After trying the Klondike Slim-a-Bear ice cream sandwiches and Skinny Cow, I think I may have finally found the "light" ice cream bar that will save my diet from ice cream diet crashes. The 80-calorie chocolate-covered ice cream bars from Healthy Choice are surprisingly better than both. The ice cream has the least "not like ice cream" texture of the three. It is softer and creamier. And while it isn't a direct comparison since the first two were sandwiches and this is a bar, the chocolate covering of this bar was notable in that it tasted even better to me than regular, non-diet bars because it was soft and actually melted like chocolate. Regular ice cream bars' chocolate covering is usually way too waxy.
Of course, it helps that two Healthy Choice ice cream bars at 80 calories each is only a few calories more than one sandwich. I feel like I get to eat more!
I think readers have also mentioned Blue Bunny, which I haven't been able to find yet in regular grocery stores. Any suggestions of where I could find Blue Bunny in Southern California? Heck, I'd even travel from LA to SD for ice cream!
