DQ Caramel Toffee Cookie Blizzard

[New for Fall 2025]  We've been putting most of our energy in to trying all of the cool local places in Worcester County (and beyond), but there is a new blizzard on the menu, so let's order a....

New City Microcreamery Tres Leche Ice Cream

Almost 8 years ago, my in-laws surprised me with an ice cream pie from New City Microcreamery (review here). The plan was to visit one of their scoop shops, but we never did. At some point, their faux pints started showing up in stores, and still I did not try them (we'll blame location). Well, after all this time, I finally decided to try "the best in the world". That's a pretty bold statement...

Ben & Jerry's Fudgy Flan Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2025] When I ran to Walmart for a few things before a day trip on Monday, I never expected to see something new. Not only is it new, but it maybe it'll even be different enough to get your attention. Lets dive in to....

McConnell's Sweet Cream Caramel Brownie Ice Cream

I know my street cred has always been lacking a proper pint of the well regarded McConnell's in the mix, but that ends today! I splurged on an $8 pint from Wegman's so that I could test my Swell Ice Cream Chiller. Well, it brought the pint home safe and sound. Time to try....

Wendy's Caramel Vanilla Frosty Swirl

[New for April 2025] I know I've gotten terrible with keeping up with fast food releases, but the opportunity arose to check out the new frosty swirl lineup, so I grabbed...

Fat Boy Churro Sandwich

[New for 2025] ...whoa, I just wrote "New for 2025".... crazy....  but yeah, I'm actually pretty stoked to be ice cream hunting this year. The last few years have been pretty boring, and I know I'm not going to enjoy everything headed our way, but it just feels more....   normal? We're supposed to get wound up for a new ice cream season in January. It's kind of a lost tradition. So, knowing that my local Shaw's had already started clearing shelf space, I ran to see what I could find early in the morning, and yeah, I found one of the things that I was most excited for!

Tillamook Salty Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream

[New for Dec 2024] More new Tillamook! Woohoo! I'm pretty sure that I'm going to continue to eat a lot of Tillamook ice cream in 2025. Let's scoop in to....

Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge

[New for 1994] Whenever there is a big sale on Ben & Jerry's, I like to treat myself to a pint or two of the good stuff. I might pick up one of my current favorites, or I might pick up something that I haven't had in forever so that I can take new pictures and add a quick update to an old review (here is a random example). Well when I picked up this pint well over a month ago, I didn't realize that I had never had it on the blog before... like, seriously, how has this 30 year old ice cream not been on the blog?

Friendly's Caramel Waffle Cone Ice Cream Bars

[New for 2024] To be honest, based on Friendly's current lineup, I'm not expecting much from these bars. Last year's ice cream bars were ok, but not so good that they would force me to try these... but I do need me a mowing snack, so let's crack open a box of....

Edy's Churro Caramel Crossroads Ice Cream

[New for Early 2023] Oh Edy's (Dreyer's), how little you effect my life these days. It's just hard to keep them in mind when I just don't see them that much now, and if I do, it's usually just a handful of standard flavors. The only thing really going on with them is the rocky road collection, and I don't see much of that around here. However, Market Basket does have them from time to time, so, let's take a scoop of...

Blue Bunny Stuffed Puffs Salted Caramel S'mores Sandwiches

[New for 2023] The classic s'mores version of these wound up winning me over, so it was just a matter of time before I gave these a try too. Let's see if we have a winner here.

News: Ben & Jerry's Pecan Pie Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2023] I wander through the freezer aisle every time I go to a grocery store, but the reality is that I rarely find anything new. Well, today was a happy exception to that.

Ben & Jerry's Pecan Pie Ice Cream

buttery ice cream with pecans, pie crust pieces & thick caramel swirls

It's limited batch and this was at Walmart, but it's also been spied at Target. I can't imagine this isn't tasty, and it's definitely more my speed then their Bourbon Pecan Pie ice cream from 2015.

That said, this current version features buttery ice cream while the old Southern Pecan Pie version used a brown sugar ice cream. Mmmmmm. I'm sorry I missed that.

Anyway, I'm not sure if or when I will get to try this, so I'm relying on you to find it and report back with your thoughts. Happy ice cream hunting!

DQ Caramel Fudge Cheesecake Blizzard

[New for 2022] Yes, we are back at DQ! Wait, that probably doesn't make sense unless I mentioned that we were there a week before to get the always enjoyable, annual pumpkin pie blizzard fix. Anyway, we went back to try a blizzard that actually debuted last year.

Magnum Double Gold Caramel Ice Cream Bars

[New for 2023] With Magnum tubs fading in to obscurity (only 3 flavors left here in the states), that means that this Magnum product is probably the only new thing I can cover... and yeah, I may have bought this like six+ months ago and forgot about it. Whoops.

Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor at Walmart

[New for Mid 2023] Have you seen the Netflix Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor "Pints" pop up at Walmart or in your social media feed yet? I'm guessing you have, but if not, here they are! The question is, do you know me well enough to know which flavor I tried first?

Cold Case Medellin Madness Ice Cream

Hey everyone, it's question time. Pineapple or licorice in an ice cream flavor can be pretty strange, but having them in the same pint can only end badly right?

Cold Case Ice Cream: Medellin Madness

Cold Case Ice Cream

A few weeks ago, I got an email from the marketing firm for Cold Case Ice Cream (website). I had never heard of them, but it only took a moment of looking at their website for me to realize that I needed to accept their offer and see what their delicious looking flavors were all about.

Ice Cream Machine Co

We were hanging around northeast Rhode Island when we decided to grab ice cream for lunch (because ice cream). We've been trying to explore more local places, so we decided to give the Ice Cream Machine Company in Cumberland, RI a try. Wanting something fancy and filling to try, we decided to give their Blondie Brownie sundaes a try (cost was $7.95 a piece).

Talenti Cookies and Cream Gelato Layers

[New for 2021] So apparently I never tried this flavor, which is a shame, because it's pretty good, especially when you get all five layers on your spoon (people say this isn't possible, but I do it all the time). Alright, let's quickly run through...
