First of all, I was surprised about the fudge chunks. They were obviously thicker than flakes but they weren't as thick and rich as the chunks found in one sweet world and phish food. I think vanilla was the right choice for the base because while kind of boring alone it allows for the flavors of the mix ins to really stand out. The texture of the graham swirl was great! As far as the marshmallow was concerned, maybe it was just the pint I had, but I thought there could have been a lot more of it. Overall one of my favorites from ben n jerry's.

This feels like something I could find a version of in any store because it's so similar to S'more. Maybe they didn't want to create something so popular that it caused some weird ice cream riot?

Marshmallow and graham cracker swirls were excellent. Fudge chunks were decent, better at least than fudge flakes. <br /><br />But I think the flavor really needed a more interesting base than vanilla. I was getting bored and started digging out just the swirls halfway through. <br /><br />Marshmallow base, maybe? But even the vanilla bean or vanilla malt bases B&J have would’ve been better.<br /><br />Overall good flavor, mighty rebuy as a regular flavor but won’t be sad to see it go.KLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-27798903140955837702017-11-04T08:49:54.856-04:002017-11-04T08:49:54.856-04:00@stride: moon pie (added note to review)
