Vanilla cake batter ice cream, thick chunks of buttercream icing with some sprinkles thrown in for good measure. B&J didnt need to add the raspberry.

This is my favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor since What a Cluster, which I can't find anymore. The cake was so chewy and delicious, perfectly complemented by the frosting swirl. The raspberry was not overpowering to me at all, I barely tasted it, but when I did it was good. Thanks for the reviews dubba.

But that's a tangent).<br /><br />Couldn't really make out the buttercream frosting from the sweet cream (whatever it was, the base ice cream was good but didn't stand out); I thought it might have been some of the swirls that looked a lighter brown, but that still tasted like raspberry, as did every bite of this container. I was hoping to be able to find some non-raspberry parts (it is listed last in the description) but had no luck; the raspberry tasted like what I expected, though I am neither a connoisseur nor huge fan of raspberry (I bought the ice cream because I like to try the limited flavors). Cake was dry but didn't leave me parched, as some cake pieces from other brands have.<br /><br />The raspberry was a little sweet, but I didn't find this flavor that much (if any) sweeter compared to my favorites like Cinnamon Buns or Spectacular Speculoos; maybe it stands out more if you are more used to B&J's chocolate ice cream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-29192195242495615342016-02-08T10:20:54.425-05:002016-02-08T10:20:54.425-05:00Yeah, Stop&Shop has been heavy handed with the...Yeah, Stop&Shop has been heavy handed with the "discontinued" tag it seems.

So I just got four B and J and one Breyers for $12! That is 250 for the B and J and 2 for Breyers after the five is taken off because they are marked down to 350 and 300, respectively. <br /><br />Noticed they are discontinuing the Breyers black raspberry choco chip and Samoas and extra creamy chocolate. I got the chocolate truffle...one of the few ice creams they still make. And B and J, one NYSFC, one chunky monkey, one cookie dough,mine brownie batter. May have to go back and do the deal again!<br /><br />Enjoy!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569544046634558629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-58497313018739504602016-01-28T17:12:15.151-05:002016-01-28T17:12:15.151-05:00@Anon: look up "Go ahead, make my day" o...@Anon: look up "Go ahead, make my day" on youtube :)Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-31527979348315314782016-01-28T16:49:32.421-05:002016-01-28T16:49:32.421-05:00Looks like a good flavor, but for whatever reason ...Looks like a good flavor, but for whatever reason I hate the term 'cake day'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-79784119314277820182016-01-28T13:59:21.689-05:002016-01-28T13:59:21.689-05:00For those with a bigger sweet tooth than you?
