Where's the ice cream?

[ErickStevens]

B&J's Chocolate Peppermint Crunch B I liked this a lot, not sure if the taste justifies the macros though. The mint chocolate cookie balls were awesome and very crunchy. I love me some texture.

Where's the ice cream?

hey man im cutting! i cant eat a lot of ice cream

[igglesphan]

I have never seen them in this size before. If you can get Jeni's for 7.99 a pint then stock up on everything. Srs. The pints are $11 everywhere else.

Ended up getting a few but haven't cracked these open yet.

One of the most impressive scores of this thread...

[KingJames2012]

Mmmmm Graeters Coconut Chip. It tastes like a hint of Coconut with creamy vanilla ice cream. Signature Graeters chocolate chips with what tastes like, unsweetened coconut flakes, allowing the ice cream to not be overbearingly sweet and let the clean flavors stand on it's own.

Derp, forgot to post a few pictures I took of this weekend's eats.


Terrible shot of Candy Bar Pie. In the picture you can see the fluffy nougat component, and you can almost get a grasp of the dense, pie-like texture just from looking at it.



Coconut 7 layer bar had much larger mix-ins than anticipated. In the dead center of the pint, you can see a walnut and appreciate that they are large, whole pieces. The chips in both pints I got were largely whole and un-crushed as well. The lighting in the shot is poor, but you can see that trademark B&J's graham cracker swirl strewn about about the perimeter. The butterscotch, which wasn't on display in this layer, was a subtle player that took everything to the next level. It was absolutely stunning on re-scoop, confirming the glowing review I gave it earlier. Top 3 all-time flavor for me, I reckon.

Theyre frequently 7.99 at my local grocer. However, they only have like 6 flavors. I'll be trying chocolate next time, considering The Solution has been making Jeni's Chocolate seem like the second coming of christ or something. I'm suprised it's 11 everywhere else, considering i'm in the pacific northwest.. far as hell from a jeni's

Thats why its "The Milkiest Chocolate in the World"
It will blow your mind, I had to sample it a few times because i thought it was too good to be true.

Almond Butter Brittle = Insane
Salted Carmel is very good too
Queen City Cayenne was solid and took me by surprise.
Buckeye Graeters > Jenni's IMO

$11 in the DC area as well. Depends on your market. Everything is more expensive here.

Damn, they only have the dark chocolate flavor here. Equally fantastic?

They also have Pistachios and honey and Brambleberry (both of which ive had and enjoyed), whiskey and pecans, lemon frozen yogurt, and brown butter almond brittle. I'll probably pick up either BBAB or dark choc. next time.

They had salted caramel at one point but I didnt pick it up in time, its gone now

Dark Chocolate is solid too man, Salted Carmel is on point. literally 5x better than coldstone.

[chadomac]

Brambleberry Crisp is incredible. I eat the entire pint every time... So I can only have Jeni's once in awhile. I'd go broke.

You mean burnt marshmallow? It was so bad I was tempted to email them ad ask for a refund. Dead srs

[Chadillac2000]

I liked Jeni's Salted Caramel as well for some reason. It has a more powerful "salted" taste that could come off as burnt to some people I guess, but I thought it made the flavors a little more complex.

[ErickStevens]

Burnt marshmallows? All I tasted was a very strong caramel flavor.

I hardly noticed the caramel flavor until it melted a bit. It tasted burnt. I nor my wife (who loves caramel ice creams) enjoyed it. I can't think of a caramel ice cream i enjoyed less

i see what you mean. the flavor caught me off guard, but i love the taste of burnt sugar/caramel/marshmallow.

Damn hopefully they restock, regardless of mixed reviews i really have to try that salted caramel

Exactly...
Sounds like a bad pint, i had it fresh from the jenni original store, there was nothing burnt tasting about it at all. Not me or the 3 other people i was with when we went..

I'm sickeningly jealous of your recent finds. How much did it cost? Or is that a sore subject? Honestly, if my wife didn't prohibit me , I'd be smashing Jeni 1x/week.

Sounds like a bad pint to me. I wasn't a huge fan of it to be honest, I needed some kind of texture.

It wasn't a good scene buying 8 pints this weekend. One $11 pint and two $7 pints in that. The stupid B&J scoop shop charges $7 per pint.

I would definitely email them and see. If they are anything like B&J they would rectify it.

I agree on texture. Plain caramel base is boring to me but I still didn't enjoy the base. I'll take caramel coast all day for much better price

[ZDub212]

First thing's first.

Had Sunday Morning...it was unreal. Such high quality, the texture, the taste...that is what ice cream is supposed to be.

After that I had OCC and some various other B&Js and HD flavors and I was just thoroughly disappointed...until I had PB World.

I was completely wrong about PB World. There's nothing boring about it. The Milk Chocolate Base is extra creamy, chocolatey, and is done very well, the chocolate cookies really add a nice enough break in the texture, and the PB Swirls are the perfect sweet and salty compliment to this pint. I've recently rescooped a lot of the B&Js pints, and this is right near the top. OCC, IWP, etc all came down a few pegs.

Quick question for my fellow PB lovers.

I'm considering picking up a pint of Jeni's Buckeye State, but its $15 here in NYC and wanted your opinions first. Here is my ranking of flavors with PB bases that I've tried: 1) WAC 2) Candy Bar Pie 3) HD PB Pie (wasn't bad, but I had I high hopes based on the description and it didn't deliver). WAC is amazing. Great PB flavor and it was sweet enough to satisfy my monster sweet tooth. I feel PB Pie lacked in both PB flavor and sweetness (I will be scooping again tonight to confirm my initial assessment). How does Jeni's compare to WAC and the others? I've read on this thread that it is almost savory, which does not sound appealing at all to me.

On a separate note. Heads up for those who have access to Publix (I unfortunately no longer do). B&J is going on BOGO starting the next sale cycle. Enjoy your $2 pints.

Love this flavor. Probably a B+

$15 is robbery. I'd be insulted at that.
