Besides my disappointing weekly grocery run, I did sneak a quick peek at my
local Wegman's and Stop & Shop freezer aisles this week. Yeah, nothing
new. I suspect it will be at least a few more weeks before I find anything
exciting. So, let's check on news from the web!
Probably the biggest news so far is that Ben & Jerry's Topped has
come to the U.S.! I've seen these on some European instagram accounts for a few years now so it's
about time that we got them too. (my quick internet research shows that the
U.K. got these in 2017). I'm sure some will see this as just a gimmick, but you
know I love me a good #funfactor. I think I'd probably start with
PB Over the Top (review here) or Salted Caramel Brownie and end with
Whisky Biz.
Ben & Jerry's also has new non-dairy flavors: Americone Dream, Phish Food and Karamel Sutra Core (wow, a non-dairy core flavor!). All are almond milk based. I should probably include the recent Colin Kaepernick's Change the Whirled which is sunbutter based.
I'm a pretty big fan of the Gelato Layers lineup so I definitely approve of
these four new flavors. Plus, they all sound good to me: confetti cookie (review here),
strawberry shortcake, cookies & cream, and chocolate pretzel. For good
measure, we'll also get two new gelato flavors: honey graham and vanilla
peanut butter swirl. Doesn't it feel like we've seen vanilla peanut butter swirl before? But we
haven't. You can
check my list
to verify.
The new Magnum Double Red Velvet tub should be fund. We'll also be greeted by
three new truffle bars. Two mini truffle bars (dark chocolate and berry) and
full size double chocolate vanilla. The truffle description isn't super
specific... I thought they might have a soft shell but the website says it's
still a cracking shell.
In their grouped PR release, Klondike adds Wake Me Up Coffee Donuts
(with 3 flavors from 2020, there are now 4 in all).
That said, they have also released Klondike Cones! (not to be
confused with Klondike Kones) and Klondike Shakes (vanilla and
chocolate). The cones come in two packs: (Unicorn Dreamin' and Vanilla
Chillin'), (Nuts for Vanilla and Classic Chocolate), and (Double Down
Chocolate and Classic Chocolate). Note: while not officially listed on their
website, there appears to be a small image for a combo pack that includes a
strawberry flavor and a vanilla flavor.
Will we see anything from Edy's or Dreyer's? Probably not. Yes! The Rocky Road collection is coming! Also, on the made by them but not listed as them, we will
get Fruity Pebbles & Cocoa Pebbles ice creams as well
as a Funfetti ice cream. Apparently there is also a watermelon version
of the sour patch kids light ice cream coming as well.
Breyers Double Chocolate Browne Batter, Chocolate Pretzel Swirl (Feb), Reeses
snack cup, Coconut Fudge (seasonal: march-august),
almond milk (non-dairy): mint chocolate chip and chocolate chocolate chip
carb smart expansion to pints (3 new flavors + vanilla)
Good Humor Vanilla Viennetta (formerly Breyers)
Popsicle Mango, Strawberry & Vanilla Fruit Twister
Jeni's White House Chocolate Chip ice cream, Everything Bagel ice cream,
and Buttercream Birthday Cake ice cream
Snickers Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Bar (nationwide in March)
Chipwich has released a new Cookies & Cream Chipwich!
Blue Bunny Load'd Bars: this is not surprising after they gave us Load'd
Sundaes and Load'd Cones. Flavors are bunny tracks, super fudge brownie,
strawberry shortcake, and cookie dough (so similar to the cone options).
@candyhunting
posted two new Lotus Biscoff pints (one with cherries and one with banana ice
cream and chocolate chips). She has also mentioned an upcoming white chocolate
version of their ice cream bars. Will I try any of them? meh.
