Mountain House Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food

First off I want to address a lot of the negative reviews. People are complaining this product is hard, yes it is, it is a freeze dried ice cream sandwich. The process of freeze drying removes the water. This is not a chewy cookie, this product was made to be able to put in a backpack while you go hiking and survive the rigors of expedition.Onto the product, the flavor is great it is definitely a chocolate mint ice cream sandwich. The ice cream is creamy as you chew it and the exterior cookie is chocolatey like an Oreo. This is a very nice dessert after a day of hiking or Mountain biking etc. we take these camping with us all the time especially during the time of year when there are burn bans and we can’t make s’more’s over a campfire, the kids absolutely love them. And quite frankly adults love them too!. With the extended shelflife I tend to buy these a case at a time and know that they will be good whenever I need them.Mountainhouse has a very long and well earned reputation of quality freeze dried food. This ice cream sandwich definitely lives up to that reputation. I would suggest it to anyone looking to add a nice treat to their backpacking food, or their emergency preps.

If you get these for treats during normal times, you will probably be disappointed. They're dry and the taste is thin. If you're a prepper, when you find these at the back of a shelf you'll be thrilled and grateful.

I LOVE mint choc chip ice cream and I LOVE ice cream sandwiches. This is like neither of them. :( A crusty, dusty, chalky brick you bite into that scatters green and brown dust and pieces everywhere. Even when I let a piece sit in my mouth for 2 mins to rehydrate, it still has barely any flavor, and not great. HORRIBLE while out hiking. I don't know what I was thinking, but this is a bad buy. Just go get a real ice cream sandwich.

2/23.. UPDATE- FOOD POISONING:Odd several AM food poisoning issues lately. Usually great item; but recent order, 4 of 10 bar’s packages were compromised, air holes in seams, then resealed. Not notice compromised packages at first, but after eating had odd sweet & sour taste, but normally bars do not have. All 4 got nauseous after eating. Previous Review: Very subtle taste, but delicious

Received it 2 days ago. Expires in 1 year 2 months. I ordered 4 of them and get old stock so much for a 3 year shelf life

I gave 4 stars.. freeze dried ice cream sandwiches..is convenient for campers and hiking..Yes it had a different texture to it.. was it chalky yes... Crunchy? Yes... I really didn't mind that...It was different... And something new to try...Now if you're a camper or a hiker...Yes this is value for your money...To the one's that are complaining about the product.. there is a saying... You get what you pay for...Would I buy this again? Yes... For the novelty side of it...Also if the power goes out this won't melt

Love the ice cream sandwiches, they're always a great treat for the kids (and the adults)! The package I received (and in the current photo here) has a couple of goofs on the back. The 1 serving package isn't 32oz, it's 32g. And, I'm really trying to figure out how 0g of fiber is 14% RDA.

It is freeze dried ice cream.The flavor is a little off when compared to normal mint chocolate chip ice cream.But for what it is, it is pretty decent.It does NOT have a 25 year shelf life like other Mountain house products.It has a 5 year shelf life.Which is pretty impressive considering it's an ice cream sandwich you can toss in a back pack or on a shelf without worry of it melting.
