Handel's Reese Peanut Butter Cup
Handels being a chain around the PA and OH areas makes a unique 30 or so flavors daily and this one really caught my eye as "Reese peanut butter cup" being you cannot see the ice cream or mix ins until the workers out them in pints I was thinking a vanilla base loaded with pb cups and that is what I got
Upon popping the lid you see a very fine vanilla base and small hints of peanut butter cups filling the surface and as you soon dig into your first bite you are really getting a solid vanilla base that has a creamy and cake batter base that is very rich and full of flavor. This basic vanilla does shine in some of their others like spouse like a house, chocolate chip cookie dough, vanilla cake batter, and vanilla with Oreo which IMO trumps coldstone for a cake batter like vanilla base.
As you dig deeper it reminds me of Ben & Jerry's PB Cup because you are nearly hitting gold mines of peanut butter cups with every bite and not small rock hard mix ins I am talking good half chunk peanut butter cups that's are on the softer side and can taste the peanut butter like its right out of a jar. Think of a peanut butter filling you would find in a buckeye that is on the creamier and sweeter side packed into the vanilla base and that is what you get.
Handels does not need to get fancy to make good ice cream. Being their homemade ice cream packs serious flavor and density this was a no brainier and a very good pint to pick up. If you are a PB lover and enjoyed PB Cup or a PB pie from HD you need to try this!
