REVIEW: Dreyer’s Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookie Ice Cream

Who hasn’t heard of Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookies?

Well, did you know Dreyer’s has collaborated with the Girls Scouts to make a Thin Mint Cookie ice cream?

Well, they have! Believe it or not, I didn’t know this!

*gasp*

“What, MsWonka didn’t know Dreyer’s made a Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie Ice Cream???? What kind of Chocolate freak are you anyway?”

First of all, I’ll have you know we hardly EVER buy ice cream, not even the Chocolate flavored ones. We don’t need it in the house and secondly, I make my OWN ice cream during the summer months.

SO THERE!  Haha!

ANYWAY, my husband recently bought a box of Dreyer’s “light” version of the Girl Scout Thin Mint ice cream. I have to say for a light ice cream it’s pretty darn good. We honestly didn’t notice it was the light version until I saw the wording on the container.  It still tasted rich, creamy and had a hint of the Thin Mint flavor.  All in all, I’d recommend it.

It looks pretty good don’t you think?

Then a few days later, I happened to be at the grocery store and saw Dreyer’s also sells the “fully loaded” fat version of the Girl Scout’s Thin Mint Cookie ice cream.

Needless to say, I HAD to try this version to see how different the flavor was.

The first bite just about knocked my socks off.  My taste buds were doing a MAJOR “happy dance”.  I instantly thought, “The light version sucks compared to this one.  YUUUUUUM!!!”  It was no contest in my book, FAT WINS!!!

As you can see from the picture below, the fat version has Chocolate throughout the ice cream as well as the broken up Thin Mint Cookies like the lighter version has.  The extra Chocolate did the trick, as if that was a surprise!

I’d still recommend the light Thin Mint ice cream though.  After all, I’ll eat just about any and everything with Chocolate in it, no matter how little it has.

How about you?  Have you tried Dreyer’s Girl Scouts Thin Mint Ice Cream? If so, what do you think of it?  Love it or hate it?
