Halo Top We'll spare you most of the comments the Delish crew had to say about Rainbow Swirl and leave you with this: One staffer called it "seasoned Play-Dough." At least it's edible, right?
Halo Top Again, Candy Bar was not a big hit with our team. We don't need to get into the gritty details-though the word "gritty" was mentioned quite a few times in passing.
Halo Top 44) Candy Bar (Dairy-Free) 4 of 47
While a lot of flavors' dairy-free counterparts ranked super high on this list, Candy Bar's was not one of them. The consensus was people would just rather have candy, straight.
Halo Top 43) Cookies & Cream 5 of 47
You go into a taste test thinking you know what Cookies & Cream tastes like...until now. Comments on Halo Top's version ranged from "weird aftertaste" to "it's floral?" Nothing inherently bad , just a bit odd.
Halo Top 42) Pancakes & Waffles (Dairy-Free) 6 of 47
This pretty much felt like eating straight syrup. Sure, that sounds nice in theory, but a bowl full of it is quite aggressive.
Halo Top 41) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 7 of 47
While the team is almost always down for a good dose of sugar, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was a two-bites-and-you're-done type of deal.
Halo Top 40) Chocolate Hazelnut (Dairy-Free) 8 of 47
"OMG, it's so heavy it hurts": The Chocolate Hazelnut Story.
Halo Top 39) Mochi Green Tea 9 of 47
A typically divisive flavor, it's not surprising Mochi Green Tea ended up toward the bottom of this list. I happened to love it, but the overwhelming office opinion was that it was too "perfume-y."
Halo Top 38) Pancakes & Waffles 10 of 47
The pervasive syrup flavor was lessened by the dairy, one assumes, but Pancakes & Waffles was still incredibly maple-forward.
Halo Top 37) Chocolate Mocha Chip 11 of 47
The takeaway from this pint is that low-cal ice cream does have the potential to be super rich. Like, super rich. Like, to-the-point-of-no-return rich. So rich!
Halo Top 36) Caramel Macchiato 12 of 47
The main takeaway of the Caramel Macchiato flavor was its "chalkiness." The flavor was nice, the texture was solid, but it left you with a lot of chewing to do.
Halo Top 35) Birthday Cake (Dairy-Free) 13 of 47
Though the flavor was innocuous, it was so much so that there wasn't much to say about it. "Meh," one editor wrote. "It's sweet and fine," another said.
Halo Top 34) Gingerbread House 14 of 47
Maybe it's because we've shifted our brains from Christmas flavors to Valentine's Day ones , but this pint missed the mark, in our opinion.
Halo Top 33) Chocolate-Covered Banana 15 of 47
The overpowering banana flavor here confused a lot of people, especially because its dairy-free counterpart was one of our favs. More on that later, though.
Halo Top 32) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 16 of 47
While people enjoyed the chunkiness the dough provided, they felt it hard to take more than a few bites of this flavor.
Halo Top Everyone liked vanilla bean. No one loved it.
Halo Top 30) Sea Salt Caramel 18 of 47
Again, nothing to complain about here: We'll take sea salt caramel ice cream over no sea salt caramel ice cream any day. But this version felt a little bit too salty and not enough sweet .
Halo Top 29) Oatmeal Cookie 19 of 47
"Not enough oatmeal flakes here," one oatmeal-loving staffer mentioned. As far as flavor, though? "Yum."
Halo Top A well-rounded take on Pistachio, the staff concluded. Nothing ground-breaking, but a pleasant eating experience, for sure.
Halo Top For as much as people were not into Gingerbread House, they were very much into Red Velvet. Why the two felt similar, no one could really identify. That said, this tasted like quality red velvet, whereas the gingerbread didn't feel all that gingerbread-like.
Halo Top 26) Cinnamon Roll (Dairy-Free) 22 of 47
Maybe it's the lack of dairy that allowed SO MUCH CINNAMON to overpower everything else here, but there was just...a lot of cinnamon happening.
Halo Top The S'mores pint was creamy, but not so much so that it felt heavy in the way s'mores tend to. It's all up from here!
Halo Top 24) Chocolate Almond Crunch (Dairy-Free) 24 of 47
Another perfectly nice flavor that was enjoyed but not raved about.
Halo Top 23) Blueberry Crumble 25 of 47
Fruity flavors is where Halo Top T-H-R-I-V-E-S, we realized pretty quickly. This riff on a classic pastry was a lovely happy medium.
Halo Top 22) Cinnamon Roll 26 of 47
The best of all Halo Top's Cinnamon Roll offerings.
Halo Top 21) Caramel Macchiato (Dairy-Free) 27 of 47
"Tastes like creamy coffee," an editor noted. Pretty good considering the whole dairy-free bit.
Halo Top This seasonal flavor brought the staff a lot of joy. No matter the time of year, we're here for crumbly pie bits mixed into spiced ice cream.
Halo Top 19) Vanilla Maple (Dairy-Free) 29 of 47
People much preferred this maple-heavy flavor to every variation of Pancakes & Waffles. "I want to top all kinds of pie with this stuff," was a good way of putting it.
Halo Top "This is refreshing!" more than one person noted of the Lemon Cake flavor. It really was very light, fluffy, and nice.
Halo Top 17) Mint Fudge Cookie (Dairy-Free) 31 of 47
Another flavor you'd think would be difficult to pull of without dairy, and yet..."Yeah, this tastes like Thin Mints."
Halo Top 16) Chocolate Almond Crunch 32 of 47
Lots to like about this flavor: "Equal parts chocolate, almond, and crunch," one person succinctly explained.
Halo Top 15) Birthday Cake 33 of 47
This flavor felt "luxurious"-a true cake-like experience, from start to finish.
Halo Top 14) Chocolate-Covered Banana (Dairy-Free) 34 of 47
This dairy-free flavor reminded us of banana Laffy Taffys and, therefore, of childhood. And who doesn't love a good frozen pint of childhood?
Halo Top 13) Peanut Butter Cup (Dairy-Free) 35 of 47
This one was only slightly upstaged by its dairy-containing companion. Pretty much everyone called it "yummy."
Halo Top 12) Peanut Butter Cup 36 of 47
"Would eat this every day of my life," one coworker exclaimed.
Halo Top 11) Chocolate (Dairy-Free) 37 of 47
Here's where the raving began. No one had anything but "yup, this is GOOD" to say about this flavor.
Halo Top 10) Peanut Butter & Jelly (Dairy-Free) 38 of 47
People came out hard for this classic combo: "Who wouldn't want to eat this? It's great."
Halo Top 9) Sea Salt Caramel (Dairy-Free) 39 of 47
This flavor was subtly delicious-we could appreciate not being hit over the head with salt, but tasting just a little bit of it amongst the classic caramel-iness of it all.
Halo Top 8) Peaches & Cream 40 of 47
Another baked good-type flavor, which not only tasted "summer-y," but it also felt really "comforting and happy," to one tester. Whatever that means.
Halo Top 7) Toasted Coconut (Dairy-Free) 41 of 47
This was one of the few flavors that really didn't feel like an indulgence. By that I mean this flavor was so light, it was hard to believe it was actual ice cream.
Halo Top Nothing but nice things to say here: The Delish team is all in on Black Cherry and its "very good cherry chunks."
Halo Top Another divisive flavor, but this one ended up near the top. "I love love looove a mint that's not too minty" was what people mostly took away from this.
Halo Top 4) Oatmeal Cookie 44 of 47
The dairy-free Oatmeal Cookie flavor was an underdog from the start, but it quickly rose toward #1. Not only were people impressed by the amount of oatmeal flakes throughout, but they also thought the could down the pint in its entirety.
Halo Top Strawberry was thiiisclose to taking the second-or even first-slot as everyone who tried it loved it. But there was one comment about it's "extremely sweet" flavor, so here we are at number 3.
Halo Top This take on chocolate ice cream is all the things you'd hope and expect a good one to be: rich, complex, and sweet on the finish.
Halo Top 1) Peanut Butter & Jelly 47 of 47
From one Delish peanut butter freak: "FAVORITE THING OF LIFE." From another: "A+ PB-TO-JELLY RATIO." In other words, this was THE BEST.
Halo Top
Can you guess which one came out on top?
