** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread **

[ugasar]

Surprised I wasn't completely thrilled with this pint. I wonder if "truffle trifecta" will outshine "everything but the", given that "truffle trifecta" has truffles loaded with filling that could potentially add quite a bit of flavor to each bite. These truffles had better make a big impact; Ben and Jerry's chocolate base is good, but I've been having it a lot lately...

I can't believe you didn't thoroughly enjoy this pint either Winston.. This flavor at the moment is easily a top 5 for me! I had tons of mix-ins so maybe I was lucky in that aspect of the pint, although I will say that the combination of vanilla & chocolate ice creams was stellar IMO.. My least amount of mix-in, however, was also heath bar crunch which I was disappointed in as it has really grown on me as one of my favorite candies!

First I'll review the poptarts due to popular demand.
I'm not a huge poptart fan to begin with as I almost always would rather have another serving of ice cream.
My brother comes Tuesday so I'll also let you know what he thinks as he loves his poptarts.
I bought them at the Big Y shopping center in Pittsfield and they didn't have the other ones which was odd.
It was actually a complete accident as I was on an ice cream searching trip.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Poptarts
They tied my favorites poptarts along with Red velvet and confetti cupcake. Although these tasted much richer than most of the poptarts, which was their best selling point, they seemed poorly frosted (as seen in the pic) and overly sweet. I would have rather seen an unsweetened PB used rather than adding to the sweetness of the chocolate frosting.
Again though, I'm not a huge poptart fan to begin with so my brothers report may be more accurate for those poptart lovers out there.

^^^Exactly why I'm leaning towards the plain gone-nutty PB poptarts as being slightly better! But hey, if you are putting them on the same level as Red Velvet (my personal favorite) then these may be the real deal as well..

Red Velvet is one of my top flavors. It's next to Sugar Cookie and Pumpkin Spice. I'm psyched to get these nutty's now.

Thanks for the review.

It was definitely enjoyable, but it just didn't hit the "A" mark for me. It really needed a swirl or a softer mix-in to push it over the edge. That or more mix-ins haha.

just picked these up from target.
im expecting big things from brownie chew gooder & pb world.
hopefully they dont let me down.

There's a lot of flavors on here I can't find, like pb pie. I did find my oh my peanut butter pie by front porch and ill be having a serving of that and the burnt sugar bourbon high road.

Still mad the fresh market stopped carrying high road and that my price chopper traded the graeters selection for the yoplait froyo

Wait... You have Front Porch and High Road but not Haagen Dazs?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - Fresh Harvest now carries Steve's.

[Makween]

A local cafe serves banana split in an elephant shaped bowl. Dafuq?



Inexplicable. Still tasted good, though.

We have HD just not that flavor. I went to whole foods for high road. It's a shame it's not sold everywhere as its made 30 minutes from here.

[adamlee34]

High road Burnt Sugar Bourbon is really great if you are a bourbon guy like me. I wish it had mix ins but as a base only ice cream it's definitely in my top 5.

Front Porch My oh my peanut butter pie.. Wow. Will be buying ingles out tomorrow. Lots of pb, good amount of crust and a really good pb base. Definitely one of the best ice creams I've ever had.

BB Caramel Fudge Brownie Sunday


C- First time trying this brand. Didn't manage to scoop many brownies Didn't taste any caramel, chocolate base is way too powerful. Consistency of base isn't fluffy or gummy like other lower cal varieties. Hopefully I get more brownies in when I rescoop.

[psychodiver9]

Jenis Dark Chocolate. A. Best chocolate base I've ever had. Would have loved a mix in but was an A without

Told ya! Stuff is potent. had to sample it twice i thought my mind was playing tricks on me.

Yep. It was amazing. I kept waiting for it to be too rich after awhile but it never happened. Unfortunately no more Jennis here I want. Whiskey and pecans (maybe), lavender, and pear are others ive seen

[Slaugh]

cool place called subzero. they make your ice cream as a liquid then give it a shot of liquid nitrogen to freeze it. brownie marshmallow cookie dough combo. so good, and they give you like double the bowl size

Definitely agree.. Gingerbread is up there as well!

I have a target nearby that I'm going to get to eventually to pick up their exclusive flavors.. The only one I have had ironically is Berry Voluntary and I will go ahead & say that it is surprisingly good.. Like you said, most people only know about the brownie chewgooder & PB world, but don't let the berry voluntary fool you haha.. Raspberry and white chocolate combination is spot-on I promise; my second favorite cheesecake offering by B&J behind strawberry cheesecake.. srs!

Lavender icecream is actually quite incredible; I would strongly suggest trying jeni's version of it. I have a very small jeni's selection where I live and Lavender is not available, but I had Lavender icecream at a smaller independent scoop shop here in MN and it was great.

Theres also a scoop shop that has a oatmeal raison cookie icecream; its honestly better than OCC could ever be. Replace the chocolate chips with raisons = 10000x better

Yeah, the brownies will be all chilling in the middle/bottom. Very average if you ask me. The first couple of scoops were "ok." I forced myself to finish it just so I could be done with it lol.

Yeah I'm srsly tempted to just toss the container. I initially thought it was RVC when i picked it up at walmart and that's what I thought I was scooping tonight when I opened my freezer. Guess my dumb ass deserved to get punished lol. The rescoop better be an improvement.

[Bnizzle163]

Not being a huge mint fan, I give B&J props for CPC. I thought it was pretty tasty. B+ IMO




Also made a pick up last night. Scooping PB world tonight. Can't wait!

havent had strawberry cheesecake yet, but was just reread the berry voluntary description & it actually sounds pretty good now that you mention it.
i might have to scoop it within the next couple of weeks (already have a few planned for the next few days)
also sounds like i should pick up strawberry cheesecake as well lol.

I don't like chocolate chunks in icecream, but I adore white chocolate chunks, so long as they are large enough to stand on their own; for me the white chocolate chunks are the highlight of the pint but I found some bites to taste really....weird; bland and more like a greek yogurt. Not even a frozen greek yogurt, just a greek yogurt.

I have been meaning to re scoop tiramisu, last time I had it I was in one of the single servings and it was HNNNNGG for some reason.

PB world is probably a top 5, really really (really) solid.

I should probably re scoop brownie chew gooder, but last time I had it I had so very few brownies I didn't finish the pint. But I hear that the brownies tend to be at the bottom.

As far as target exclusives PB world > Tiramisu > Brownie chew gooder/The raspberry cheesecake.

But that's just my opinion, you are free to have your own (:

[sofocused978]

Went to the B&J Scoop Shop at the casino today. Tried Candy Bar Pie and Coconut 7 Layer Bar, had one scoop of each. Candy Bar Pie is possibly the best Ben and Jerry's I've ever had and I'm not even joking. That **** was amazing.
