Salt & Straw Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake
Salt & Straw Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake is labeled as "enamored with the malted, salted chocolate ice cream loaded up with bite-sized pieces of cupcakes frosted with chocolate ganache and soaked in coffee syrup to keep them extra gooey. Then we take things to a whole new level with handfuls of chocolate-coated potato chips and a generous ribbon of housemade caramel"
Right away this chocolate base is unique. While S&S has a fantastic chocolate base they took it to another level with hints of a salty aftertaste. It is almost like a salted caramel and chocolate infusion pieced together to form the ice cream surface. While this base was different, it was so tasty that it was surreal. Salt & Straw executed this one perfectly to make it not only one of their best, but one that other companies should look into doing.
Besides the phenomenal base everything included in this pint was just as good as every single review has stated. Debuted in 2015 this soon rose to the top as for a fan favorite flavor. If you ever had Salted Caramel Cupcake this included pieces of frosted cupcakes. The cupcakes pieces are extremely moist, fresh, and entail tons of flavor. For some reason these don't pack the quality I expected. It seemed these were not up to S and S standard of being made in house. The Chocolate covered potato chips provide the essential sweet and salty compliment that go perfectly with the base and the cupcakes. Crunchy on the outside, packing a ton of milk chocolate flavor, but the downfall was not enough saltiness. Almond brittle salted fudge packed much more then these potato chips. The positive is the potato chips did not soggy at all!. Last but not least S&S Is known for impeccable swirls, and this caramel swirl hit the spot. Laced with tons of sweet, gooey, and luscious caramel flavor it hits your taste buds right away and does not stop until the very last bite.
I thought Sweet Potato Casserole and Cinnatopia in 2016 were off the chart. PB&J and Oatmeal Cream Pie are also very high contenders for top 5 ever from S&S. Cupcakes, Potato chips, caramel swirl, and one of the most unique chocolate bases I have ever had. Sign me up Salt & Straw. I am very happy when the fans voted this one back I got a chance to finally experience this greatness. Do not just order one, get at least 2 if it returns!
