Yuengling's Root Beer Float Ice Cream

Ever since I spied these new Yuengling pints at Stop & Shop (Giant), I've been debating which one I should try to show off the new form factor. Well, the mood (and the sale), finally hit today and I decided to try...

Graeter's Key Lime Pie Ice Cream

[By Nick, Seasonal] Not too long ago, Graeter's announced their new line of ice cream sandwiches. They were gracious enough to send me over a couple of each variety but before we get to those treats, there was also a surprise in my shipment. You see, this is one of their seasonal flavors that's limited enough that it doesn't even have an official pint design.

Arby's Pumpkin Cheesecake Shake

One, the OEM battery on my wife's car didn't make it past the four year mark. Two, whoever designed the battery holder on her car should have their engineering degree revoked. Three, episode 66 of the Nosh Show is here! Four, as my reward for fixing the car, I grabbed the new...

Luigi's Chocolate Fudge Italian Ice

[New for 2015] While my son is still pining for his beloved Chocolate Polish Ice, I was intrigued to see that Luigi's has a new flavor out this year. I say intrigued because we don't see a ton of movement in the Italian ice space, but at the same time, part of me is thinking "they are just trying chocolate now?"

Open Nature White Chocolate Raspberry Gelato Bars

I finally made it back to Shaws the other day, and while I didn't find anything truly new, I did find something new to me, and I'm pretty stoked about it.

Ben & Jerry's New Belgium Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2015] So back in April, Ben & Jerry's and New Belgium announced that they were making an ice cream inspired Ale. Well, apparently the partnership didn't end there as they have now announced an Ale inspired ice cream with some proceeds going to Protect Our Winters. (click here for the entire press release).

Hood Raspberry Crunch Lowfat Frozen Yogurt

[By Nick] Time for a new product that isn't all that new. Remember Hood's Greek froyo line? Well, they killed that this year. However, for those who liked that line, there's some good news. The raspberry granola flavor has now be reborn into their regular froyo line. Let's skip the semantics and see how this one compares to its fallen comrade.

Saucy Sundae - Torani White Chocolate Sauce

When you finally plunk down too much money for the "fancy" sauce only to try it once and then let it go bad in the cabinet....

Torani White Chocolate Sauce

I don't even remember when I bought this sauce long ago, but it was stamped "Best by July 2015". I kept walking by it in the store going "Is that coffee flavoring or is that like some kind of funky sundae sauce?" Eventually I just gave in and threw it in the cart.

I don't even remember when I first opened this, it was months ago, but I think the coloring threw me off more than anything. Why does it look like caramel if it's white chocolate? I didn't really get it then and I certainly don't get it now. When I actually tried the flavoring and I just didn't get it. So I let it sit.... for oh so long.

I guess my point is that don't expect some magic white elixir to come pouring out of this fancy looking container. That said, if you've tried this or any other Torani flavor, let us know. Oh, and if I'm an idiot for putting this on ice cream instead of coffee, you can tell me that too.

Dannon OIKOS Cookies & Cream Greek Frozen Yogurt

[2015-2016] Alright, our next review subject has been sitting in the freezer for... iunno, 4 months maybe? I bought it because I was having trouble getting in the mood for his minty cousin (which has been sitting in the freezer for like 7 months now). Well, I went downstairs to grab some Ben & Jerry's but instead I grabbed.....

Archer Farms Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

[2015-2016] So the new Target gelatos and ice creams were on sale for 2 for $5 and since it was a Friday afternoon, I couldn't help but think that chocolate would be the right choice.

Hershey's Royal Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream

[By Nick, limited 2014, full time 2015] I feel as if red velvet cake's trendiness has come to an end. ‎I can't think of too many food companies offering new red velvet products this year outside of the ones around Valentine's Day. That didn't stop Hershey's from turning their limited edition Royal Red Velvet Cake flavor from last year into a permanent flavor this year.

Friendly's Black Raspberry Krunch Sundae Cone

[New for 2015] I do love my ice cream cones, and Friendly's makes my favorite black raspberry ice cream (because it's so sweet), so this should be an easy win.

Perry's Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2015] A few weeks ago, Perry's ice cream posted their newest flavor to social media: Gingerbread Cookie. Nick called dibs as soon as he saw it but I must admit, the icing swirl was calling my name as well. Thankfully we don't have to fight over it because Perry's was nice enough to send both of us samples. Enough of pumpkin, let's dig in to a rare gingerbread flavor!

Friendly's Color Me Vanilla Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2015] Just the other day, Nick was telling me that Friendly's has come out with a few new things including two limited edition flavors. Keep your eyes open for Eggnog and....

Whole Foods Caramel & Sea Salt Italian Gelato

[By Nick] Well we covered Whole Food's store brand ice cream in both pints and half gallons. Now it's time to check out their line of gelato!

The Nosh Show Episode 65

The Nosh Show Episode 65 is live... though I must warn you that this is the Eric-lite version. Yes, his mighty streak of never missing an episode is broken, but have no fears, he'll be back for episode 66... which reminds me, do you guys think we should do another candy draft? I've got several ideas to keep things interesting, but it's not locked in yet and there's definitely time to get your thoughts in before it happens.

Anyway, so Episode 65 is live and one of the things we talk about is pumpkin spice cookie butter. That's right, the ever growing world of cookie butter crashes in to the world of ever growing PSL. One can only imagine what next year will hold in store as both of these trends go crazy. I also talk about my fondness for those Ruffles All Dressed potato chips. The bold mix of ketchup, vinegar and bbq is something I did not expect to like but was pleasantly surprised at how well they went in to the form factor of a Ruffles potato chip. We also talk about the latest from Ben & Jerry's so thanks to Bob for the heads up before the show.

Alright, it's late, have a good week everyone!

P.S. Have you noticed that as soon as October 1st hit, Christmas (Holiday) products started showing? Both Friendly's and Edy's (Dreyer's) are back with their peppermint offerings already. With those repeats popping up, I'm kind of curious to see how many new seasonal products will get this year, so far I only know of one.

Target Simply Balanced Cinnamon Ice Cream

[2015-2016] Now today's flavor has been sitting in my freezer since I tried Archer Farms Strawberry Blondie. I know I should have tried it sooner but the mood just never hit. I made the mistake of buying the most unique of the new flavors, but when you do that, you risk not actually wanting it for awhile. Well, it's kind of late and instead of eating a really dense ice cream, let's go with something that is only 65g per serving (and kind of feels like an empty pint).

Coolhaus Renzo Apple Pie-Ano Ice Cream Sandwich

[By Nick] It's October 1st which to me means it's officially apple picking season! Oh how I love living in Upstate, NY with all of our apple orchards. If you've never bitten into a freshly picked apple, you haven't lived. Now while this Coolhaus sandwich can't be picked from a tree, you can pick it straight from a freezer near you like I did at the Niskayuna Co-op.
