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...

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.

Nestle Red, White & Blueberry Drumstick

[Walmart Limited Edition for 2026] I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I miss real Drumsticks. They were a goto for me in the 200X years and definitely a more frequent guest during the first five years of this blog. The last non-traditional Drumstick review was in 2024 (the slurpee version) and then the last time I had an official, coated Drumstick was way back in 2015 (the butterfinger version). 

That's kind of crazy if you think about it. How did they go from being one of my favorite treats to nothingness? I blame the food science that is frozen dairy dessert. I do get tempted every year to bring a new box home, and then, finally, one day at Walmart not so long ago, I saw this eye catching box and decided to bring home...

New Candy Bar Ice Creams from Wells

[Announced Early 2025] You know how I mentioned an 18th anniversary post on Instagram? Well, this is what I posted. 18 ice cream bars for 18 years of blogging courtesy of the marketing team for Wells Enterprises (aka Blue Bunny). They didn't send it for that reason, but funny coincidence right? Ok, let's get these opened up!

DQ Choco Frosted Donut Blizzard

[New for May 2026] It's been a while since we hit DQ at the beginning of the month rather than towards the end, and honestly, we wouldn't have rushed back unless I hadnt seen that the new blizzard is the...
