Noosa Sea Salt Caramel Frozen Yogurt Gelato


[New for 2022] Man, these other two Noosa flavors have been sitting in the freezer forever (I think I bought them in March (of 2022)) >>> I thought maybe Noosa Gelato was going away, but after a comment from May, we now know that there at least three flavors debuting in 2023 including a Lemon Bar flavor. Well, before any more time passes, let's give a quick look at...

Ben & Jerry's Topped Bossin' Cream Pie


[New for early 2023] More Ben & Jerry's? Yup! I love me some new Ben & Jerry's flavors and that will probably never change. Up next we're going to cover one of the two new topped flavors I found at Hannaford. Mousse Pie may have been a bum pint, but this one is not.

DQ Under the Rainbow Shake


[New for February 2023, back for 2024] During our Sunday adventures, we did manage to stop by DQ for a lunchtime snack. I didn't get a blizzard, but I did get a....

Talenti Double Cookie Crunch Dairy-Free Gelato


[New for Early 2023] Talenti has always had dairy-free options via their sorbetto options, though it wasn't until 2018 that they started calling them "dairy free sorbetto". Things are changing again in 2023. With Unilever as their parent company, they are joining their frozen treat siblings (like Ben & Jerry's and Breyers) by offering dairy alternatives. Two of them use cashew butter, and the other two are using oat milk. I won't be bringing the cashew butter ones home, so let's try....

Ben & Jerry's Mousse Pie Ice Cream


Update from Summer 2023: I bought another pint of this one and had a much better experience, so please keep that in mind when reading the original review that involved a so-so pint.

[New for Early 2023] More New Ben & Jerry's?! Yup! I was hoping Hannaford might have something new for me and I wound up finding five new pints of newness (3 B&J's and two Talenti). I haven't had a good chocolate flavor in a bit, so let's dive in to....

Ben & Jerry's Lights! Caramel! ACTION! Ice Cream


[New for Early 2023] I did mention finding both flavors, and after the bit of spiciness with Churray for Churros!, I was looking for something a bit more tame.

Ben & Jerry's Churray for Churros! Ice Cream


[New for Early 2023] Well, it didn't take very long to go from wanting the two new Ben & Jerry's flavor to finding them at Whole Foods (per my bud Eric's suggestion)

Dairy Queen Triple Truffle Blizzard


[New for Feb 2023] Doh! I went to DQ on Monday and totally forgot to post about it. Sorry about that. This one is the February Blizzard of the Month and it definitely carries some Valentine's Day vibes in the branding. I haven't had anything nutty in awhile, so fingers crossed that it's good.
