Tillamook Caramel Toffee Crunch Ice Cream

Well, I did it, I finally bought a container of Tillamook ice cream. See, Tillamook is more of a west coast thing because they are based in Oregon (farmer owned since 1909!). Their website currently lists 30 big containers of ice cream and 13 pints that are a mix of gelato, custard, and ice cream. They also have 6 ice cream sandwiches and 2 bars. In other words, they are a pretty well established company. My local options are limited, so what will I try first?

Magnum Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Tub Magnum Milk Chocolate Mocha Ice Cream Tub

[New for Fall 2018] When I saw all those grocery store websites with placeholders for the three new Magnum tubs on sunday, I should have known that they were going to be on shelves sooner than December (which is when the first four came out last year).

Perry's Heavenly Hash Ice cream

[Returning for 2018] I still have two more free samples of Perry's 100th year classics to try. Now a long time ago, I did a post about the difference between Rocky Road and Heavenly Hash because they are quite similar and I would always confuse the two. Basically HH has chocolate chips and RR does not. Simple enough right? Ok, knowing that, let's dive in to...

Ben & Jerry’s Glampfire Trail Mix Ice Cream

[By Nick, New for 2018, Target Exclusive] I sent Dubba these photos a couple of months ago when this flavor was first released. I was one of the first to find it and was so excited to be one of the first to review it. I definitely dropped the ball on this one. Ahhh life, what can you do? Better late than never, I suppose. So let’s skip the jokes about glamping and go straight into the review.

Haagen-Dazs Decadent Collection Honey Salted Caramel Almond Ice Cream

[New for 2018] Boy was I surprised when Haagen-Dazs' PR firm sent me an email saying that they had seen my instagram feed and wanted to send over some free samples of their new 2018 offerings. I've always been a big fan of theirs and jumped at the opportunity to get the new stuff a little bit early. So, without further ado, let's dive in to...

Talenti Almond Butter & Honey Gelato #49

[By Nick, New for 2018] The new products are coming! The new products are coming!! I’ve been seeing Dubba post about all the new stuff showing up on shelves this year but haven’t had any luck finding any of them. Until recently, I first found the new Magnum Ice Cream tubs which was pretty exciting. What was more exciting was finding this guy hiding in a sea of Haagen Dazs.

Coolhaus Sunday Fundae Ice Cream

Time to continue with the free samples from Coolhaus. Only one of their current flavors has any kind of nuts in it, so this one is going to be a work snack:

Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Almond Ice Cream

[New for 2017] There was a bit of a delay getting this next review to you because Albertson's (who owns my local Shaws Supermarkets) decided they wanted to get in the exclusive flavor game this year. I don't really know how these things get decided though I assume it involves money.... anyway, I finally managed to snag a pint on the way to work, so let's dig in to....

Graeter's Toffee Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

For Christmas, my in laws decided to surprise me with a delivery of the holiday pack from Graeter's ice cream. It is a six pint pack that comes with cinnamon, eggnog, peppermint stick, vanilla, black raspberry chocolate chip and...

Ben & Jerry's P.B. & Cookies Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

[New for 2016] Since Nick lost his camera cable and I can't remember to send him the extra one I have, it looks like I need to review one of the new Ben & Jerry's non-dairy pints on my own. It's not like I didn't want some first hand experience with them anyway.

Gelato Fiasco Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Gelato

[New for June 2015] Of the three new flavors Gelato Fiasco sent to me and Nick, this will be the only one I take the lead on since Nick does most of our coffee reviews and he's got something in store next weekend for the excellent sriracha flavor they sent over.

Ben & Jerry's Roasted & Toasted Ice Cream

[By Nick, New for 2015] We've known about this flavor before I left to go tour Ben & Jerry's facilities in March but my Wal-Mart just finally started stocking it. So without further ado, I give to you Ben & Jerry's latest Wal-Mart exclusive flavor.

Haagen-Daz Artisan Collection Applewood Smoked Caramel Almond Ice Cream

[for 2015 only, "Regional"] Well look what someone just put out on the freezer shelf! The elusive "regional" piece to the new H-D artisan collection line up. Granted I wish I would have found this last week when I had my $2 off coupon, but hey, it's now 2 for $7 and I know what I'm having for second lunch today. Sure the word smoked scares me a little but let's dig in to...

Stewart's Espresso Therapy Ice Cream

[By Nick] Two reviews of products with the word "espresso" in their name in a week? It must be midterm season for me. I've been meaning to review more flavors from Stewart's so let's get right into this one.

Pierre's Holé Molé and Croppy Road Ice Creams

[By Nick, New for end of 2014] When Pierre's offered to send samples of their new collaboration flavors with Crop Bistro, Hole Mole and Croppy Road, I was all over them. I mean, Dubba hates spicy so we all know Hole Mole wouldn't be for him. Croppy Road has a smokey caramel swirl and after my experience with Tea-riffic, I feel obligated to review all smokey flavors from here on out... for science. Let's go with Hole Mole first just because toffee is involved.

Tea-rrific Brown Butter Sticky Toffee Ice Cream

[By Nick, New for 2014] ‎I'm going to start this review off by saying that I'm not a fan of tea at all. Never have I liked it and I doubt that'll change anytime soon. All that said, when I heard Tea-rrific was making a limited edition toffee flavor, I knew I had to try it. It is currently a Whole Foods exclusive and lucky for me they were sampling it at my local Whole Foods a couple weeks ago.

Belfonte Spumoni Ice Cream

[By Nick] ‎I'd like to start this review by apologizing to Belfonte. They sent me three free containers of ice cream right before I started to move and they never made it with me for some odd reason. Thankfully after a recent trip to visit family, I was able to recover these containers and brought them to their proper home. Now without a further ado, let's look at a flavor I don't think we've ever reviewed on the blog before.

Cold Stone Creamery Mud Pie Mojo Signature Creation

[By Nick] With my recent move away from the middle of nowhere, I now find myself with a lot of awesome food places within a reasonable distance. For example, Cold Stone Creamery. Now I've been to Coldstone a few times in my life and I know all about making my own combination of stuff. Seeing as a lot of people opt to just go with one of their Signature Creations, I thought why not start reviewing them for the site? I mean a lot of them sound awesome but the one that stood out to me the most was their Mudpie Mojo.
