I waited so long for Halo Top's new flavors to show up on the shelves at Big Y that I was predisposed to like any flavor I tried first.

The company, which boasts healthy ice cream, has become increasingly popular as people look for guilt-free dessert options (not that those really exist.)

Some of its new flavors include s'mores, oatmeal cookie, red velvet, peanut butter cup and several others.

I would have gone for the peanut butter cup flavor first, but it wasn't available, so I opted for the s'mores pint instead.

I was pleasantly surprised with Yasso's take on the decadent summer dessert last week and was fully ready to give Halo Top a glowing review as well.

The thing is Halo Top's version of s'mores is good, but just not as good as the Yasso bars, so I was slightly disappointed.

I tried this one with friends who were pleasantly surprised by the low calorie treat. The container does not specify what the base flavor is so I'm not sure if it was going for marshmallow ice cream or graham cracker ice cream. It would have to be a really mild marshmallow flavor because all I could really taste in this pint was graham cracker and chocolate.

The ice cream itself was OK, but it didn't really taste like anything. The crushed graham cracker bits added a nice flavor and some texture, but again, I was not particularly impressed.

The group consensus was that the best part of this treat were the mini chocolate chips which were so flavorful, tasty and plentiful that they almost make up for the lack of marshmallow, but not quite. You can't have s'mores without marshmallow and this pint just doesn't have it.

I give this one three scoops. It's a good alternative to high-calorie ice cream, but Yasso wins the taste test this time around. Still love ya Halo Top and can't wait to try the peanut butter cup flavor.
