I picked up a box of the Atkins Peanut Butter ice cream bars (that I've used since finishing with induction) and I noticed several changes. The biggest one is with the texture and flavor of the ice cream. It used to have a solid, creamy feel to it. I noticed it is now much more "airy" and not as dense, nor as smooth. It also tasted a little more bland. The chocolate "ribbons" in the ice cream (as displayed in the picture on the box) were also missing.

The chocolate on the outside is also different. It has a little better taste. Instead of being flat, it also has two long "dimples" on each side, which I noticed helps with the sides of the chocolate not falling off when bitten into.

Seems like they made the chocolate better, but the ice cream itself worse. Could just be a wierd batch, but with the redesign in the outer chocolate, I think they've made a more permanent change.

I tried the Atkins ice cream bar last year. It was neither good nor bad - had a bit of an odd aftertaste. I never was interested in having another one.

I finally had another one last night. It was the chocolate covered vanilla fudge swirl ice cream bar. Box of 6 for $3.59 at the supermarket. It was really delicious! I think they have reformulated them.

The outside chocolate had an excellent taste - very dark chocolatey, nothing fake tasting about it. The ice cream inside was very light, with a good flavor and no aftertaste.

I definitely want to have another one next year!

One bar = 12 carbs total
4 fiber
4 sugar alcohol
1 glycerine
3 supposed net carbs (but I counted it as 5.5)

When it comes to low carb ice cream... I either get the Atkins Chocolate Peanut Butter or one of the Turkey Hill (I think it is) low carb ice cream. Most of the others I have tried were not so good. Atkins ice cream, in my opinion... is a bit airy and you can easily end up eating the whole pint in one sitting as it starts to melt quickly. I prefer the Turkey Hill (I think it is).
