Milk Bar - Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Crush

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Crush - Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbs and Fudge Chocolate Cookie Batter

Today I return to the New York-based Milk Bar brand for their Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Crush flavor.  I bought this flavor at Whole Foods on Selby, but I have also seen it sold at local Target stores as well.  Milk is a fun new brand. I was alerted to its existence in the comment section of an earlier review.  Thanks again to that reader!  Today's flavor features a peanut butter and chocolate base with one swirl of peanut butter cookie crumbs and another swirl of fudge chocolate cookie batter.  Chocolate & peanut butter is a common and popular flavor combination and this looks like a fun and unique way of combining the two.  Let's check it out.

Removing the lid and peeling back the seal, I see the light brown color of the peanut butter and chocolate base and I see hints of the two swirls (a lighter orange one of peanut butter and some darker brown for the fudge).  Digging in, the peanut butter and chocolate base is mainly peanut butter flavored.  I checked the ingredient list and there is chocolate in there but it is not very obvious (especially with a swirl also providing chocolate).  That's just an observations.  Some blended are predominantly chocolate, this one is predominately peanut butter.  The swirls are both very well done.  The peanut butter cookie crumb base provides additional peanut butter as well as a gritty texture while the fudge cookie batter provides a lot of chocolate flavor in more of a goopy texture.  The fudge cookie batter swirl is excellent.  It reminded me of brownie batter which is an ingredient which should be used more often.  The strong chocolate flavor of this swirl explains why less chocolate is needed in the base.

This is an excellent chocolate and peanut butter flavor from Milk Bar.  I run into chocolate-peanut-butter flavors all the time, but this is one of the more creative ones that I have tried in recent memory.  It is a relatively smooth pint -- no chunks -- but the flavors are excellent and well balanced.  If you are into chocolate-and-peanut-butter flavors, then check this out and see if you like it.
