Ample Hills Snap Mallow Pop
Ample Hills Snap Mallow Pop is labeled as "A deconstructed rice krispy treat, made with a marshmallow base, and buttery rice krispy clusters". Ample hills is taking a favorite snack as a kid and putting it into ice cream form. How many companies are brands can you say that have done this? Not many. Ample Hills goes above and beyond the basic flavors you find in most brands and tries to construct killer flavors with unique ideas. Will this hold merit to the famous on the go snack as a child? Soon to find out if Ample Hills strikes gold again.
I have only had one outstanding marshmallow base that shines above the rest in Wegmans S'mores. After first bite Ample Hills does not have an over the top sweet marshmallow flavoring. Ample Hllls marshmallow base may be in conjunction with the buttery aspect of a rice Krispy treat. This can help enhance the base for some, and take away from others. If you are not a huge buttery fan where this compliments in the base (think Sunday Morning from Steve's) it could be a turnoff. When most people think marshmallow its a dense, gooey, and sweet. Ample hills while it is a bit different still finds a happy medium to give you a variation that provides incredible quality and dense flavor.
Mix-in wise this is cut and dry with clusters of rice krispy treats. If you never had a rice krispy treat I would happen to think you may have been sheltered growing up. Rice Krispy treats are basically butter, marshmallows and rice krispies. Melt butter and marshmallows then throw in rice krispys and let them cool. Thats it. Ample Hills takes this childhood classic and puts thick, soft, and chewy chunks into their marshmallow base. The pint is very consistent from top to bottom with a great inclusion of mix-ins that leaves the pint half ice cream, half mix-ins.
Ample hills takes a very simple flavor, a great concept, and puts it together to form a childhood favorite baked good. The marshmallow base feeds off the butter aspect of baking a rice krispy treat. While most people consider marshmallows sweet and dense, Ample Hills still provides a creamy and unique base of marshmallow ice cream. The massive amount of rice krispy mix-ins just further enhance this offering and live up to the Ample Hills name of thick mix-ins and high quality ice cream.
