While growing up in North Carolina, family excursions to Baskin Robbins happened every so often, but now, all the stores have disappeared in my area. For that reason, our blog hasn’t been able to cover one of the most recognizable brands of ice cream in America. Lucky for us, Baskin Robbins now offers a wide selection of prepackaged products that they were willing to let us try. Many of their popular flavors were captured in these 14 ounce containers; including the one seen above, Pralines ’N Cream, one of our favorite combinations. This vanilla flavored ice cream with praline-coated pecan pieces & caramel ribbon had no problem peaking our interest once we pulled off the top.
We’re no strangers to caramel sauce, but Baskin Robbins had one of the best we’ve seen. The thick, assertive swirl classically complements the super-premium, high-butterfat vanilla base and gets even better once the praline-coated pecan pieces add even more taste and texture. It’s hard to impress us with basic flavors after all the ice cream we’ve seen, but Baskin Robbins certainly got our attention with this entry.
