It isn’t gross, but I’d rather save my calories for something more special-feeling. No special chunks or swirls.” Just a solid flavor of ice cream. I literally do not remember eating this one. (See my cookie dough review.) I only ate about 1/3 of it before I had made up my mind, and then I handed it over to my husband who thought it was “just fine.” I didn’t like the little chunks of dough, either. I thought I’d like this one because I loved Pancake and Waffles so much, but it was just really too sweet. Obviously, s’more ice cream should be chocolate with marshmallow and chocolate chunks with graham cracker crumbs. I just can’t get behind the s’mores flavor because the ice cream is VANILLA with little chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs. I suppose if you do, then you will like this flavor. I don’t like regular strawberry ice cream. I finished this one, but it was not my favorite. The almonds are actually a nice touch and bring a bit of texture. But I wasn’t excited about this one.Ĭhocolate and almond paired together is a flavor combination from Heaven, but this one just falls flat. Maybe I was expecting cake chunks? Maybe I am too used to Blue Bell? Who knows. It tasted like normal cake-flavored ice cream. My kids loved it, but I thought it was a bit sweet and nothing special. Halo Top is a little more icy than real ice cream, and without anything special added, vanilla feels ordinary.Ĭake flavored ice cream with sprinkles inside … this one was fine. It is just vanilla, but it lacks the creaminess of regular vanilla full fat vanilla ice cream, so it falls way down for me. I’d say it is tied with everything else in this category. It feels a little mean to put vanilla so low on the list. It just sort of tastes like sweet … nothing. It had none of the tanginess that I love in lemon pies and curds. But this lemon was way too sweet, cloying, and artificial. I bought it with the Mochi Green Tea flavor, and I sort of felt the same way about two different green-ish ice creams. The “cookies” are just the ground up black part of an Oreo. I even bought it twice to make sure I didn’t get a bad batch the first time. This is the first flavor I tried of Halo Top. This is the only flavor that we didn’t finish before throwing away. I thought it would be sherbet (which I love), but it tasted like bad morning breath. There is a special spot in ice cream purgatory for this sin of Rainbow Swirl. Without further ado, 24 Halo Top flavors ranked from GROSS to FORGETTABLE to BEST: I am ranking them here for you to reference next time you are standing in the ice cream aisle of the grocery store craving something sweet but not wanting to waste around $4.00 on a tiny portion of gross ice cream. There is a whole assortment of non-dairy flavors that I am just starting to explore! In this post, I am rating only the dairy flavors (24 flavors). So, for the sake of science (I did it all for SCIENCE!), I tried ALL of the flavors of Halo Top. It is not as decadent as real ice cream (oh chocolate peanut butter cup, I love you so much!), but it does hit the spot without ruining all of the hard work I’ve put in at the gym and being a disciplined eater. But how does Halo Top taste?Īctually, not bad at all. I could eat an entire pint for 360 calories or less? I could eat half a pint for only 150 calories? It seemed like a dream come true. So when I came across Halo Top about a year ago, I was a more than a little pumped. And eating a side of ice cream every single day is sort of a bad idea for my health and my waistline. Unfortunately, wishes like this don’t come true. I wish my metabolism wasn’t slowing down as I age. I wish ice cream was as healthy and slimming as celery. I wish I could eat Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food or Blue Bell Moo-llenium Crunch every day for every single meal. My freezer in the middle of my scientific experiment.
