[New for Early 2026] I don't usually get my ice cream from Market Basket because their stuff is usually freezerburned (like the new Entenmann's flavor from Turkey Hill). That said, when I walked by these, I wasn't about to not bring them home.

Ben & Jerry's Caramel Blondie Ice Cream Bars

I take my first small bite and I was not expecting to get hit with the saltiness. It's not super strong, but it's definitely going to catch some people off-guard.

Every bite is busy, so it's fairly easy to take smaller bites and just try to enjoy the very nice flavor that this bar generates.
Salt is certainly a factor, probably the thing that will distract you the most, but the caramel adds to a nice flavor, and the cookie pieces are what really help round things out.
As a disclaimer, a single bar is only 6% of your daily sodium.
Easy win here. No one is surprised. Salty + shell + ice cream flavor and texture + cookie bits for a third texture = a nice bar. I worry that the saltiness is going to prevent me from buying more boxes, but let's see how this box grows on me first.
On Second Scoop: I think these were even better the second time, and my wife is a fan now too. I didn't really think of individual flavors this time, I just enjoyed how everything came together. I am definitely buying these again.
Final note: the only minor downside to these is that they are small, but let me teach you the trick that I taught my wife. Just smash a bar into some mainstream vanilla ice cream. You still get plenty of flavor, and you still get the crunch, but now your snack lasts longer.
Verdict? very tasty
Buy Again?yup! we've gone through a half dozen boxes already.
Buy Again?
