Skinny Cow Ice Cream

Ice cream is my downfall. I tend to unwind at night, with a bowl of ice cream watching TV. Even in the dead of winter. Walking by the freezer containers at the store, I always skip right past the healthier alternatives to my favorite treat - the fruit ice creams, the low fat versions and the sugar free versions.

The ladies at MOM Central sent me some coupons to try Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches on them, so for once, I had reason to stop short of my favorites. Growing up, ice cream sandwiches were a treat. I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite. It was the same creamy vanilla flavor inside and the same stick to your fingers chocolate cookie outside. So I did the next thing, I gave one to my husband to try. And then my kids. And everyone agreed that they tasted like regular ice cream sandwiches.

We tried the vanilla/chocolate combo and mint flavored sandwiches. All were delicious! Other sandwich flavors include cookies and cream, strawberry and chocolate peanut butter (which sounds interesting but I couldn't find nearby). We even went back and tried their fudge bars- yum! Next on the list is the new truffle bars.

Skinny Cow ice cream now has a place in my freezer.
