** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread -- Round 2 **

[Jevice]

Another solid LE flavor from Turkey Hill. It's tough to see the whoopie pie pieces because they blend in with the base, but it was loaded with them (although they could have been larger)

I hate how close you are to their distribution line. This is one of my favorite limited editions from them and I know I won't be seeing it for a couple more weeks if I'm lucky.

Peanut Butter Jam Session


Upon reading many good reviews of this flavor, I was excited to scoop this pint up, especially being a fan of B&J’s peanut butter incorporations. Peanut Butter Ice Cream with a Crunch Peanut Butter Swirl and a Raspberry Swirl sounds like it would be hard to screw up in the first place.



I pry off the lid and mainly witness peanut butter swirls with a hint of raspberry mixed into the peanut butter ice cream. The base tastes more similar to What A Cluster than Peanut Butter Cup, although all of these peanut butter incorporated flavors are supposed to have the same peanut butter base ice cream.



Nonetheless, I believe this is one of B&J’s better base offerings, as it is not overly sweet and brings a perfect savory aspect to the table. Although I could easily just eat and enjoy the peanut butter ice cream, the crunchy peanut butter swirl is what really brings this flavor to the forefront. The fact that B&J’s uses a crunchy swirl is simply genius, and gives the pint that added chew that would have otherwise been absent.



Lastly, the raspberry swirl is sugary and really brings the flavor full circle in order to relay what the name of this pint is hinting, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Although I’m not sure if I would be able to distinguish the raspberry from strawberry if blindfolded, it doesn’t matter as the raspberry swirl allows for the peanut butter and jelly sandwich taste you are looking for when eating this ice cream.



I think B&J’s nailed this flavor, and they especially elevated the ranking of it by incorporating a crunchy swirl. Even though I have other B&J peanut butter flavored ice creams ranked ahead of Peanut Butter Jam Session, this flavor should be a guaranteed pick-up on your next visit to Target.

I decided to try Coffee Heath Bar Crunch today. Ate half the pint and I had 4 chunks that were HUGE..at least 25-35% of an entire Heath bar. The coffee base is enjoyable...I will likely scoop it again eventually.

With the introduction of new flavours, I'm keen to see what everyones TOP 2 (COUNT IT, 2 ONLY) B&J flavours are. Wonder if we'd have a majority on a few flavours

Mine would be

Everything but the

In on this top 2 thing.

Stone Ridge Creamery Peanut Butter Cup - Vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cup pieces and ribbons of fudge and peanut butter. Some of the peanut butter cups were reminiscent of the ones found in BnJ's Peanut Butter Cup while a majority of them were broken down but they were great nonetheless. Even though I would have preferred a Peanut butter base, the Vanilla was fairly good. The ribbons of fudge & peanut butter really came together well and made everything that much better. Overall, this was a solid pickup and I would recommend it to anyone that is lucky enough to get Stone Ridge in their area.

Had WAC. It was great, except for the marshmallow and the mixins. The mixins were so useless. They needed to be crunchy instead of crumbly. The marshmallow swirl made the bites it was in taste super weird. It's at about a B+, maybe a B.

Also picked up PB Jam Session, super excited to destroy that.

Häagen Dazs was on sale in a local store, so I bought these two:



I already ate the left one (Caramel Biscuits and cream with speculoos). The taste was good, however, the chunks of speculoos could've been a bit bigger (this is pretty much how I feel about every pint of Häagen Dazs).

No one picked up the new DQ Blizzard yet? i will go pick one up today.

They sell it here locally. I'll have to pick this up and try it. Was pretty skeptical and wanted to wait for someone to review a flavor of there's before picking anything from Stone Ridge up.

Never found a marshmallow swirl in my WAC pints. I do agree with you on the mix ins, which is why this is not one of my top flavors. I will be re-scooping soon though to see if my opinion changes.

2nd Street Creamery: Truck Stop Fudge
I was really excited to try this flavor after the reviews I read. I was crazing chocolate and thought this would be the perfect pint. Lots of fudge sauce which were excellent, but the marshmallow swirl had no taste. The base was nothing special either. The only thing I really liked about this pint was the fudge sauce. I don't think I'll be re-scooping this one and would give it a C+.

Pictures don't look bad at all, I would love to try this flavor.. I'm looking to find 2nd Street in my area and can't wait to try this flavor along with Cookie Dough, Brownies & CKC. C+ seems like a pretty bad rating??

I consider C+ to be alright but not worth re-scooping again. I like the other 2nd Street flavors, but really was just not a fan of this one. Nothing stood out to me about this pint.

Smores was unique with how well the cinnamon and graham cracker complimented each other.

[The Solution]

cinnamon?

The graham cracker mix-in gave it a bit of a cinnamon after taste IMO and i commented on it in my review. Tasted like a Cinnamon Graham Cracker.

Had the Häagen Dazs Belgian Chocolate yesterday. Not a real fan of chocolate ice cream, but this was by far the best I've ever had. I'd give it a B+, if there were some mix ins beside the chocolate shavings (brownies, fudge,...) it would be the best ice cream i've ever had.

For the Caramel biscuits and cream with speculoos I'd say C+

Definitely the best DQ I've ever had, even on top of my won Oreo, PB Cup, caramel etc concoctions.

Will be trying Chocolate Covered Cheesecake on Saturday after I'm done with Tough Mudder. I think it will be well deserved after that.
