McConnell's Double Peanut Butter Chip
McConnell's Double Peanut Butter Chip Cracks in at 320 calories per serving. This pint is described as "rich, creamy, salty peanut butter folded into smooth and indulgent peanut butter ice cream. Then comes the capper. Copious amounts of bittersweet chocolate." Being a big Peanut butter and chocolate fan I have heard nothing but huge rave over the quality of this pint. McConnell's takes pride in giving customers high quality ingredients and a reason why their flavoring is so pure.
Upon first bite it was a peanut butter and chocolate lovers dream come true. McConnell's added melted Guittard bittersweet chocolate and house made peanut butter to semi-frozen peanut butter ice cream base. This results in splinters of chocolate which are entwined with the peanut butter you'll find snaking throughout the pint. The peanut butter base seems to take forever to melt down and bloom, as you'd expect with a flavor as rich as this. This pint reminded me of spin-off's from some of my favorites: Jeni's Buckeye State, Haagen Dazs Peanut Butter Pie, and Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup. I would also put Wegmans Peanut Butter Cup in the mix. Since this pint does not use peanut butter cups (Wegmans // B&J), or have globs of peanut butter (HD).
Overall I am a huge fan of Hybrid French Pot process and recommend that other ice cream companies step it up to this level of ice cream processing. Quality is always something I would suggest over quantity when it comes to premium ice cream. Ridiculous peanut butter mix-ins chunks that are reminiscent of Haagen Dazs Peanut Butter Pie and its swirls. The PB // Chocolate chips are great, and pack a ton of flavor into the pint. For being a chocolate and peanut butter lover this is a must try. This is a dense ice cream that holds a creamy consistency from first bite to last.
