren’t there. I found one… again, let me restate that my children leave bigger crumbs than this.

So let’s sum up what we have here, new brand of ice cream sans 2 of the 3 main listed ingredients, 1 irate chocolate fiending mom and therefore chocolate attack left unfilled…

Maybe Nestle should put a warning: Chocolate fudge and brownie pieces not included. This way I will know to swing through and pick up some fudge and brownies to round out my next chocolate fit.

Better yet, I will issue and apology to my 2 favorite men on the face of the earth:
Ben and Jerry, I am so sorry for ever doubting that anyone can do chocolate fudge brownie better than you!! I raise my licked, polished clean spoon to you! Can you ever forgive me?
