If you're looking for a cup ice cream product that feels more tailored towards adults than kiddos, this new Essel super cup is something worth trying. It's a multi-layered affair, with a brandy flavored chocolate sauce (it doesn't contain any alcohol, just flavoring), a bitter chocolate ice cream, regular chocolate ice cream, and some chocolate cookie pieces for texture. I think if you like a lot of different flavors and textures in your ice cream of choice then this should appeal to you! The price feels pretty reasonable for what you get, especially if you compare it to the likes of Haagen-Dazs which is smaller and more expensive.

Even though this doesn't contain any actual alcohol, I know that some folks aren't a fan of that "alcohol-ish" taste that brandy flavoring contains. If that's the case for you, I'd probably skip this as it's quite a noticeable flavor. Overall though, I really liked this -- I appreciated the various flavors and textures that the product contains, and it really did feel like an adult ice cream. Perfect for an evening movie night at home or while binge watching your favorite TV show. Keep an eye out for it at your nearest convenience store if it sounds tasty to you!
