White Mint Truffle (frozen bars)

Today was Day #8 of Chocolate Cow Theme Week, and Day #2 of Chocolate and Mint Ice Cream Theme Week. The two themes converged here with a Skinny Cow White Mint Truffle frozen bar from Nestle.

This creamy, white, low fat, mint-flavored ice cream bar was drizzled with "chocolatey ribbons" and contained both natural and artificial flavors. I was impressed with the smooth texture. I did not read the ingredients list too closely to see how this was accomplished. Weighing in at a mere 100 calories per bar, this Skinny Cow bar was a more satisfying dessert treat than I'd expected.

Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream

Today was Day #7 of Chocolate Cow Theme Week, and Day #1 of Chocolate and Mint Ice Cream Theme Week.

This organic, gluten free Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream from Straus Family Creamery (Petaluma, CA) was just fine for a late breakfast. Made with milk and cream from Holstein and Jersey cows, organic chocolate chips, and flavored with organic peppermint extract, it was refreshing to taste good ice cream, and to see ice cream that didn't look like it had been doused with green food coloring by a heavy-handed leprachaun.
