Perry's Ice Cream One Buffalo
Perry's Ice Cream One Buffalo is labeled as " Vanilla ice cream with sea salt caramel swirls, sponge candy piece, and fudge-coated pretzels. It’s our scoop!". Reading that label it seems like a dream come true. Sea Salt Caramel Swirls remind me of Sea Salt caramel from Talenti. Sponge Candy is a trademark in Erie, Pennsylvania made at Romolo's chocolates that melts in your mouth. Lastly fudge coated pretzels are absolutely delicious. Pretzels, Caramel Swirls, and Sponge Candy will make for an outstanding combination of mix-ins. Lets see how Perry's put everything together in this offering.
Perry's vanilla ice cream base is a middle of the road offering. This vanilla will not blow you away, nor is it to the point of being mediocre and taking away from the overall experience. If you prefer higher butterfat ice creams, you might find yourself downgrading this based off the soft and creamy vanilla base. Thankfully, the ice cream below the surface does not melt quickly. The softness works well with the swirls, sponge candy, and fudge coated pretzels in the offering. It is not like a Graeter's vanilla that has that extra luscious kick to the overall flavoring. I would compare Perry's to a modern Ben & Jerry vanilla base.
Onto the mix-ins. First of all after popping the lid you can see small chunks of both sponge candy and fudge covered pretzels. There is also a small shadow of a sea salt caramel swirl present. The sponge candy is exactly as you would expect if you have ever consumed that dessert before. The sponge candy offers a great outside chocolate crunch, that instantly melts in your mouth. The fudge covered pretzels offer a rich and bold chocolate taste, and provide an extra crunch in addition to the sponge candy. The sea salt caramel swirl was brilliant. You get that rich and dense caramel swirl with an extra kick of salt to enhance the flavor of the overall experience.
Perry's may be an overlooked brand because it is not offered in most general grocery stores. While the base alone was not a saving grace, the mix-ins really did this pint in to enhance the overall experience. If you are a fan of covered pretzels, sponge candy, and a thick delicious swirl this will really be something to consider. The sweet and salty combination of the mix-ins and swirl take this pint over the top. The swirl is no where near as salty as Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel swirl offers, so the salt is not overpowering to the point of turning people away. The Perry's combination offers a lot of crunch, a ton of flavor, and a chocolate and caramel lovers delight. I have been burned in the past with Perry's and their mix-ins, this one finally lived up to their name and consistency from start to finish.
