[New for 2026] I almost forgot that I had more new ice cream bars to try, but then the other day I was dying for a chocolate fix, so I bought the pint and bar version of....
Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Bars
chocolate ice cream with fudge brownies, dipped in a chocolatey coating with chocolate cookie pieces
Looking tasty!
(not the greatest shot, but you get the idea)
Disclaimer: I'm not worried about this bar being bad, I'm just curious how good it will be.
Time for my triple chocolate fix... wait, technically this is a quadruple chocolate fix... mmmm, good times ahead!
I take a bite and I like it.
I take a few more bites and notice that the brownies can be a bit chewy, but I guess that makes sense because the brownies can be chewy in the pint version too.
Honestly, when I was eating the pint version, I had kind of forgotten how chewy Greystone Bakery brownies can be in Ben & Jerry's ice cream. It's not all of them mind you, just sometimes.... wait, fact check me here. Have B&J's brownie chunks gotten smaller in size over time? The more I think about it, the more I remember them being bigger and more consistently chewy.
Anyway, the bar is good of course. It's a lot of chocolate and there's nothing wrong with that. Also, to be clear, there isn't a dark chocolate vibe here, it's just regular chocolate.
I don't know if it necessarily amuses me as much as the uniqueness of the caramel blondie bar, but it's a solid offering. No complaints. Give them a try if you haven't already.
On Second Scoop: I didn't really notice chewy brownies this time.... Maybe I should eat another... but it's easier to steal a few bites from the pint rather than unwrap a whole bar.... ok, maybe tomorrow.... ok, I may have smashed the last two bars in to some Hudsonville cherry ice cream. What a great combo that brings both the cherry and the richness of the chocolate to life. Fun times.
Verdict? Chocolate fix!
Buy Again? Probably!

Well, I hadn't tried this flavor yet, but the mention of chewy brownies has added it to my shopping list. I did try two others, peanut butter pretzel and caramel blondie. The peanut butter pretzel flavor is wildly good. It's got juuuust the right amount of salt. The caramel blondie one comes close, but it doesn't have that hint of saltiness in the pretzel/PB to resist it. We'll see if chocolate fudge brownie bars can top them...
ReplyDeleteI've talked about my love of chewy brownies in ice cream before, so this is right up my alley! Thank you for the review.
