Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake

Review
Malty Chocolate Ice Cream: A rich, creamy milk chocolate base, malty as promised. Smooth and mildly sweet.
Dark Caramel Ribbons: Giant gobs of caramel on top of the pint as you can see. Several spread throughout the pint as well. It’s a thick, sweet, dark, almost burnt caramel. Most pints have only thin ribbons of caramel—so thin they don’t really provide much caramel flavor. And many caramel swirls are so thin they simply dissolve and disappear into the base. But this pint features decadent pools of caramel you can truly taste. The caramel acts as an effective contrast against the pint’s chocolate flavors.
Potato Chips: Plentiful small potato chip bits randomly distributed throughout the pint, and a few larger potato chip clumps as well. The smaller ones tend to be soft or somewhat soggy, but the larger clumps were crunchy and salty. They add texture and savory flavor.
Chocolate Cupcake Chunks: Pieces of chocolate cake of various sizes, many with chocolate ganache attached. Soft cake, but I’m pleased to find not soggy. S&S describes the cupcake as being “doused with coffee syrup,” but it’s a subtle coffee flavor beneath the chocolate. A generous amount of cake mix-ins are spread throughout the pint—some spoonfuls having multiple pieces.
Overall: Salt & Straw’s Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake has a lot going on in its name—and in its pint. This one is amazing—simply loaded with mix-ins. Every spoonful has multiple flavors and textures. A generous amount of chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, and potato chips are everywhere. Plus: big honking pools of dark caramel powerful enough to stand up against all that chocolate. My only suggestion: more of the larger, crispier potato chip clumps, if you please, and less of the tiny, soggy potato chip bits. But I just like to hear myself complain. We are approaching ice cream perfection here as is. Recommended. 9/10.

Salt & Straw website description
Salty, sweet, and particularly hedonistic, this flavor emerged in August 2015 and has been asked for by name ever since. With malty chocolate ice cream loaded with hunks of chocolate cake doused in coffee syrup and chocolate ganache, it’s not hard to understand why. As if that wasn’t enough, we introduce potato chips into the mix—covering those coveted ridges with even more chocolate—and balance the saltiness and crunch with generous ribbons of rich, dark caramel. Inspired by the infamous Highway to Heaven cupcake from a former Portland bakeshop, Sugarcube, this flavor comes with a motto: If you’re going to have a scoop of ice cream, you might as well go all in!
