Three Twins - Mint Confetti

Mint Confetti - Mint Ice Cream with Chocolate Flecks

Long-time readers know that my favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.  It has been a while since I've a pint of this so when I saw an implementation of this flavor that I had not previously reviewed, I gladly purchased it for later consumption.  The brand is Three Twins, the San Rafael brand who I've reviewed several time before.  The call their flavor Mint Confetti.  Here, "confetti" is just a colorful name for chocolate chip and it is a label that they've used before in at least one other flavor.  

Removing the lid shows a very light coating of frost on the top.  Certainly not a deal-breaker but you can see it in the picture.  The mint is light-colored with no artificial green coloring.  In fact, its almost yellowish which reminded me of McConnell's Mint Chip, but the current flavor is not quite that yellow.  Digging into the pint, the base is soft and mint-flavored as expected.  The confetti were more flake-shaped and were generously dispersed throughout the pint.  A flake-shaped chip works well because it provides chocolate flavor but with a bit of variability to how much is in each spoonful.  That's makes for more fun than a completely homogeneous mixture.

So, yet another succesful pint of mint chip.  The mint was good, the chip was good, who can complain?  Compared to other mint chips, its probably not quite in the all-time inner circle of McConnell's and Graeter's but that's a high bar to judge.  The Three Twins Mint Confetti is quite good on it's own right.
