Pino is often releasing new, seasonal flavors of their ice cream bites, and this Numa Strawberry option is the latest to hit convenience store shelves. The first thing I noticed about these when I opened the packet was the fact that they had a strawberry-like appearance, with pieces of strawberry flavored sugar "dotted" onto the chocolate coated exterior to look like strawberry seeds. Props for attention to detail! Flavor-wise, these are fab, too. The actual ice cream contains 20% strawberry juice so there's a really good depth of flavor, and the outer chocolate is strawberry flavored too. You really do get your fix of strawberry in various ways with these!

Flavor-wise, I don't have any complaints about these -- I would say that typically I prefer ice cream flavors like vanilla or chocolate, but these were so good that I would get them again. One downside is obviously that they're a limited time only product, so you've only got a short window of time to enjoy them. They're also only a convenience store release, so you won't be able to find them at supermarket chains. Well worth trying if you're a fan of all things strawberry at this time of year -- hope that if you try them you enjoy them as much as I did. Happy eating!
