OMG!!!!


After one bite, the first thing that came to my mind is "it sure lives up to its name...velvet"

The flavour is so rich, chocolaty, and will satisfy all of your cravings for chocolate...trust me!

For the flavour and quality of the ice cream, this one is definitely worth spending the extra money to get. If I wasn't planning a party to share my ice cream, I'd be eating more right now...

I loooooved the packaging that the sharing kit arrived at my home it. They sent 3 bowls and beautiful spoons, I was very, very, very impressed.

Me and the gang just finished testing the 3 flavors I chose: this one, Maple Walnut, and Chocolate Cheesecake. Believe it or not I'm still waiting on my chicken breast (we're having a barbeque and testing the flavors, haha).

Anyway though, the things I loved:
1) I LOVED the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. Especially for a person like me who can't take a whole lot of sweets in one sitting and someone like my aunt who has Type 2 Diabetes, she had one or two small scoops and she was good. I don't know if they did that purposely or if it was just something that happened, but I like it.

2) I LOVED the fact that it wasn't... okay well, you know how you can tell from your lips when an ice cream is fatty and heavy? I never got that with this ice cream, it was perfectly light and airy. It just sort of added to the decadence of the flavour, I appreciated that a lot.

3) I LOVED the flavor itself, like it was intense. For all of those hard core chocoholics out there, it'll haunt your dreams and it will be the source of your midnight cravings. Ladies this is serious break-up ice cream going on here, haha. I'm a newly converted chocolate lover, I don't know where it came from but I've had like these huge cravings for some chocolate.

Things that a few of us didn't like was that the chocolate flavor was so intense that like for my friend Emma, she likes chocolate but she's not hardcore or anything and she said "It's almost bitter, it's so chocolatey". I can understand where she'd get that completely, like it could almost be a turn off.

I gave it the half rating, taking everyone that tried it into consideration.

OK, I'm being a bit of a 'keener' in reviewing this product, because I just tried it for the first time last night, but given my experience with this ice cream after dinner last night, I just HAD to get on here first thing this morning to tell you all about it! I received my Breyers coupons in the mail last night and I had to get to the grocery store to pick up a few tings for dinner anyway, so I decided to grab a tub of Breyers Dark Chocolate Velvet ice cream while I was there. I do love chocolate ice cream (and ice cream in general), so I was looking forward to trying it after dinner, but I was actually 'excited' about it until I took my first bite... and I was suddenly in heaven! This ice cream is the most rich, chocolaty chocolate ice cream I have ever had in my life! I love dark chocolate, and this combined the smooth creamy delicious taste of dark chocolate with my other favourite dessert (ice cream). I can see myself going through this tub of ice cream in less than a week (by MYSELF, because I don't want to share it!), and I'll definitely be going out to get another one shortly thereafter. Of course, this experience makes me want to try ALL the Breyers Double Churned ice creams, but I'll have to keep a tub of the dark chocolate velvet on-hand too... at all times! My recommendation? TRY IT TODAY!
