Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Frozen Hot Chocolate

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Frozen Hot Chocolate

This ice cream isn’t regular chocolate labeled Hot Chocolate to make more people buy it. It really tastes like hot chocolate, cocoa rather, especially when melted down to gooey lumps as I do when eating ice cream at home.

What rich and delicious hot cocoa it is. A lot of that has to do with the inclusion of caramel, which adds an extra winter-boot-kick of sweetness. There’s also a marshmallow swirl and chocolate chunks added to the mix.

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Egg Nog

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Egg Nog

There is artificial flavor added, but this Walmart Ice Cream includes all the basic ingredients of Egg Nog. The taste suggests it wouldn’t be good egg nog; think of that old adage of getting what you pay for; but it works as ice cream. My main gripe is Holiday being used as a euphemism for “Christmas”.

Market Pantry Egg Nog

Market Pantry Egg Nog

This egg nog from Market Pantry, a Target brand, is good stuff. The carton has it right. There’s nothing like a cold glass on a snowy day.

The one drawback is that it isn’t as thick as it could and should be, especially if you mix it with rum, coffee or cocoa as suggested.

Country Delite Egg Nog

Country Delite Egg Nog

It’s not as thick as I prefer, probably because it’s made with nonfat milk, but the taste of this Egg Nog, produced at Country Delite Farms in Nashville (Tennessee) and distributed by Dean Foods Company, is somewhat of a Delite. That is to say it’s good enough to drink and enjoy.
