Mint Chip Ice Cream

What is it?

Cool peppermint ice cream, tinted green and studded with small chocolate chips, sits in Walmart's Great Value ice cream lineup alongside the usual vanilla, chocolate, and other standard flavors. Peppermint rather than spearmint drives the base, and the chips are dispersed throughout instead of clustered in big pockets. At 48 fl oz, it's sold in a family-size container, with a pint also available in some stores. Firm straight from the freezer and softer after a few minutes on the counter, the texture follows the usual frozen dairy pattern. Chocolate chips add a bitter-sweet snap that contrasts with the cool, sweet mint base.
