A Taste Test : The Best Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you know me at all, then you know I am a little obsessed with food. I LOVE food! I love to eat it. I love to hear about it. I love to talk about it. I love to read about it. I love to watch it being cooked on the Food Network. I love to rip out new recipes. I LOVE food! So with that said, I want to tell you about a taste test I came across identifying the BEST ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.

I have fond memories of ice cream sandwiches. (Okay, I'll admit, that statement is a little weird.) As a child, my mom always gave me a quarter to buy an ice cream sandwich at school lunch. I remember one day I was standing in line, waiting with anticipation to buy my ice cream sandwich when suddenly my quarter slipped from my hands and rolled away, under a table, into a mass of feet. It was gone and I was so upset at the idea that I wouldn't get my ice cream sandwich that day that I started to cry. Not sob. My eyes began to water. I'm not sure who came to my rescue, probably a lunch lady. But someone saw how upset I was and gave me another quarter. I've always rememembered that moment. I don't know why. Maybe I never realized how much I loved ice cream sandwiches. :)

Anyway, I can across this taste test by Epicurious.com last month. Editors tasted 16 kinds of ice cream sandwiches. Here are their top top picks :

1) Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Sandwich ($3.99 for six)
2) Nestle Super Sandwich ($2.50 per bar)
3) Julie's Organic
4) So Delicious
5) Good Humor
6) Carvel
7) Blue Bunny (I LOVE THESE, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE CRISP COOKIE)
8) Horizon
9) Skinny Cow
10) Weight Watchers

Mmmmmm .. who's in the moood for a little treat? I am!

Enjoy!

In high school I lived in ice cream sandwiches. I figured they were a sandwich, so they had to be good for me! Plus, I wasn't lying when my mother asked me what I had for lunch...a sandwich.

Schwan's has mini ice cream sammies that are low cal, and mighty tasty!
