Nutella and Kinder Bueno in the Freezer Aisle


[New for Early 2026] Hannaford has been crushing the 2026 ice cream season by carrying lots of the new stuff. Among the many things I saw all the way back in mid February were these faux pints of....

Nutella Ice Cream and Kinder Bueno FDD

Describing Nutella ice cream as "Ice Cream with Nutella" is both very amusing and also kind of frustrating. Tell me what the ice cream tastes like! Ok, the press release says "the unmistakable taste of Nutella with swirls of Nutella", so I'm thinking they both taste like Nutella.

Kinder Bueno is hazelnut flavored frozen dairy dessert with nutty filling and cookie crunch. That does sound found despite being frozen dairy dessert.

Nutella is 330 cals per 2/3 cup serving and Kinder Bueno is 340 cals, so very close despite one being frozen dairy dessert and one being ice cream.

These flavors don't just come in faux pints either....


I was at Price Chopper on Wednesday when I saw the kinder bueno cones. The box says they are hazelnut flavored frozen dairy dessert with nutty core and topping in a sugar cone. 220 calories per 3.04 fluid oz cone.

There was also a spot on the shelves for the new Nutella cones as well. Similar to the pint, the description is "ice cream with Nutella in a sugar cone". They clock in at 250 calories per 3.04 fluid oz cone.

Now I probably won't be trying any of these any time soon, but a buddy of mine did try the kinder bueno "pint" and said "it's heavy on the hazelnuts".

Will you try these or have you tried them? As always, feel free to leave a comment!

Note: These are made by Wells (the Blue Bunny people) because Wells, Kinder, and Nutella are all owned by Ferrero these days.

Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches


[New for Early 2026] When I went back to Hannaford to pick up the Cosmic Brownies ice cream sandwiches, I had a hard time figuring out where they put all the Little Debbie stuff. On my third pass, I noticed them hiding way down at the bottom shelf and laying flat (was someone trying to hide them?) So I see the brownies and the bars, but am confused why the one bar box is way bigger than I remember. I pull it from the bottom shelf and discover...

[New for Early 2026] Too apparently many people's surprise, I actually found the two new Little Debbie treats way back in mid February at my local Hannaford. I should have know that people were waiting to see these! Well, let's wait no longer for....

Hudsonville Brownie Sundae Ice Cream


[New for Early 2026] My apologies to Hudsonville Ice Cream, I didn't realize that it had been so long since I bought a container of their ice cream. I'm going to try and rectify the lack of Hudsonville on the blog this year. Let's start with one of their three new big container flavors...

Ben & Jerry's Mocha Mood Pie Sundae


[New for Early 2026] Ever since I saw the chocolate coffee brownie Haagen-Dazs flavor at Shaw's, I've had this weird craving for coffee ice cream. It's a good thing I didn't buy the H-D because it left plenty of craving around for me to try....

Ice Cream For Bears - Churro y Burrow


[New for 2025] I stumbled on the Ice Cream for Bears website several months ago (I think I was checking ice cream news at the time). The holiday season made me forget about it, but while visiting the new Big Y grocery store, what do I see but an entire shelf of ice cream for bears (faux) pints. Seven of their eleven flavors. Regularly $7.99 but on sale $6.49. Oh geez, where to start? I think I'll grab...

Ice Cream Factory Gooey Butter Cake


Remember last year when I asked "Is the Ice Cream Factory good?", well, I finally have an answer for you after finding this 3/4 pint buried in my basement freezer. When I went to grab one of the new Ben & Jerry's sundae pints from that freezer, I suddenly got the urge for...
