I'm a frequent shopper of Trader Joe's ... and there are
many products I see from time to time but have passed up for one reason or
another. Evidently I had a very soft spot in my heart this past weekend because
I finally picked up a box of the Trader
Joe's S'Mores Frozen Sandwiches.
What sold me on these ice cream sandwiches was not only the
picture on the box, but the description: "Graham crackers with marshmallow-chocolate swirl gelato & milk
chocolate flakes." Heaven! S'mores are one the most genius desserts
known to man (and so simple!) … plus ice cream always finds a way into my heart
from time to time. Ideally a combination
of the two, I felt would be a match to write books about.
I took a sandwich out of the freezer for dessert one day and
passed a sandwich around to everyone who wanted one. Unfortunately ... these
just didn't do anything for me. The marshmallow flavor wasn't really
there for me. The chocolate was, in every bite, and the graham cracker was
slightly there ... but this just didn't scream "s'mores" to me. It was evident it was gelato as it wasn’t isn’t
as hard as traditional ice cream … but it was just a bit of a miss and not
worth the calories/points associated with them.
The general consensus around these throughout the house was that they're
alright ... but nothing to brag about. Personally, I find Skinny Cow's are tastier
than these. I wasn't a fan ... and I certainly won't be repurchasing
these.
Each ice cream sandwich is 250 calories or 7 points plus
values.
