Klondike: so-so chocolate, rather good ice cream (again, the vanilla lingers nicely in a way the chocolate doesn't); no stick, which actually makes eating it a bit more of an adventure, more involving, if you will, in the trying not to drop the fucking thing on the ground sense
winner: Klondike. Dove's chocolate pleases the palate more, but Klondike provides the better overall experience

I agree that texture is extremely important in these matters. that is why the chocolate chips that surround the ice cream in a Chipwich endlessly beguile me.

but I enjoy those shavings--I assume you mean the little rectangular chocolate bits?--I had a caramelée at Bilboquet, a really great place in an adjoining neighbourhood, made with caramel ice cream, chocolate shavings and pralines the other day. I nearly broke down and cried.

well, we're basically talking a butterfinger-like rig, only the peanut butter innards are flaky & crunchy. it's coated with chocolate of course.

on a similar note: peanut butter in ice cream--classic or dud? I say classic; thickens the texture, gives it a weird sludge-kick that makes eating it like talking in slow motion. the Black Sabbath of ice cream? or do I mean the Black Sabbath of ice cream!

Dove Bars try to hard for the "Oh, I'm a fancypants elegant sophisticate named Dirk/Buffy with a pet poodle" image, and consequently, each Dove Bar is about the size of the H key on my keyboard and costs about $406. Because everyone knows that if something is Dirk/Buffy-worthy, it has to be really small and really expensive. When really, Dove Bars are only pseudo-"Oh, I'm a fancypants elegant sophisticate named Dirk/Buffy with a pet poodle" because they really aren't THAT good (they are good, but not worth the price and image).
Klondike Bars, on the other hand, don't bullshit. They're good-sized, great-tasting, and good-priced. And every flavor variety they have is mmm mmm good. Except Neapolitan, which is the dirty ass of all ice cream flavors.

Grrrrr. Now I'm going to have to sweep down to a nearby convenience store the first chance I get and eat one of those. Probably for breakfast, too. Drumstick Temptation!
I hate Choco Tacos because I had a nasty one one time and it almost made me gag. I couldn't finish it; I ended up eating half of it and throwing the rest away, because I could not stand it. I suppose it was supremely old and frostbitten and maybe the fresher and newer ones would be great. But I'm going to have to wait more before I feel up to trying one of those out again.
Chez Deanna advocates both the Dove soap bar (for showering up, of course) and the Dove ice cream bar (NOT for showering up, of course), btw.

hahaha:
Well, it's fucking official. I can not find a Chipwich anywhere in this neighbourhood. Seems like Nestlé has been moving in, offering deps freezers in exchange for exclusivity. Meaning: no Chipwiches, scarcely a popsicle to be found etc etc--just the overpriced Nestlé product line. I just had a Chips Ahoy! brand Chipwich imitation, and it made me want to cry.
-- s1utsky (parrisactava...), June 11th, 2003 9:20 PM. (slutsky)
the chipwich is still the best.
and yet... it is dying out.
it breaks my heart to tell you that deps in this town are INCREASINGLY turning to the greedy arms of nestle inc, which offers free freezers--on the condition that you only store nestle products in them. i know of only one holdout that ALSO carries chipwiches.
goodbye, fair chipwich.
