A simple scoop nestled in a bowl can bring a smile at the end of a long day. As the spoon carves into that pint, the promise of deliciousness cannot be denied. While the freezer is crammed with numerous options, one brand ensures that the treat is served without worry or calculations of caloric limits or exercise minutes. With the new Halo Top Mix-ins hitting stores in 2025, the over-the-top offering proves indulgence deserves to always be part of the conversation.
Year after year, resolutions have people changing their eating habits. The idea of healthy eating can take forms of more greens, increased protein, or changing calorie consumption. Sometimes the switch can be as simple as changing the food brand that they purchase. No one has to completely give up dessert; they just have to make a different choice.
Halo Top has built its brand on that concept. Choosing a lower caloric or increased protein dessert found its audience. More importantly, it is the flavor that brings people back time and again. No one feels like they are compromising by enjoying that scoop of frozen dessert. It has become their preferred food choice.
How are Halo Top Mix-ins changing the frozen dessert landscape?
Kicking off 2025, Halo Top has created a whole new line, Mix-ins. While the classic Cookies and Cream, Caramel Macchiato, and Strawberry always call from the freezer, the newest offerings are a big step forward for the food brand.
Filled with an abundance of ingredients, the mix-ins find the right balance of luscious frozen dessert and extras. Both textures and flavors are well-balanced. It might sound cliché, but it is like having your cake and eating it too.
The Halo Top Mix-ins come in the following flavors: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Cherry Chocolate Chunk, Cookies and Brownies, Caramel Cookie Crunch, Strawberry Cheesecake, Sweet Cream Cold Brew, and P.B. Cookie Dough and Fudge. The flavors hit every popular category as well as classics. It ensures that everyone has a favorite, no matter their preference.
Ahead of the new Halo Top flavors hitting the freezer, the brand allowed me the opportunity to taste test the line. Before enjoying a single scoop, some of the flavors topped my must try list. After going through all the flavors, a few pints deserve special attention.
For example, the Caramel Cookie Crunch instantly piqued my interest. The sweetness of caramel with the contrasting chocolate cookie texture feels like a blend of a sophisticated ice cream sandwich. It is sweet without being cloying. While the brand wanted to reference Twix, it is more than just a nod to the favorite candy. It has nostalgia and newness all in one.
In contrast, the Sweet Cream Cold Brew feels innovative. While the mocha chunks are tasty, it is the whipped cream ribbons that make the flavor luscious. For anyone who loves those frozen coffee drinks, this frozen dessert is a much tastier alternative.
The most indulgent option is the Cookies and Brownies. It is the perfect choice for the person who wants it all. No need to choose one dessert over another. Halo Top found the right balance to ensure every bite has a little bit of everything.
Lastly, the most unusual, but must try, flavor is the Cherry Chocolate Chunk. The brightness of the cherries makes this flavor sing. Definitely do not eat this flavor directly from the pint. It is too easy to devour the whole container in a single setting.
The new Halo Top Mix-ins will be hitting store shelves in 2025. Check with the brand’s website as the new flavors rollout in the new year.
