Blue Chip Creamery Life is Short(cake)

I've been mixing Market Basket back into my grocery trips and while I tend not to buy ice cream there (because people love leaving the doors open there), I couldn't help but buy a....

Jeni's Frosted Sugar Cookie Ice Cream

[New for 4/14/2026] I knew I wanted to bring back something different from the grocery stores today, but who knew which lone pint would be worthy of the "swell" ride home (aka in the pint cooler). Wegman's? tempting but no. Price Chopper? Nah. Whole Foods? Ok, we have a few options... wait, these Jeni's pints say new. I don't know if they are new new, but I need to buy one of those, right? Ok, let's bring home a $8.99 pint of....

Whole Foods C&C Sandwiches

This is one of those products that seems like it should be an easy win, but for whatever reason, gets lost in the freezer... and when I say lost, I mean LOST. Like bought in early 2025 and then finally tossed months ago in 2026 lost. Why do I do that? Well, I know why, it's because the basement freezer is a mess. Maybe 2027 will be better..... until then, let me show you what once was:

Hot Pockets Apple Pie Snack Breaks

[New for 2026] I'm not 100% sure when my local Walmart started carrying the new Hot Pockets Snack Breaks, but I finally went by them slow enough to notice the apple pie version. Looking back, I do remember seeing the social media posts for this in the blue packaging, but I had totally forgotten about them until now. For $1.47, let's try a....

Aldi Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2026] I don't do much shopping at Aldi because it's (A) not convenient and (B) often cross contaminated. That said, I did want to see those two new fun pints that @candyhunting and others posted, so we ran in to grab a photo the other day. To my surprise, no cross contamination (that I noticed at the time!), and at $3.29 a pint, why not bring home....

Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars

[New for 2026] Time to try the fourth of five new 2026 ice cream bars from Ben & Jerry's, though, some of us very vaguely remember them making a cookie dough bar at the beginning of this millenia. Anyway, we know this should be tasty, but let's dive into a box of....

DQ Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzard

[New for Aug 31, 2026] Why this blizzard debuted on Monday the 31st rather than Tuesday the 1st, I do not know, but when we saw the advertisement during our last DQ visit, we knew we would be back. Let me introduce you to the.....

Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt "Pints"

[New > Exclusive for Target in Oct 2025, now available elsewhere in 2026] 

Wait, in some weird fluke pattern, I appears that I do one Yasso review every six years, and it's always August. That's too funny!

Anyway, it still always surprises at how much the freezer aisle froyo market just disappeared. On the one hand, it was never amazing, but on the other hand, there were solid offering out there.

Keeping the Greek froyo dream alive (in the US) is Yasso. They've managed to stay viable by diversifying. Currently, they have 13 regular bars, 7 chocolate coated bars, 4 poppables, 3 sandwiches, and now the new (faux) pints and cups. First, let me show you the four flavors I didn't buy...

DQ Caramel Apple Cheesecake Blizzard

[New for August 2026] Geez, DQ is busting out five new blizzard flavors in the span of 3 months? That's pretty cool right, especially considering that the last 3 three new blizzards I tried were all pretty meh. Anyway, I've got four options to try, but I thinking I'm going to go with the brandy new August blizzard of the month...

Muddy Bites Salted Caramel Shortbread Cookie Cones

[New for 2026] Why yes, I do have one more Muddy Bites review for you that has been in the cabinet for several weeks.... actually should probably say months now..... let's open a bag of....

Canton Creamery Cookie Dough M&M

Who is Canton Creamery? Well, for starters, it's Canton, CT, not Canton, MA, and this is their website (which could use a bit of work to be honest). They are available at Big Y stores, which is where I found me a pint of....

Happy (Belated) National Ice Cream Day

I first mentioned Flannel Cow Creamery back in July 2024 after a glowing recommendation from my coworker. Since then, it has become our favorite place to get ice cream (despite being a solid 45+ minutes from home). 

Well, it was National Ice Cream Day yesterday, so we headed out to the momentarily unbusy Flannel Cow and tried...

Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Key Lime Pie

[New for 2026] While doublechecking that my local scoop shop still had the new Black raspberry flavor, I noticed the brandy new Key Lime Pie flavor! I was a big fan of the 2012 version, so why not grab a scoop of...

Jeni's Double Dough Ice Cream

[New for Summer 2023] I really do need to get more Jeni's on the blog. With price and quality differentials the way they are right now, there's no reason I cant treat myself to a pint of Jeni's now and then.

Today's review is going to be a review of what used to be a "lonely ghost" collab. That branding is gone, but who doesn't love a cookie dough ice cream that has some actual cookie dough flavoring in the base? That's the way cookie dough ice cream should be. I don't expect this one to disappoint, so let's dive in to....

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Bars

[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....

Gifford's Cereal & Cream Ice Cream

[New for 2026] This is meant to be grapenut ice cream?? I bought it because I thought it was cereal inspired, but this could be better actually because I am a big fan of grapenut ice cream. If you havent tried it, you are missing out.

Muddy Bites Strawberry Roundup

[New for 2026] I love the idea of Muddy Bites even if I dont love every flavor. Also, while I often get annoyed with companies constantly trying to re-flavor a product, there are times when it makes sense, like with these new...

Muddy Bites Hot Cocoa Waffle Cone Snacks

[New for Dec 2024] I finally bought these in December 2025 (because I'm not positive that I saw them in 2024, though I did know about them). I may have then accidentally shoved them behind a bunch of cookies in the cabinet and forgot to try them. Let's finally open a bag of...

What's your favorite Cookie Monster Ice Cream?

I do mean to sprinkle in local ice cream from time to time when I think the flavor (or the visuals) are good enough to be interesting, but then a few weeks will pass and that local ice cream just melts away.... However, I was looking over the pictures from our Friday night ice cream and I was surprised how well they turned out.
