Haagen-Dazs Cherry Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bars

[New for Early 2026] Besides the new mini dulce de leche ice cream bars, Haagen-Dazs has two new full size bars on the market this year. Since the Toasted Coconut Crunch bar isn't my thing, let's pick up a box of....

Haagen-Dazs Dark Cherry Truffle Ice Cream

[New for Early 2026] There are three new HD pints this year, but two have nuts (Peanut Butter Brittle and Coffee Almond Toffee), so we'll need to try those at a later date. What I can bring home is this tasty looking pint, and I dont mind that, because I do love a good cherry ice cream. Let's scoop into...

KLIMON Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

[Reformulated for 2024] Do you remember when KLIMON hit Walmart in 2022? At the time, they had 5 flavors that used an almond base, so I never brought them home to try. Well, I got an email from them a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to check out their reformulated lineup, and I thought, why not? Their 11 current flavors are made in a facility where nuts are present, but I asked for the flavors that didn't specifically contain any nuts, so they sent over....

Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Cherry Garcia

[New for 2024] Hello! Yes, it's another B&J's review, but we'll make it quick because I'm still recovering from the flu (I havent eaten ice cream in five days if you can believe it, and I'm not positive when the urge will kick back in). Anyway, let's take a quick scoop of....

News: Little Debbie Holiday flavors

[New for 2023] Hudsonville keeps pushing out more and more of these Little Debbie flavors, though technically I probably should have thrown these in to the other holiday post!

Little Debbie Christmas Ice Creams

Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes : chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake pieces and holiday sprinkles

Cherry Cordials : cherry-flavored ice cream with cookie pieces, chocolatey flakes and a cherry swirl

Christmas Tree Cakes : white cake-flavored ice cream with yellow cake pieces, green sanding sugar and a red icing swirl

I wouldn't expect a lot at under $3 a pint, but hey, fun is fun right? If you try these, let me know what you think. Until next time!

Friendly's Unicorn Power Ice Cream

[New for 2022] I can't believe I bought this ice cream. I almost never buy friendly's nowadays, plus it has a sour swirl, and I don't do sour, but you know what? It was only $2.50!

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Crumble Ice Cream

[Limited Edition for 2022] Chris tipped me off to another new Ben & Jerry's flavor, and it seemed right up my alley. Yes, I love chocolate ice creams and ice creams with chocolate, but the reality is that most days I tend to pick something non-chocolatey. So I was pretty stoked when I found this at Hannaford:

Talenti Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Gelato Layers

I'm not sure why, but I thought I had already tried this one (because I had tried it in 2019!). I'm pretty sure I've walked by it a few times and totally spaced on needing to try it. Well, I'm at Stop & Shop and nothing else has my attention right now, so let's dive in to...  a flavor a tried two years ago. Oh geez, sorry everyone.

Friendly's I Cannot Tell a Lie Cherry Pie Ice Cream

[Limited Edition for Early 2020] Pickings are slim when you only go to the grocery store once a week, and my local walmart has been consistently wiped out. However, those stocking up seem a little hesitant to grab something new which means I get to try....

Serendipity Very Cherry Chunk Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2019, faded away] Time to dig in to the second of the new Serendipity flavors (provided courtesy of their PR firm). I don't scoop cherry ice cream that often, but I do enjoy it when it's executed well. Let's see if this one can stand out from the crowd.

Talenti Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Gelato Layers

[New for 2019] Wow, can't believe it's time for my fourth layered Talenti review already. (random story: I was at the store today and I overheard a conversation where the kid wanted to buy one of these but the dad was like "let's try the less sugar version". so embarrassing, hehehe.)

Gelato Fiasco Deep Maine Woods Brownie Gelato

[New for 2019] Let me start with a solemn goodbye to the original "Deep Maine Woods" gelato that only survived for one year. Do not despair too much because it's successor is already here, and it has traded it's smokey caramel and honeycomb bits for an array of other mix-ins.

Ben & Jerry's Sweet Like Sugar Cookie Dough Core

[New for 2019, Disc] Time to try the second of 3 new Ben & Jerry's cookie dough cores. No Bake was a bit grittier and less sweet than I expected, but here's hoping this one is a bit more fun.

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Pint Slices

[New for 2018, Discontinued] As much as I love ice cream, I do admit that there are times where I am more interested in cataloging something instead of eating it. Take these pint slices for example. I never doubted that they would be tasty so I just never had an overwhelming urge to try them (especially since I bought them right before reducing my chocolate intake by 94%). I guess what I am trying to say is... do you ever buy something just for the sake of checking it off the list?

Red Dawn Monster Mutant Slurpee

Everyone knows why Deadpool's suit is red, but do you know why his Slurpee is red? Hmm, yeah, that's not funny. Better question, why is the 7-eleven website useless? I just wanted to verify if this thing has caffeine or not.. The mutant site isn't any better... ok, the regular soda has caffeine.. wait, you stopped reading already didn't you?

Red Dawn Monster Mutant Slurpee

(cherry flavored) - wait, there are four other cup designs?

I feel like I tried mutant soda at one point, but all you really need to know is that this tastes like cherry mtn dew. I mean more artificial cherry than real cherry, but that's the gist of it. I was a little scared after the first sip because I thought this was going to taste like every other fake citrus slurpee, but I did like (tolerate) it more once I had several sips in me.

Still with me? Ok, this is really just a filler post because it's quite humid and I don't feel like sitting here forever. I would like to give you an update on what's in the post pipeline (once it cools off). I just picked up the last Trio, so there's that. I would like to talk about the return of Steve's Ice Cream at some point (should probably do this next). I still have a ton of Blue Bunny stuff to cover (what they sent over as well as me picking up the Load'd Sundaes on my own dime). I also have a topping review and one more triple-filled review to do. I also just picked up another pint of Big Gay Ice Cream, and I still have the Cherry Garcia pint slices waiting, but there's not a whole lot after that. There's just not a ton of things left that I am hunting for except one other Trio'politan flavor (I've literally found it, but I need a place close to home to carry it)

The truly biggest thing I want to get done is a 2018 product guide. Yes, you could just scroll through the last 5 months of reviews, but I really want a single post that you can reference and see how you are doing in your quest to try everything 2018 has to offer. But seriously, I've let myself push this off again and again and now it's June. I don't want to give up this tradition, though if anyone wants to chime in and say it doesn't really help anymore, I am open to thoughts and comments.

P.S. Feel free to leave suggestions about what you think I haven't covered yet.

Perry's Parkerhouse Cherry Ice Cream

Time to cover the last of the 100th year classics that Perry sent over to me awhile back. The first three have been a mixed bag, so let's see what this simple sounding flavor has in store...

High Road Malt Shop Sundae Ice Cream

[By Nick] 6 years, I’ve been writing about ice cream for 6 years. Sure, it’s not in the same capacity as I used to but it’s still astonishing to say the least. Without Dubba, none of this would’ve even been possible. I went from some kid talking to him daily about new products on the market to (in my eyes) one of his best friends (or annoyances). Of course without you all, this site wouldn’t have even existed in the first place. So thank you all for your continued support not just for me but for Dubba, On Second Scoop and the frozen dessert world as a whole.

Recently High Road sent me a care package out of the blue with a bunch of their new products. I’ll never complain about free ice cream. Sadly, half the container died in transit. Thankfully, the one flavor that stood out the most to me survived the trek.

Magnum Double Cherry Truffle Ice Cream Bar

[New for 2018] So I got lucky with finding all the Magnum pints early, but have you been wondering about there being any new bars for 2018? Well, there is!

7-Eleven Pepsi Black Cherry Slurpee

[New for Jan 2017] I missed the cherry vanilla slurpee that came out last January, but I'm not missing this cherry cola one... mainly because there's a giant sign for it staring me in the face!

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Cherry Garcia Ice Cream

[Announced late 2016] For 2016, Ben & Jerry's created three flavor flips. The first two were Totally Baked and Tubby Hubby, both exclusive to scoop shoppes, but they added a pint version to the third flavor. Well, it's January now and I finally found...
