New Stuff for 2025


Now I've seen a few new things pop up on instagram, but now I'm running in to new stuff online as well, so let me share what I've stumbled upon so far. First up, I found the new "Bakery Collection" over on the Talenti website. We're going to get three new layered flavors and you can be sure that I'll be testing all three: Italian Tiramisu, Snickerdoodle Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Batter.

Edy's Churro Caramel Crossroads Ice Cream


[New for Early 2023] Oh Edy's (Dreyer's), how little you effect my life these days. It's just hard to keep them in mind when I just don't see them that much now, and if I do, it's usually just a handful of standard flavors. The only thing really going on with them is the rocky road collection, and I don't see much of that around here. However, Market Basket does have them from time to time, so, let's take a scoop of...

Kit Kat Minis Frozen Dairy Dessert Bars


[New for Early 2020] First off, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Second, I never found that Talenti special batch caramel gingerbread gelato despite visiting several different grocery store chains. Third, I gotta post something, so let me chime in and say that these kit kat branded things are terrible. Granted, I have a fairly strong disdain for all Nestle / Edy's / Dreyer's products at this point in my life, but I need to point out how near flavorless these foolish things are.

Edy's Salted Caramel Pretzel Path Ice Cream


[New for early 2021] Released as part of of their Rocky Road Collection, today's review marks the first Edy's/Nestle review in almost 3 years! I don't know about you, but I just don't see Edy's that much anymore, and when I do, it's rarely a member of the six part rocky road collection.

Cereal inspired ice creams


Is everyone enjoying the (hopefully) long weekend? I'm just trying to not think about work (it's somewhat effective). I'm still only going out once a week, but I have been getting a bit more creative by sometimes hitting two stores instead of one when I am out. Unfortunately, things are pretty quiet when I can't hit 4-5 stores a week. It's just hard to find those hard to find items. And when I do find something unique, well, I'm not sure I want it...

In a freezer aisle far, far away.....


Sorry for minimal posts recently. Things are busy are work but boring in the freezer aisle, so it's pretty much just me mixing in reviews of free Serendipity samples with other misc things that I pick up at the store. Other than looking for the new King Leo Peppermint flavor from Dolcezza, there's not a whole lot going on right now. Wait, that's not true, I did stumble on one new thing!

Star Wars Millennium Falcon Ice Cream Sandwiches

I was thinking these looked familiar and then someone on instagram chimed in that they remind them of the old WWF pops (I have an image here). Will I buy these 6 vanilla sandwiches at a cost of $5.00 a box? I say probably not because this is yet another unbranded Nestle Dreyers (Edys) treat made with their signature cheap light ice cream....

Ahhhh, ok, I'll probably give in at some point so that I can save the box.

Toy Story 4 Carnival Churro Cravings


[New for Early 2019] Nestle, the folks behind Edy's & Dreyer's, are continuing the trend of non-branded ice creams. It's the same basic formulas and packaging, but rather than carry the Edy's or Dreyer's name, they just use the name of whatever pop item they are pushing. Now I have pictures of all the new flavors at the end of this post, but first let's scoop into....

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bars


[New for 2019] There's finally a whole lot of new things hitting my local shops and I have no idea where to start, but I decided to let nostalgia win on this one.

Edy's Creamy Chocolatey Cores Ice Cream


[2018-2020] Time for another Edy's core flavor.... yay? I bought all three together in March (for the sake of instagram) and I kind of regret it. I knew I wouldn't love them, but I thought at least they might tempt my daughter in to helping me eat them. Yeah, no. She's apparently hit her breaking point with Edy's texture (even the grand stuff) so I guess I'm on my own with....

Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Twirl


[New for 2018] Can I be a bit cynical for a minute? (and let's be honest, when aren't I?). It feels like Nestle has a done a decent job of gaining some social media traction by hiding their branding. As a literal person, this bugs me a little. I see people excited for Hostess flavors or candy bar flavors or super hero flavors and I think "yeah, that's just regular gummy Edy's/Dreyer's, it's nothing new!". It's good if it makes people happy I guess, but I feels a little dishonest to me. Sorry, I know I am overthinking it. Let's proceed with...

Edy's Triple-FIlled Chocolate Fudge Cores Ice Cream


[2018-2020] Are you ready for another Edy's core review? Recently super shopper @candyhunting found a fifth core flavor at dollar general. That flavor rocks a strawberry base and for some reason rocks the brown packaging instead of the yellow slow-churned packaging, but no matter, because that's not what we are covering today. Instead we have the one that tries to lure us in with the thought of cookies & cream (& lots of fudge).

Outshine Strawberry Yogurt & Granola


[New for 2018] You know the best part about today's review? it was on sale.... to be specific, the three bucks I plopped down is pretty much the most you would want to pay for this, and even then, it might be a bit much. Let's take a look at....

Edys Triple-Filled Salted Caramel Cores Ice Cream


[2018-2020] Just let me throw out a quick apologize for getting behind in reviews here. I'm trying to kind of round robin through the various companies so everyone gets time but I'm not keeping up. This is one of six reviews in the queue... so let's get started. Now, who would have thought that the #3 would be so cool this year? H-D Trio, Turkey Hill Trio'politan, and now four Triple-filled flavors from Edy's (Dreyer's). It's like the royal blizzard from DQ times three. Why didn't I say it's like Ben & Jerry's core flavors? I have no idea.

Edy's Triple Peanut Butter Ice Cream


[New for 2018] You may have noticed on instagram that Edy's is up to a bit of repackaging this year, but not so much in the traditional sense. For one, their candy powered line up has completely lost all of its Edy's / Dreyer's branding, but on top of that, they are now dishing up light ice cream in brown containers instead of the traditional slow churned beige containers. Think about that for a minute. It's kind of.... would sneaky be the right word? Rovo and I were discussing it and he's wondering if they will go light ice cream across their entire line up. You could take that thought a bit further and question if it's a two-fold approach to both saving money and saving calories on the base, giving you more budget and calorie room for swirls and mix-ins.

Edy's Slow Churned Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream


[New for Fall 2017] As I was walking the freezer aisle the other day I realized that I need to kind of step back a bit and do a little bit better job of rounding out the frozen reviews here on the blog. To be less vague, what I mean is I picked up a container of Breyers and a container of...

Edy's Cake & Cookie Fantasy Frozen Yogurt


[2017-2018] While Edy's (Dreyer's) first release this year was those three limited (and underwhelming) cookie dough flavors, they appear to have now added 4 more permanent froyo flavors. A line up that gets little love suddenly gets four new flavors. Did someone go "let's distract them while we quietly yank the frozen custard line up from existence"? Whatever the reason, we now have Caramel Praline Perfection (almonds), Peanut Butter Overload (peanuts), Salted Caramel Pretzel (potentially cross contaminated), and the only one safe to bring home:

Edy's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough


[New for 2017] Edy's (Dreyer's) has released three new cookie dough inspired flavors and the first one I had, double chocolate chip cookie dough, was terrible. This version can't be any worse right?

[New for early 2017] I promised back to back reviews with similary named products again so let's see how Edy's Slow Churned takes on a Friendlys flavor of the same name.

Edy's Slow Churned Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream


[New for 2016] Ok, time for our last review of 2016. I know I haven't covered all of the new 2016 freezer aisle products, but checking the records shows I came pretty close considering what was available to me (and what I'm actually willing to consume). We're going to end with Edy's of all things which seems a little funny because a few of you pointed out that I tend to be hard on Edy's. I can see why you might think that, but keep in mind that I consider all of the good products they put out over the last twenty years and then compare it to what they deliver today.

Edy's Washington Apple Pie Ice Cream


[New for early 2016] I haven't had the urge to try any more of the new slow churned Edy's (Dreyer's) state inspired flavors but Cumberland Farms amazing apple pie ice cream had such an amazing flavor that I think I'm finally ready to dig in to....
