I love Breyers. I was introduced to them in my youth when my mom sought out all-natural, no-preservatives food for me. Many of the ice-creams and various frozen products contained varying degrees of "artificial." (Check it out - most "vanilla" products have "vanillan" instead - what a villain!) Breyers did not.
Breyer's has been a staple in my freezer from childhood up through when I started my own family. In fact, I think I only had Breyer's in my freezer and maybe some Diet Coke in my fridge when I was a grad student. (I only needed to attend nightime "special lectures" to chow down on free pizza - though the fabulous convenience and plethora of options for New York City delivery meant I had some pretty exotic take-out boxes spending time in that studio apartment as well.) These days, we purchase three or four cartons of Breyer's all at once. We use it in shakes, smoothies, and of course for sundaes or a plain ol' bowl of ice-cream.
Imagine my glee when I learned about Breyer's Smooth and Dreamy ice-cream bars and sandwiches! Oh, the excitement!
I was fortunate to receive a coupon for a free package of any variety of Breyer's Smooth and Dreamy. We found four different flavors of ice-cream bars and sandwiches at our local grocery, and while we wanted to try them all, I stopped my boys at two. So, we received one package free-for-review and the other package I purchased with my own money out of anticipatory love for the product.
We tried the "triple chocolate chip bars" and "vanilla fudge brownie sandwiches."
Not surprisingly, both were divine. My six-year old (eating the vanilla-brownie sandwich) declared that it was his "favorite" and announced that he thought it was "very creamy." I loved the chocolate coating the best, plus adored the little chocolate chips inside the "triple chocolate" bar.
I loved that none of the bar's coating melted onto my fingers. Likewise, the "sandwich" part didn't sag and end up stuck on my son's digits. Instead, we ate everything with no mess and no hassle. Usually such things are because of various chemicals that hold everything together. But in Breyer's case, the ingredients are all on the up-and-up. As a bonus, these treats are about half the calories and fat of some of the other ice-cream bars and ice-cream sandwiches on the market.
We'll definitely be repeat customers.
Fortunately, YOU have a chance to try out Breyer's Smooth and Dreamy, gratis! I have 5 (five) coupons for a free 6-sandwich or 6-bar pack - your choice of flavor.

I just love ice cream. I love it in a bowl, on a stick or in a waffle cone. I really love ice cream at night when my kids are asleep so i can close my eyes and savor each bite.

I really like the idea of icecream on a stick but the sandwiches are good too. Just something about food on a stick that screams fun!

You cannot have ice cream without toppings- nuts, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whatever!
