Review: Peanut butter makes everything better, but when you are dealing with something as good as gelato, I'm not sure this universal law affects much. Don't get me wrong, this is some tasty tasty stuff, but the rich flavor of the peanut butter and chocolate doesn't do too much when added to the already rich and creamy flavor of a basic vanilla gelato.

Perhaps if the gelato itself was peanut butter flavored, I would rave on about this treat, but as it stands, this is just a candy bar ground up and mixed into some plain vanilla Ice Cream. Though worth the price you pay, this gelato gets a solid average score. If you're going to try gelato, stay away from the boring regular flavors (even if you are a vanilla fan like me) or Blizzard-like flavors.
