Happy Happy Wednesday everybody!!!  Thought I would offer y’all some hump day fun and review some Ben and Jerry’s ice creams.  In all honesty, I only know for sure that one of these ice creams is brand spanking new (because I no joke waited for it’s arrival in stores), but the others, no idea, I think they are probably considered new-ish.  Anyways let’s get to it…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

First we have the ‘One Love’ ice cream which is a banana ice cream with caramel swirls and little chocolate peace signs.  This was the ice cream that I knew was about to be released and went on the hunt for the day it was supposedly out, and obviously the one I was most excited about trying…<\/strong><\/p>\n

don’t we all like to see what the ice cream looks like when the top is first taken off?…<\/strong><\/p>\n

all that delicious caramel goodness and just enough chocolate…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ok y’all, this ice cream met every expectation I had and then some.  The banana ice cream is sooo good, it tastes like fresh banana bread, not that artificial banana candy flavor that leaves an after taste.  The caramel was super gooey (the way it should be) and perfectly swirled throughout, seriously the ratio was perfect.  Again, the little chocolate peace signs were just enough, not too much and the mix & ratio of everything just worked, it is sooo good.  I really hope they keep this flavor around,  it does not need to be a limited batch, this is a for sure 10 out of 10.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, next we have the ‘Oat of the Swirled’ Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream which is a buttery brown sugar ice cream with fudge flakes and oatmeal cinnamon cookie swirls…<\/strong><\/p>\n

nice and opened…<\/strong><\/p>\n

nom…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So first, the brown sugar ice cream is just as delicious as I had anticipated, and in my opinion,  brown sugar ice cream should really be the base far more than it is because, yum, it is nice and rich and is just different enough without being crazy.  The oatmeal cinnamon cookie swirl, is also as amazing as I had hoped it would be.  The texture is just like raw oatmeal cookie dough, which is swirled throughout.  Ok, so onto the fudge flakes, which were more like giant fudge chunks, which there were too many of and at times overpowered the whole flavor scheme.  The chocolate could have been left completely out and I would have been thrilled and if they I had,  I would have given this ice cream a 10 out of 10, since that is not the case, I give this ice cream an 8 out of 10.     <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here we have the ‘Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core’ ice cream which is a dark caramel and vanilla ice cream with Speculoos cookies and a Speculoos Cookie Butter core.  Ever since my discovery of cookie butter I’ve basically been obsessed, so I had to try this one (think I would have preferred if it was Biscoff cookie butter but whatevs).  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I scooped out some of the ice cream so y’all could see more of the cookie butter core, mmm…<\/strong><\/p>\n

look at all that cookie butter…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First off, the description says that the ice cream is dark caramel mixed with vanilla ice cream, but honestly I did not get a hint of dark caramel which was disappointing.  The ice cream base tastes like a basic mild caramel flavor which is fine but not mind blowing like I had hoped for.  They also said there were cookie pieces, and honestly didn’t find too many of those, so that was meh.  Now, the cookie butter core is a another story, that thing is throughout, thick and absolutely delicious, I could have sat there and dug out the core, eaten that and been totally fine.  Overall, this is a good ice cream, just not as good as it could have been.  If the ice cream base had been a full on dark caramel, it would have bumped this stuff to a 9 out of 10, instead I give it a solid 7 out of 10.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lastly, we have these Pint Slices in Americone Dream.  The flavor Americone Dream has been one of my favorite flavors for a few years now because, sweet a little bit salty, and some crunch,  so I was way excited to try these.<\/strong><\/p>\n

looks promising…<\/strong><\/p>\n

the inside…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Y’all, this has to be hands down the most disappointing ice cream item in the history of ice cream!  I absolutely love Americone dream ice cream, it’s totally awesome with all the crunchy semi-salty bites of chocolate covered waffle cones and the swirls of caramel, noms! Unfortunately, these pint slices literally contained none of that stuff.  This was basically cruddy vanilla ice cream wrapped in cruddy chocolate.  The whole thing tasted like freezer burn and I threw them all out—I NEVER throw out ice cream! Do not waste your time with these things, I give them a solid 1 out 10.  Sounds harsh, but seriously, just Ben & Jerry’s just stick to what you know, awesome ice cream.   <\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks so much for stopping by and if there’s something you would like me to review next, just give me a shout! <\/strong><\/p>\n
