Product Review: Friendly's Forbidden Fudge Brownie Frozen Yogurt

Since 1935, Friendly's has delighted patrons as a restaurant chain famously known for its fantastic ice cream. Its slogan boasts: "Where ice cream makes the meal." The restaurants offer popular family fare like burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches and tasty salads, along with those happy ending ice cream treats that we love to speed through our meals to polish off. These days, you needn't go to a Friendly's to get the best part - the ice cream - or frozen yogurt. Friendly's Forbidden Fudge Brownie Frozen Yogurt is now available at your supermarket. I'm pleased to say it's worth the trip, and the money to buy it.

Taste Test

I really like frozen yogurt, but at times - depending on flavor - I do prefer the frosty, real deal of ice cream. With Friendly's Forbidden Fudge Brownie Frozen Yogurt, the distinction between the two frozen confections blurs so much, it's likely you'll forget you're eating frozen yogurt. The full, creamy texture and ice cream taste is achieved here, and it will please even the most discriminating palates. Swirled throughout the heavenly mixture are generous dollops of decadent fudge. The brownie pieces, while not overly large, are nicely sized, and most importantly of all taste wonderful. These brownies are sweet, chocolatey and chewy - everything a brownie lover craves. This dessert is the kind of treat which you can scoop right out of the box and eat immediately. No need for whipped cream, nor any other type of edible extra need apply here, unless you simply must slap together a sundae.

Each ½ cup serving size contains 2g of saturated fat, 5mg of cholesterol, 80mg of sodium, 24g of total carbohydrates, 16g of sugar, and 4g of protein. Since it's frozen yogurt, it's made with active yogurt cultures, and also contains milk, wheat and soy.

Summary

Friendly's Forbidden Fudge Brownie Frozen Yogurt can be found at most supermarkets for about $2.99 per 1.5 qts. It offers even the pickiest ice cream lovers, frozen yogurt fans, and brownie worshipers a yummy frozen dessert to savor and to share with family and friends. It's certainly not a calorie counting diet choice, nor is it something to be consumed all too often, but the great, fresh taste and its quality ingredients provide that happy ending to Friendly's customers right in their own home anytime.
