Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Pint Slices

[By Nick, New for early 2017, discontinued] 

After numerous failed attempts to find something new to review besides these pint slices, I guess I'm stuck with them. Let's take at my 2nd crack into this line up.

Starburst Ice Cream Jellybeans & Nosh Show #99

Hello Nosh Show listeners! Episode 99 is ready for you! I open up with way too much ice cream talk and then a quick moment on how I do not like these new Starburst Ice Cream Jellybeans. At first I thought maybe I at least liked the lemon and orange ones, but I liked them less the more I ate of them. Thankfully my daughter enjoyed them enough that they won't go to waste!

Show Notes: I mention "Welch's grapefruit juice" but I'm pretty sure I was thinking of their passionfruit juice. I also mention my "pricing guide" but I meant my new 2017 ice cream guide (which I just added more stuff too). During the show, Marvo tries to convince me to slice up a pint of Haagen-Dazs Trio for everyone to see... so I did over on instagram. I'm a little disappointed the show didn't get named "Pre-stale Peeps" but Squirt works too.

Alright, have a good week everyone, new review tomorrow!

Ben & Jerry's Oat of this Swirled Ice Cream

[New for early 2017] I'll be honest, I don't really know which reviews to try and push out first right now. I have a wide array of stuff in the freezer and only so many calories I can consume in a day. For now I will try to keep bouncing around and in particular I wanted something that sounded like a breakfast ice cream this morning. Let's dig in to a pint of...

Haagan-Dazs Triple Chocolate Trio Ice Cream

[New for 2017, Discontinued] 

Easily one of the most fascinating ice cream advancements coming out this year is the new Trio line up from Haagan-Dazs. Billed as multiple layers of ice cream and chocolate, how can you not be excited? Maybe you don't like H-D? Nahh, that can't be it!

2017 New Frozen Product Guide

Thanks to Stop & Shop (Giant), Hannaford (Food Lion), Walmart, Target, Shaws, Roche Bros, and Price Chopper and then some internet research to back it all up, we're starting to get a clearer picture of what 2017 holds in store. Let's break it down by category this year.

At the top of the freezer aisle, we have your high end pints of ice cream. We don't really cover online (shipped to your door) type stuff on this blog, that's what instagram is for. What we focus on in this group is Ben & Jerry's, Talenti, Haagen-Dazs, and sometimes Graeters if you are lucky. Graeters doesn't put out a ton of new flavors, and I've already talked about the new Haagen-Dazs stuff here, so let's jump in to...

Edy's Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough A Light Ice Cream Review

[New for early 2017] I promised back to back reviews with similary named products again so let's see how Edy's Slow Churned takes on a Friendlys flavor of the same name.

Friendlys Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

[New for early 2017] I got a kick out of doing back to back pb fudge reviews so let's try to do it again. As you may remember, I've taken a break from Friendly's quarts for the last year due to their nonsense in the texture/density department. Well, I decided to give them a chance because I had to know what was in this pint. Will I regret my decision?

Haagen-Dazs Peanut Butter Salted Fudge Ice Cream

[New for 2017] Thanks to Stop & Shop and a few other locations, there is now a plethora of new products for me to review. I don't even know where to begin really though I might post a hunting guide this weekend so you know what to look for. Until then, let's check out the ice cream version of the flavor I reviewed yesterday.

Talenti Peanut Butter Fudge Sorbetto #45

[New for early 2017] Spying a new pint of Talenti always brings a certain joy to my heart. I know that no matter what, to some degree I will enjoy whatever flavor they present to me. As of the moment, I do not know what flavor #44 is, and Junk Banter tipped me off that 46 and 47 are vanilla blueberry crumble and vanilla chai. I don't know if we will see 48 or higher, but #45 is....

Perry's Bad Breakup Ice Cream & The Nosh Show #98

[New for February 2017] Hello Nosh Show listeners! We've got a very ice cream filled episode for you, maybe the most chilly episode ever actually. There's talk of the new Ben & Jerry's pint slices, the new Edy's slow churned cookie dough flavors (which I will start to review soon), M&M ice cream bars, and I even did a mention of.....

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pint Slice

[By Nick, New for early 2017, Discontinued] Looks like Ben & Jerry's is trying to bring something new to the novelty game but the concept doesn't excite me all that much. It's not revolutionary and at least their old novelties had some creativity to them. However, people who can't control themselves around a pint now have a portioned control version of B&J's that doesn't come in a ridiculously small cup. Dubba has already covered the Peanut Butter Cup one and is planning on reviewing the Americone Dream version as well. That leaves me with Chocolate Fudge Brownie and...

M&M Ice Cream Bars

[New for early 2017] Mars is not known for releasing a plethora of new ice cream products, but in general there seems to always be at least one new product from them. They already have several tasty ice cream bars that are based on regular candy bars, but they've mixed things up a little this year by basing the next ice cream bar on a candy that doesn't have a bar form.

Ben & Jerry's Truffle Kerfuffle Ice Cream

[New for early 2017] Looks like Ben & Jerry's is going to be first to put new pints on the shelves this year, though I suspect new Haagen-Dazs isn't far behind (I spotted a pint of coffee H-D sporting their new packaging design in two different stores). We know that there are at least three new flavors coming: Oat of this Swirled, Urban Bourbon, and...

Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Peanut Butter Cup Pint Slices

[New for early 2017, discontinued] Have you heard about the new Ben & Jerry's Pint Slices yet? For at least a few years now, Ben & Jerry's has talked about slicing an ice cream pint horizontally and then sticking those slices between cookies for some fun ice cream sandwich action, but what if they made things a bit easier for us? I present to you...

Cumberland Farms Rapturous Black Raspberry Chocolate Farmhouse Ice Cream Sandwich

[New for Summer 2016] Snow had me running late yesterday and my car was running low on gas, so I pulled into Cumberland Farms to fill up me and the gas tank.
