[The Solution]

I need to find something new and exciting for my bday

It's your b-day... spring for the Jenni's!!!

This
Their chocolate is the best chocolate you will have
Salted Carmel = HNNNGGG
Almond Butter Brittle is insane good, The cayenee Chocolate that i had too was very good.

What flavors do you have Psycho? i got the chance to sample all of them at the shop in Columbus, and i was blown away at the quality of Jenni's. Now i see why they are the price it is.

Which is best? Almond brittle, dark choc, and whiskey were probably the most appealing they had

[leinenn]

Hit up Winn Dixie and found those yoplait greek froyos that Mitch has been raving about. 2/$5 too.

I've had multiple pints of each of the flavors except black cherry. Honey Caramel seems to be my favorite with strawberry a close second. Let me know how the black cherry is, I might have to go pick some up. I know my Hy-Vee carries them all.

Almond Brittle!

[psychodiver9]

Almond Brittle!

That one is by far the most appealing. Likely to go back out and get it

Can't find the Honey Caramel anywhere, that's the one I've been wanting to try for a while now.

Hard to go wrong with any of those though!

thats a good deal. lmk how u like em. Im killing a pint tonight myself. I could never find the black cherry so I'm curious about that 1. IMO all the fruit 1s are "Bs" and the HC is an A

[tden99]

Definitely agree. I'm excited though as my price chopper just started stocking those yesterday.

FUUUU. none of the stores close to me have yet to stock them. When I've made make sporadic trips to walmart (30 mins away) I bought like 8 pints lol

[psychodiver9]

Almond Brittle!

Will be going down tonight with bday cake

[shawco]

Just had B and J red velvet cake....ehhhhhhh. That's the sum of my review. It obviously wasn't bad, but I was disappointed. The cheesecake flavor never came through really, and the cake pieces could have been bigger.

6/10 won't be rescooping. Can't wait to rescoop cinnamon buns again this weekend.

Breyer's Chocolate Covered Pretzel A Like Chubby Hubby with awesome macros. This is my favorite Breyer's flavor (not saying much) just edging out Golden Oreo.

I really hope I can find these somewhere locally. Honey caramel sounds so good.

Would this be on your list then as an "A" or is it just an "A" out of all the Breyer's?

Honestly this is one of those ratings that's skewed to my personal bias - I love chocolate covered pretzels. I might be overrating it a bit but I liked it so much I'll probably eat it again tomorrow night. If you know anything about me it's very rare for me to repeat a selection like that.

Thanks. I'll buy some and try it out.

Same here. I went a few Places but didn't find anything special. Still not sure about spending $11 on a pint for jennies. Went to one wal green but no pralines

Think of it this way, on a dollar per calorie basis it's probably a better deal than a lot of things you buy regularly.

Will let you guys know soon, but first...

Graeters Black Raspberry Chip


The flavor of the base as a bit too tarty for my liking. What I liked though was the creaminess of the base so Graeter's is definitely living up to its hype in that regard. Now what I LOVED were the chocolate chunks. I thought they would be hard as bricks, but they were nice and chewy, tasted alot like dark chocolate which is a bonus. 8/10 because of the base flavor. Looking forward to digging into vanilla chip down the road! Need to find PB, Toffee, and Cookie Dough!

Awesome!!! Be sure to post some pics... and happy b-day!

Have you tried Blue Bunny Sweet and Salty Pretzel? I thought that was very good, similar to Chubby Hubby obviously.

Phish Food - a solid 9/10

This is very close to being a perfect ice cream. Between the rich chocolate base, the diversity of swirls, and the seemingly countless fish, everything seems close o perfect. The base is the chocolate we all know and enjoy, the marshmallow swirl is similar to Fluff branded marshmallow and actually contrasts with the base nicely. You can clearly distinguish the fluff. The caramel was a little harder to taste (and see in the ocean of brown), and when compared to the caramel swirl in Hagen Dazs, Hagen Dasz wins by a large margin. There were about 30 fish in this ice cream, and they are definitely a quality chocolate. They offered a great texture and flavor that the basic crushed chocolate "fudge" rectangles simply can't. Because they are larger, they lasted longer in your mouth and were subsequently able to provide more chocolate flavor to each bite.



Halfway

[center]REVIEW: Ben & Jerry's Banana Peanut Butter Greek Frozen Yogurt...I was really surprised by this one.

about time you hopped on the train! although i can see why people do not like the tartness of greek yogurt. i love it though.

[ugasar]

Suggstions for pint this weekend.

I have limited Talenti Flavors, decent BnJ Flavors, my HD selection sucks, and graters i have tried pretty much the best flavors out there (not a fan of the chip flavors even though the mix-ins are HUGE, but the base gets dull half way through once you get the taste for it)

Was thinking:

Creme Brulee by BnJ
Salted Carmel Truffle by HD (but i have had SSC by talenti and that was amazing)
Triple Carmel Chunk or Karmel Sutra by BnJ

My HD is pretty sucky i cannot find pralaines and cream, Cookie Dough, or Midnight cookies and cream which are raved on here

Or some re-visit -- Phish Food, What a Clsuter, Half Baked (big Cookie and PB Mix-In Junkie)

Also not a big mint guy... so i stray from anything mint..

Creme Brulee by B&J was not good at all in my opinion, especially for you, as it has ZERO mix-ins.. Triple Caramel Chunk is alright and I have yet to try Karamel Sutra so that gets my vote. However, it is lacking mix-ins as well based off of the few reviews I've seen..)

Very good flavor.. Definitely in my top 5!
PS: mirin that ice cream spoon hard!

Finally found B&J's Pumpkin Cheesecake. After struggling to make myself stop at one serving, I think I can say that it's one of the best ice creams offered by Ben & Jerry's. I just wish they carried it year round...

[DukeValentino]

Fuuuuu all these ice creams are making me hhhnnngg more than the yellow fever thread...

[psychodiver9]

Awesome!!! Be sure to post some pics... and happy b-day!

Tonight. A bit under the weather and after dinner and cake i wasn't hungry and wanted to enjoy it rather than force it. Almost raged when i found my wife left it on the counter when we got home

Never seen it. woodsmash/10

It wouldn't be so bad if all the flavors weren't fruit based.

[senoner]

I finally came across some new flavors.

[Robboe]

This is as good as everyone says it is.
