Nightingale…

Never seen the full size versions but stumbled across them today and had to get some.

I’ve had the classic and strawberry before so I’ll just talk about the limited edition peach flavor.

• The packaging said it was an oatmeal cookie but I guess I didn’t expect the oats to be so coarse. Was expecting a milled oatmeal that gives just a little extra bite/chew but it’s pretty toothsome which I don’t think is a bad thing. But, in combination with the soft texture of the ice cream it’s an odd dynamic for me.

-The ice cream itself is of a VERY strange consistency. Imagine cold marshmallow fluff or room temperature whipped cream cheese? The ice cream definitely has a high amount of stabilizers because it’s REALLY chewy and stretchy. Doesn’t have that satisfying or refreshing ice cream effect. If anything, I feel like i desperately need some cold water to deglaze my mouth from the “fatty” aftertaste that coats your mouth. Maybe a high butterfat content? Idk the specifics but so disappointing.

• The ice cream is supposed to be peach flavored but I didn’t get any flavor at all? Didn’t even taste like vanilla. Just mildly sweet against the robust cookie but no fruity notes.

Didn’t realize they go for $4.69 a pop but I guess that’s fair since the box of 4 minis is about the same price. Or it was at this store. I have seen them for $7.99/box. But yea, this was just ok. I couldn’t eat more than a quarter of the bar. It just started to feel like a chore. There’s so much of it and so many components are just fighting you throughout. The cookie might be good on its own but doesn’t play well with the ice cream.

And now that I’m done typing this, I see that the “ice cream” has gotten a little more gooey but still holding together. Very sticky and thick to the touch. Not at all like how ice cream acts when melted. Oh well
