7-Select Toasted S'mores Ice Cream
7-Select (Coming from 7-11 Gas Station) Toasted S'mores Ice Cream is labeled as "Graham cracker flavored ice cream loaded with chocoaltey chunks and swirls of marshmallow and fudge" Almost all companies make a basic S'more Flavor, but how good would this one stack up to others on the market. I was very highly impressed with some of the other 7-11 offerings being a convenience store, lets see if this can stack up with my favorite S'more coming from Wegmans, or a high quality Gelato Fiasco.
Upon popping the lid of the pint you are presented with a fine looking graham cracker base. There are also visible chunks of chocolate chips and fudge/marshmallow swirls surrounded the edge of the ice cream. After my first bite the taste of the graham cracker base is very dense and creamy. The Graham Cracker base taste is similar to a cinnamon graham cracker but with a much bolder flavor and gelato-like texture. 7-Select did a fantastic job on this base and really making a high quality offering for only 240 calories per serving. Compared to the Gelato Fiasco base which is also a Graham Cracker offering, this packs a stronger graham cracker taste. Gelato Fiasco may have a slight edge on the extra cinnamon provided in their base.
Now onto what 7-Eleven does not skimp on and that is the mix-ins. First of all the Chocolatey chunks are all over the place. Nearly a half dozen just on the surface and an ample amount as I plowed through my pint. Each chocolate chunk is thin in nature, provides a slight crunch, and has a melt in your mouth hershey chocolate bar taste. The Swirls are really what makes this pint stand apart from the other S'mores on the market. The fudge and marshmallow swirls look to be only on the outside of the pint, but as you take a few bites it starts to overtake the base. These Swirls remind me of a Turkey Hill Swirl which starts to overtake the base due to the sheer size it provides. Towards the end of this pint I was basically eating fudge and marshmallow chunks which was absolutely fantastic.
Do not sleep on this pint, if you are ever near a 7-11 pick this up instantly. The Graham Cracker base provides a heavy graham cracker flavor and tons of mix-ins with an incredibly creamy base. If you like heavy and thick swirls of marshmallow and fudge with chocolate chips mixed into a perfect graham cracker base you need to look no further. If you like a stronger cinnamon base and less mix-ins Gelato Fiasco may be your cup of tea. If you are looking for a heavy marshmallow base with graham cracker swirls + Chocolate Chips then Wegmans will be your go to S'mores Ice Cream. These would be my top 3 S'mores Ice cream offerings.
