Kawartha. Mint Chip Ice Cream Review.

 

I had always thought of this brand as fancy and expensive, so I never got to try it but I came across these tiny pints and I thought I'd grab one for review. The other flavours available were limited but did not interest me other than the mint chip which is fine, I usually like mint chip.

Sadly this was a big disappointment, probably the worst mint chip ice cream I've had, it tasted like dirty mint leaves, toothpaste and the chocolate was very cheap tasting, I didn't taste anything though partway through the pint, not a single flavour, so I couldn't hate it at that point but the beginning was rough. I would not buy it or eat it again and I rate it 2/5.

Purdys Chocolatier. Saskatoon Berry, Strawberry Creme and More Review.

 

This was my first time trying Purdys and the service was amazing, the woman was very friendly, knowledgeable and even gave us a sample of their milk chocolate eggs, which I will admit I did not like, I did not enjoy the Purdy's milk chocolate and I found it was a lot like dollar store or grocery store chocolate eggs. 

This time I got a 6 piece bag of chocolates but I would go again to try their ice cream. This time I got the pieces as followed:

Snowball: Snowball: I like the chocolate and the coconut they are lovely together, though the chocolate is a little darker than I like, a little more bitter than I like. The center I didn't love, I'm not sure what the flavour is but I was not a fan, I will say though that the texture of the chocolate inside and out with the coconut was nice 3/5.

Saskatoon berry: cherry meets raspberry like flavour, it's pretty nice and goes well with the dark chocolate, though I still find it a bit too bitter. I don't love it but it is nice and I went into it with no expectations or idea of what it would be like and I was pleasantly surprised 3.5/5.

Mango: I thought I would love this one but it was rough. The mango flavour is like eating a candle meets eating the peel of an under-ripe mango. The chocolate though went with it sometimes for a mangoes and cream feel, so sometimes when I chewed it was pleasant but most of the bites were rough and I was greatly disappointed 2/5.

Strawberry creme: it was almost there, the strawberry was lovely and the dark chocolate went well with it but for some reason it also tasted like a white marker meets floral nail polish remover and I'm even more disappointed than I was with the mango, as I had such high hopes for this one, thinking it would be my favourite. I was looking for something to replace the Pot Of Gold flavour they discontinued but this did not do it for me at all 2.5/5.

Yummi Gummi. Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears Review.

 

I always think chocolate covered gummy bears taste like alcohol meets coffee, which I am not a fan of but these are not bad, the chew on them is alright but I also put mine in the fridge so the texture is different to if you ate them at room temp. Overall I've had better ones from other brands, I don't think I would buy them or eat them again and I rate them 3/5.

Zuru. Gumi Yum Surprise. Candy with Toy Review.

 

I saw these at Easter time, funnily enough right after I watched someone review these online. They did I believe have a Easter specific one but these are the desert animals and they did have a transformers one as well.

It's a bit messy and of course sticky with sugar everywhere but I enjoyed the candy, mostly the top two and the last flavours, each candy has a nice fruity jello-like flavour and are a little sour or tart but the other flavours were not really for me but still tasted good. The prize was cute and easy to put together, I believe there are instructions with it but I did not need them. I don't think I'd buy this again but it was overall a fun and tasty experience, I rate it a 4/5.

Dairy Queen. Strawberry Angel Food Cake Blizzard Review.

 

I've done quite a few reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the strawberry angel food cake blizzard.

I loved the strawberry ice cream, it tastes like a nice strawberry yogurt and the whipped cream was pretty good but I was not a big fan of the angel food cake, the texture was strange like a bit firm yet spongey, which I'm sure is just what happens when you put the cake into ice cream and the cake itself was boring in flavour. I would not likely buy it again but I'd eat it again if offered and I rate it 4/5.

Tim Hortons. Frozen Raspberry Mojito Quencher Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the frozen raspberry mojito quencher.

This is delicious, it's the only time I've ever liked the flavour of raspberry (other than the fruit I do enjoy eating), it's so bright and summery, not too sweet and it's perfect and the cream is a nice addition, it tastes like a raspberry version of a cherry Slush Puppie, I will say I don't know if I taste the lime but that is likely what makes it so bright in flavour, not just the raspberry alone. I would absolutely buy and drink it again and I rate it 4.5/5. 

Tim Hortons. Peach Protein Quencher Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm doing the peach protein quencher.

I felt it tastes like a peach version of a creamsicle or like a Campino candy, just not as good, as the peach was so artificial and perfumy, the drink is good but also not good. I also wish it had a better milk choice, as this milk has no flavour, it's just regular milk and I would've preferred an oat milk, vanilla flavoured milk or even maybe coconut milk. I don't know if I'd buy it or drink it again but I rate it 3.5/5.
