Handel's Spouse Like a House
Handel's Spouse Like a House is "vanilla ice cream with Peanut Butter filled pretzels." While appears simple on paper I have had a few samples and one scoops of this in the past. This flavor alone packs a punch, and is loaded with mix-ins. When you think of Peanut butter filled pretzels the words "Chubby Hubby" may come to mind. this is Ben & Jerry's flavor that features "Vanilla Malt Ice Cream with Peanutty Fudge-covered Pretzels". After a few one scoops of handel's spouse like a house I prefer it over B&J's version even with the PB Swirl added. Both pints will pack a very high caloric amount (none listed for Handel's) but I would assume it easily tops 300+kcals a serving.
Handel's Vanilla base is a similar vanilla to Graeter's. You get that luscious vanilla buttercream flavoring, but not the extra kick of sweetness graeters does provide in their ice cream base. While this is a great vanilla ice cream on its own, the addition of the PB Filled Pretzels takes this pint to another level. I would highly suggest trying the vanilla from Handel's as they offer Vanilla + Oreo's, Vanilla PB Chip, Vanilla w/ Reese Peanut Butter Cups, Vanilla Caramel Truffle, & Vanilla Turtle. This way you can experience the vanilla base to see how it stacks up to other companies out there. Flavor, Quality, and texture wise it is a high quality offering.
The peanut butter filled pretzels offered in Spouse like a house are delicious. As i popped the lid i noted a few chocolate chunks floating on the surface, this was the outsides of the PB Filled Pretzel's. As you bite into them, you get the salty crunch, and the rich peanut butter cream filling. It is not a sweet peanut butter (like a buckeye), but similar to the HD PB Pie Pint like Peanut butter out of a jar. The Savory and Salty combination of the peanut butter + pretzels make a great match on top of the rich chocolate coating.
Overall this flavor is a win from start to finish. If you enjoy Peanut Butter filled pretzels in general this pint is a must. If you ever had Chubby Hubby before and want something similar in design this would be my suggestion from Handel's. it is not often you see PB filled pretzels as a mix-in, let alone coated in chocolate. That alone raises the bar and makes for a great mix-in and high quality base. Take the mix-ins offered and combine this with a great vanilla base and you have a flavor you must scoop from Handel's.
