Judging from the description, I felt how could this flavor be bad? A variety of distinct reasons caused this flavor to not be as great as I expected. The flavor description describes the base as peanut butter ice cream. While this may be true, it's definitely a lower grade of peanut butter flavoring. Its probably the most bland peanut butter based ice cream I've had, especially in comparison to recent offerings I've had from Haagen Dazs (Peanut Butter Pie) and Ben and Jerry's (What a Cluster). This flavor also includes a swirl of peanut butter according to the product description. Again, great possibility, but poor execution. The creamy peanut butter, while plentiful, doesn't have a quality taste, such as that from a flavor like Peanut Butter Pie from Haagen Dazs. The definitive "star" of this flavor is the chopped peanut butter cups. Similar to the swirl of peanut butter, the cups are plentiful and they actually taste of quality. They seem larger than the cups in Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup. They stand out and kick this flavor up a few notches. With all that being said, I can't recommend this flavor. The premium taste just isn't there in comparison to options from other premium brands. For the calories, I would suggest someone pick up Ben & Jerry's What A Cluster,Peanut Butter Cup or Peanut Butter Pie from Haagen Dazs for their next peanut butter fix.
