Advantages: Lots of nuts

Disadvantages: Poor taste

I was not totally convinced by this flavour when I saw it however a review on this site convinced me to give it a try, how I wished I had read the second review on the site before I did because it was the latter one that more closely matched my own opinions of this ice cream offerring from Ben and Jerry's. Usually their ice cream is top draw when it comes to quality and I do not mind paying the extra as the flavours are quite orignal and always taste lovely.

I found the chocolate ice cream in this particular offerring to be rather harsh and not really that chocolately rather a more chemical taste to it, this seems strange because you would think it is the same chocolate ice cream that they use as a base in some of their other varieties. It could have been the influence of the macademia nuts which are coated in chocolate as well. There are plenty of these in the ice cream and they are nice and crunchy, macademia nuts are not something I would normally consider buying however in ice cream they do work well.

The packaging is the usual bright innovative design and the ice cream is nice and smooth in texture it is just the taste combnation does not work for me and to be honest most of the contents ended up in the bin as my boyfriend did not like it either and I would not give something containing nuts to anyone else just in case they have a reaction.

One of the few Ben and Jerry's ice creams I would not recommend.

Summary: Not one to be recommended
