12 Grocery Store Chocolate Ice Creams Ranked From Worst To Best

[@MashedFood]

What's your favorite grocery store ice cream?

[@boohere2]

I loved Three Twins,but they went out of business sadly. I love Straus ice cream still. That is one of my top favorites. However, from your list I would go with Haagan Daz or Ben & Jerry's.

Wilcox Dairy, made here in Vermont. Can be hard to find, not all the big grocery stores carry it.

[@SylveonMujigaeOfficial]

My favourite is the Great Value Cookies n' Cream

[@adb8003]

Turkey hill

[@patriot4life386]

I love Tillamook ice cream as much as their cheeses. The ice cream is so creamy and rich. I buy their vanilla bean all the time, best vanilla ever.

[@OfficialShaynos]

Gotta try! I love Turkey hill ice cream tho! And for a more affordable option HOOD ice cream is my go to. I’m weird and I usually eat my ice cream melted. So it’s gotta be very creamy and rich flavored. Häagen-Dazs is also a go to when I have money to spend !! I can easily smoke a blunt then eat the whole pint 😂 I also find it a little thinner if that makes sense

[@rmoretz1]

Blue Bunny might not be tops in your books, but after 5 days in a hospital bed on limited rations, a cup of Blue Bunny Chocolate was able to reignite my taste buds--and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Usually I prefer a double chocolate or a fudge chocolate, but that Blue Bunny was the best thing I'd tasted in what seemed a lifetime.

[@poppyseeds1844]

I like the salted caramel BB--can't get enough.

[@catw6998]

@@poppyseeds1844yum, that sounds good. I’ll have to look. I’m pretty sure one of the grocery stores near me has it or did I see that from a commercial. There’s commercials foisted at us via DirecTv but when you call, they tell us that they don’t service out where we live. It’s not like we live way out in the boondocks.

You are right, it is very good but is it worth almost double the price of Turkey Hill? Haagen-Dazs and B&J are great but are also expensive compared to the others. Halo top is a joke - it's just whipped full of air so people can eat the entire pint without feeling guilty about it.

You picked up the wrong Kroger chocolate ice cream. Chocolate paradise is not the best Kroger Chocolate ice cream . You need to pick up some Kroger "Death by chocolate" ice cream Now this is supreme Chocolate ice cream from Kroger.

[@lbplease]

Tillamook for the Win!!! It's the best I've had from the grocery store!!

[@MrDan708]

At one time, Turkey Hill made a flavor called Death By Chocolate. It was the best, most SERIOUSLY chocolate ice cream I ever had, but I guess it was too intense for some - it went out of production years ago.

[@karllieck9064]

Blue Bell stopped making their milk chocolate ice cream and insisted in only selling their gross, chalky tasting Dutch chocolate ice cream. Then their prices kept going up and up, so I never bought their brand again.

Hudsonville is the best ice cream on earth, it's rich, creamy and smooth

North of the boarder we have Chapman's, which is not only great, but also treat their workers well. We also have the Kawartha Dairy, which also produces great ice cream. At least that's in Ontario. Not sure about the rest of Canada. If Mashed ever wanted to do a spinoff channel called Mashed Canada, I'd be all for it.

[@gjsthreefoursevinoneone8945]

Really, so subjective. I've had most of these and flavors vary with what crossed my palette prior. Having an alcoholic beverage, coffee, soda whatever will change the taste. My bottom line is I like Dark better than Milk.

[@dorothyjenkins6762]

Tillamook is an Ice Cream that I haven’t come across in my store , however since every product of theirs I’ve tried has become a favorite in flavor & quality I believe it when I heard that Their chocolate ice cream was voted “the best” tasting in a National taste test in store brands… I have no reason to doubt it, had I known they produced chocolate ice cream. I am going to track it down and enjoy a taste of “The Winner’” 😄

[@victoriahope8371]

I agree with the beverages. Weirdly, I like a tall glass of lactose free milk or chocolate milk to go with my lactose free chocolate or vanilla ice cream. It tastes so good. Like a deconstructed milk shake but lactose free since I have dairy digestion issues.....

[@poppyseeds1844]

The darker the better.

[@pdz-pk4od]

The best coffee icecream we discovered is in Safeway's freezer under the store brand "Signature Select". "Java Chips" only comes in 1.5 qt carton and is the most intense and authentic coffee tasting we ever tried. The chips are just a bonus. A friend even puts some of the icecream in her hot coffee. Whatever floats her boat, right?

Others ice cream brands have redefined the measurement system giving you 15 oz or less. Really,...check out the next Pint of ice cream you buy.

No other Heavenly Hash that I’ve tried compares. Sadly, it’s no longer available. But one can’t go wrong sticking with Blue Bell. 😊

Tillamook-- No No No! Is not more creamy, what you are tasting is gum gum gum gum, as it has no less than 4 gums. When left out of the freezer it becomes elastic and jello like! It shakes more than melts! This is NOT quality ice cream. Touch it in the grocery store freezer, it never gets rock hard because of the gums!!!

[@Nel33147]

Absolutely correct. I was so stoked to try it , since everyone raves about it. Didn’t read the ingredients as I assumed it would be premium . Much to my surprise it was gummy , gummy , gummy , and more GUMMY ! 4 different gums , just as you said.

Baskin-Robins sells sub-pint-size containers of some flavors in the Publix where I shop, and there's a B-R at the other end of that shopping center. I go to the real B-R for "World Class Chocolate".

[@LoyaFrostwind]

If you’re trying to lose weight, do NOT eat ice cream directly from the container! Scoop out a measured serving size (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup) so you don’t mindlessly eat the whole pint at once. Just because Halo Top has only 300 calories in one pint doesn’t mean the serving size is one pint.

I'm usually not big on chocolate ice cream, going for chocolate chip cookie dough or strawberry or the rare vanilla, but that just SLAPS!!
