To me, few things bring to mind those summer days carefree childhood as a good ol 'ice cream sandwich. And with the most consumed in July, a month before the National Ice Cream Sandwich Day on 2 August, I know I'm not the only one. In fact, almost all children of the suburbs and cities can probably remember rushing to the sound of the melody of a truck as a treasure hunt ear, clutching a handful of crumpled dollar notes or dirty currencies the pursuit of a new cold. Some loved the cheerful strawberry strawberry, the other companies: Popsicles, creams creams, fudguesicules.

But for me, theIce Cream Sandwich wasthis. It is a perfect marriage of texture chewy, creamy goodness of sweet vanilla, chocolate and earthy sticky fingers. His plate heated hand was a perfect shield for my sensitive teeth of the cold ice cream and also protected the ice cream from melting too quickly. It's genius.

The concept is a formerAround since about 1899. At the time,Ice Slices were sold Wrapped in paper in New York City Street Carts and called Hokey Pokeys. They have evolved into graham crackers instead of paper, then in iterations of forks and knives when all of Wall Street went into them, enriched with cakes and sponge cakes without crust. However, the way we know best, withclassic chocolate chips The cream vanilla sandwiching thick vanilla in a rectangular brick is not the norm in the 1940s, when the Jeremy Newberg populadia for nickel each at Old Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

Today,They are manufactured in factories andsuch craftsmen, andmuch in the same way by both. Their biscuits layers begin as baked chips bakedso intensely crisp, the filling side ejaculates. But once frozen with their filling, they soften the contact with the ice cream, and adhering to it are cheating the lines to create a semi-solid and wonderful treatment that feels nostalgia for the licking of fingers.

They are available in a variety of flavors in the mouth water these days, including my favorite adult, a chocolate chip mint by Fatboy, half swirling like skinny cows and limited editions as sugar cookie Fatboy and lime non organic dairy Alden. The iterations that have become classics themselves include biscuits and chocolate chip cookies through convainement waffles, waffles with Tillamook or Oreos with Klondike. But for purposes of this taste test, we wanted to find the best of the best classic decision: the most Chocolaterie plate, the most structurally sound but flexible filling vanilla-ish richer and richer, and most take--The field a play. We wanted to know if newcomers were participants dark horse, if innovators could improve conventional and if biology has made a difference.Here's what we found in the 12 ice cream sandwiches we tried, listed here from worst to best in terms of taste.

The name of this Sammie does not lie: they are indeed mini. Normally, in the case of sandwich ice cream, it is a negative, but in this case it was an advantage because they were ... not great. More recent market and hustle without corn syrup fructose and only eight ingredients in the ice cream, very sweet ice cream was rich French vanilla flavor that would keep well its solid state for a good farm cut, as we have tasted. However, the board has proved its failure.

Although we enjoyed the cute bunny logo pad on the wafer, the strange green tint to the light brown dog biscuit color that translates somehow not in pictures (on the box and in this test taste) was decidedly shifted. Unfortunately, that feeling carried over into the flavors of the board or its absence. The impression of taste was much more of caroubon chips and pea protein with your opposition barley, chocolate and gummy taste vegetative remained in the mouth too long after the bite disappeared.

The beautiful box promises "to end finger cookies" next to a long list of virtues, such as corn syrup, artificial sweeteners or flavorings, GMOs or carrageenan (which, by the way,is a perfectly fine ingredient) With only seven ingredients in the ice cream itself, and true organic vanilla, this option was palpably excited me to try it.

Under the envelope was a plate which was a 7 on a beige-black-dark balance her sister circular (which we'll get). Speckled with slightly sparkling points that resembled ghosts of coarse salt in the oven, he held a firm ice cream which was substantially precipitated, bringing an association with dairy products from grass-based (which is not). Unfortunately, the high-end associations ended. Upon sudden there was a strange flavor conservation, chemical preservation and ice cream with a strong sense of irony-artificiality. It tasted a little sour, which was not helped by a blur board which turned into paste, the chocolate flavor was not sufficiently distinct to recover.

With the only copy on the box referring to the Nostalgia, we thought it might be assumed safely that it was simply a more virtuous versionThe classicAs these films twenty years where a young boy sees the girl he teased her life after a summer camp to realize that it is fleurnée. Instead, it was more like the rapid transmission of 25 and drops it in a bar Townie Tuesday, seeking agreement but carrying luggage.

In addition to be organic, GMO-free and at least very few grams of sugar, is not particularly healthier. The plate was slightly salt-speckled, as was the organic Alden, and of similar color, but that's where the similarities were completed. The ice has had an undeniable element malty, with a very long finish and a sweetness that lingered. The plate was firm and had a quality bread, especially with a grainy flavor reminiscent of rye or barley. His finish was bitter, and all these features together have made the trouble to feel like it was more an Ice Cream Sandwich with beer beer, as these days of innocence. It was not offensive, but it was certainly surprising and certainly not one to choose to channel yesteryear.

The coconut has become a star break for dairy alternatives in recent years, character filled with grease and a cream rich in junk at the mouth, like anything else. Many policy makers have also managed to solve its distinctive flavor, winning even those who are not fans of coconut. So delicious, however, is not one of them, rather proud of the leadership of this profile.

Another mini, these non-dairy desserts do not claim to not be coconut substitutes. You can immediately feel and taste this primary ingredient. Unlike when cooking with coconut milk, where you get the creamy appearance and lose some of the front of the coconut, it is the opposite. Like traditional ice cream sandwiches, these memories remember a summer feeling, but less one at home while guiding in solar cream and Vibes Island. In fact, a criticism exclaimed at mid-bite, "it's a Piña Colada!" As it is so strongly coconutous that the already low chocolate flavor of the wafer is drowned. The fudgy texture makes it an excellent vehicle, but chocolate is just not strong enough to compete with the impression of fruit and its extreme softness.

Try to look in front of this terrifying box,where a ragily, too weathered, Anne The unifieds gummed to you through earthly terrantura meltersters. Store the packaging quickly, as we did to avoid its discomfort to relax our impartial judgment for a more equitable blind taste test of this brand of the 100-year texan brand for ice cream sandwich games.

Under the darkest brown, almost black-wafers of all the dozen, this ice cream was a closer white in an immediate contrast that seemed almost shining the plate. Even separated from the cookie, it was always the brightest of the group, but its spark is short-lived, fondus quickly because of a moving marrow aerated more like whipped cream than ice cream. This similarity brought to the flavor, which is light, sweet and not too sweet. The wafer was also not so soft and much less chocolate than provided with such deep color. Instead, it was more on the tasty end of the spectrum, with coffee and notes of Dutch cocoa that give bitterness to the bite. The unsound ice cream is lost throughout this land, as well as every bite, because it is copiously.

All of this brand lies in the use of Greek yogurt in its dessert formulas, but the question must be asked: Is it a health halo? Good type of. The first ingredient is milk, with Greek yogurt appearing very low on the list and offers only a negligible amount of protein-four grams against an average of two or three and corresponding to that of, say, of lean cow . However, it is supposed to be supposed to live and active crops, but live and active cultures and the number of people not specified.

Other pretends that this done is that it is "ridiculously creamy" and has "no artificial sweeteners or high intensity". None of these are out of base. The ice is neutral with a thick and velvety mouth, with the slightest hint of vanilla in the middle of light bean spots. Its finish is clean and clean, but not Tangy; There is nothing that shouts "yogurt" about this satisfactory joint. The wafer is soft, very sticky and fast to melt, dissolving in the mouth because it was simply a transport method rather than a key player. This makes it all the more surprising when he decides to stick like a peanut butter gulb on the roof of the mouth, gummy and persistent. The best way to get rid of it? Eat some ice cream! At 100 calories each, it's a calorie flight.

Novelty of the organic line of Alden, this one does not follow the formula of the old fashioned, which had fewer ingredients but many more traps. Similarly, this uses organic vanilla and has no GMOs, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners or aromatics or carragenaen. It is also a brown briquet and freezes considerably stronger.

The first bite, even without the visible spots, is indisputably the vanilla bean, with a brilliant, butter and butter flavor that ends with a finish of the Cagrrénia. Its thicker texture adds to this impression as well as its general talent, which is substantial. This sandwich has many solid ice creams. An acidic note that is not quite enluled but something that is associated prevents from being overwhelming. However, it's the plate that drags it. It is a brown briquet, a 4 or 5 on the scale, and is simply not very chocolate, or thick or sufficiently pronounced to balance vanilla. A dry and fluvious aftertaste erases the cocoa meaning. As a whole, it's good and enjoyable, but it's really an attempt to glow and, like whole foods 365 bio, do not scratch the itch of nostalgia.

A brand that has built an empire on the principle that you can have indulgent and fragrant desserts in perfectly reasonable portions, "a lean cow makes a lot of promises that we have wondered if they could stay. These round sandwiches also occur in added sugar versions, but with a caloric and sucalose difference barely perceptible as being the swap-out for corn syrup, it did not seem to be sticking. However, it is interesting to note that only 150 calories for a portion of 64 grams, it is not much less than its competitors, which float all around there. Consider that when you look at the heftiner price tag and satisfaction that you will get from a fat ice, as opposed to their slightly tourbillon ice cream.

That said, it does a good job not to feel like a sacrifice. The slower melting ice cream has a sweetness of maize maize who persists after the cream has disappeared and emulates the texture of the ice cream despite the resemblance more similar to a tender server hardened to theFlying saucers of Carvel. There are ice crystals in this one, which you can certainly taste, but it is the price you pay for a clearer formula and a greater volume perceived. The chocolate cookie coin is reasonably thick with a drop and a graham cracker finish that only holds chocolate matches at Mid-Arfty chew.

Another "dairy dessert", this competitor from Wells companies, the most important family ice cream creators in the country, have taken some different approaches to their sandwiches that have worked in their favor. Most ice cream sandwiches and round ice cream are leaning towards overload, while long rectangular bars are much thinner. But Blue Bunny chose a unique and squatted rectangle shape with a Goldilocks, a visual printing right in the middle of one of the laundry fittings. This unpublished cream with artificial flavors like the ice cream and does it beautifully. It may not have a large part of the vanilla perspective, on the edge more on a sugary cream territory, but it is exceptionally fluffy with a gelatinous viscosity that recalls a thick soft but richer. In other words, it feels very complete in the mouth but not full of flavor, which is interesting.

Another bold movement for iced cream manufacturers is that they take without break chocolate wafers under the spotlight rather than center their dairy. These are slightly muddled with chocolate and beautifully Fudgy flecks in the way the dark chocolate brownies are. This flavor gets closer as you chew, turn your ice sandwich essentially with chocolate in the mouth, with a long flavor that embraces you the tongue. The disadvantage is that it becomes extremely soft and glue like the dokens at the package ... but do not scratch it with your teeth half of the pleasure?

Not to be confused with their former seasonal vanilla, which uses a Cracker Graham plate, this expectation is the most popular product of Casper Ice Cream since its creation in 1925. These square baby thicknesses live up to their mark of Brand, with a soft white ice scattered at the edge of the thick and flexible platelets, simply and sweet chocolate - not cocoa-wafers.

This ice is forward, neutral and cool at the beginning and opening when the heat of your mouth unlocks its subtleties. As the bite progresses, there is a pleasant white and clean cheese grass that blooms in the creamer in the mouth, possibly the subtle substance we detected. The use of salt in sweet treats is double to attract the gentleness of the initial impact, but closing the flavor loop as a conductor calling a sharp stop to a layered orchestra. This shortening of the finish makes it possible to want another bite earlier, that Fatboy certainly makes, which quietly making it easy to become what its brand promises.

Creatmery's MAYFIELD ice cream sandwiches can not look at or cost the most sophisticated choice of litter, but by Golly tastes and feel like recreation of memory but stronger, improvement Focusing, watching an old digitally remastered cartoon for today's resolution television. This southern creamy has made ice cream from their own dairy since 1923, which has not changed since they have become part of Dean Foods's dairy conglomerate in 1990.

Note: For those of you from the northeast, where Mayfield is not typically available, you could recognize this name as a brand that bought friendships and put their news and ice in your supermarket freezers. However, while their Vanilla Super Farted-Dean responded to Fatboy and Klondike-under one or the other brand is identical (unfortunately, nor either for this test), Mayfield sandwiches and friendships retain their own proprietary recipes and are not interchangeable.

Close your eyes to ignore the almost alarming hue of ice cream in this sandwich, and you will know with a bite with which they hit the nail on the head. In the middle, it's real ice cream with vanilla-like flavors that are on the softer side of texture and character. This may not be particularly substantial and background enough, oozing the sides, but like the blue rabbit, the chocolate wafer is scaling in the tail net to balance the package. But this one makes a different way, opposite, with structural integrity, a mahe, a thickness and a global soil where its competitors cheam a path of literal resistance. It has an almost coriale sensation that satisfying the tooth and a little salt in the aftertaste that makes your language more. This plate offers most of the sandwich flavor and closes with a breath of holiday spices, such as cinnamon or allspice, for vibrations of childhood special occasions.

When Klondike took his motto of "making cool squares since 1922" for task for ice cream sandwiches, which would have thought that this brand, famous for any other format of dairy desserts, would take the crown against sandwich manufacturers Classics? And even more surprising: they did it with light ice, which is not as stripped as the dairy dessert, but still removes 65% of the grease required to qualify as a real ice cream.

Despite these cups, this flexible ice cream and faster fondue feels much more creamy, richer and more serious than it is actually, surprising several examiners when they learned that it was a catch of light. As he warms, it turns into plush, like memory, but not the texture or flavor - a marshmallow, soft but not saccharine. This puts it in the rear seat and the chocolate plate in the driver. It's undoubtedly chocolate, firm when it's cold but ventilated as it opens and glue your fingers. Thick as it is, looks first like a larger plate than ice cream, because there is overlooking that ice cream is centered, but we found that, as it started to melt and melt This has been helpful to capture the runoff and give you flexibility to choose the amount of ice you want in every bite.

The first four were a difficult call; The more traditional blue rabbit and Mayfield were on the neck and neck of their square brothers filled by Fatboy and Klondike. Mayfield beat blue blue rabbit only with just enough vanilla to avoid losing his identity, as the latter did and taste more technically like ice truck sandwiches ... but better. However,Klondike manages to take the top of the page By virtue of a balanced simplicity, clearly defined flavors and textures, an improved chocolate cream cream ratio, a satisfying talent and a velvety budget cover that make you want to dig again and again.
