One thing I love is ice cream
flavors that are inspired by other desserts. They tend to taste better than the
original in my opinion, and I can get them without waiting 30 minutes for
baking. Peach Cobbler and Pumpkin
Cheesecake are the Ben & Jerry flavors I live for! You can only imagine my
thoughts when this peanut butter ice cream, with marshmallow and peanut butter
swirls, and caramel clusters popped up in my local store recently. FLUFFERNUTTER! It goes by the name “What a
Cluster” but you get my point. Another classic dessert made into an ice cream
flavor (and yes no cooking this either). I don’t know about you but, I add a
little caramel to my peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches, so this hit home
for me.
When I originally
saw that it was peanut butter ice cream and swirls my thoughts were peanut
butter overload. I even shared on twitter that it could use more caramel. Don't
hold me to that thought because it was wrong. In a summary, this is more like
childhood in a scoop; a combo of fluffernutter and caramel candy! When the lid
is first open you see those swirls in that pale colored ice cream . The caramel
clusters are hidden waiting for a spoon to dig in and I couldn't wait!
When I take my first bite of the
ice cream the peanut butter is thick and rich in a good way. It's something
that has to be savored because that is how peanut butter is.There was lots smacking lol! My favorite part
of this experience was the clusters; they are small but kind of chewy and
slightly crunchy. This is the part that make you feel like a kid chewing on
your favorite caramel candy. When eaten with the ice cream they taste like
salty caramel goodness. Personally, I ate the
whole half pint enough for four people but it's that good.
Overall, this is really great and
yes run and go get it. I will say though
this should be enjoy a little at a time
just because the peanut butter gets a bit excessive. Also all the peanut butter gets in the way of
the marshmallow flavor but it's still very delicious. Now if you love these
three flavor together this one is a winner. If you aren't a Ben & Jerry's ice
cream fan look them up at http://www.benjerry.com
