Ben & Jerry’s Honey Graham Latte Ice Cream

[New for Spring 2026] No, coffee ice cream is not my thing, but when you put honey graham in the name, I couldn't help but grab a pint of....

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...

Kellogg's Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwiches

[New for 2025] It's kind of funny how often these are NOT in stock at Walmart. Occasionally I'll see a few boxes of strawberry or cinnamon, but I have yet to see the chocolate version. Alright, I've put off trying these long enough, let's open....

Shake Shack Shakes

[Note: this is a review of past holiday flavors. The current line-up (for summer) is Campfire S'mores (new for 2020), Banana Pudding, and Oreo Cookie Funnel Cake (new for 2022)]

We did it! We finally made it to Shake Shack (way) back in December! You see, many (many) moons ago, Massachusetts didn't have any Shake Shacks, and that was sad, but then in March 2013, our first Shake Shack opened in Chestnut Hill, and that just happened to be where we were on one particular Sunday.

Blue Bunny Soft Churro

[New for Early 2025] I know I said I wouldn't run to try this one, especially since coconut oil is in the mix and I'm afraid it will make things worse here, but it was on sale, so I bought....

Talenti Snickerdoodle Cookie

[New for Early 2025] I was running through Stop & Shop when I found two of the new bakery collection lineup. They didn't have Tiramisu, but they did have chocolate chip cookie batter and....

Fat Boy Churro Sandwich

[New for 2025] ...whoa, I just wrote "New for 2025".... crazy....  but yeah, I'm actually pretty stoked to be ice cream hunting this year. The last few years have been pretty boring, and I know I'm not going to enjoy everything headed our way, but it just feels more....   normal? We're supposed to get wound up for a new ice cream season in January. It's kind of a lost tradition. So, knowing that my local Shaw's had already started clearing shelf space, I ran to see what I could find early in the morning, and yeah, I found one of the things that I was most excited for!

Helados Mexico Churro Cookie Sandwiches

[New for 2024] Now that it's mowing season again, I've been antsy to restock the basement freezer with a few mid-mowing snacks. Bars (on a stick) are fine, but deep down, I always gravitate towards ice cream sandwiches first. I've been keeping my eye out for those girl scout thin mint chipwiches, but then the other day at Market Basket I saw something that is right up my alley.

Edy's Churro Caramel Crossroads Ice Cream

[New for Early 2023] Oh Edy's (Dreyer's), how little you effect my life these days. It's just hard to keep them in mind when I just don't see them that much now, and if I do, it's usually just a handful of standard flavors. The only thing really going on with them is the rocky road collection, and I don't see much of that around here. However, Market Basket does have them from time to time, so, let's take a scoop of...

Jeni's Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-tarts Ice Cream

[New for June 2023] As you may have heard today (since it's popping up on both traditional and social media), Jeni's has teamed up with Pop-tarts to release a brand new flavor.

Cold Case Ice Cream

A few weeks ago, I got an email from the marketing firm for Cold Case Ice Cream (website). I had never heard of them, but it only took a moment of looking at their website for me to realize that I needed to accept their offer and see what their delicious looking flavors were all about.

Ben & Jerry's Churray for Churros! Ice Cream

[New for Early 2023] Well, it didn't take very long to go from wanting the two new Ben & Jerry's flavor to finding them at Whole Foods (per my bud Eric's suggestion)

Buttery Cinnamon Ice Cream with Churro Pieces & Crunchy Cinnamon Swirls

NEWS: Ben & Jerry's Churray for Churros Ice Cream

With various folks posting various new pints on social media and my local freezer aisles being quite boring, I do feel a little behind these days....  and then my buddy Eric sends me this:

Ben & Jerry's Churray for Churros! Ice Cream

Buttery Cinnamon Ice Cream with Churro Pieces & Crunchy Cinnamon Swirls

I think the majority of people we're disappointed with Haagen-Dazs' attempt at a churro flavor, so it's nice to see Ben & Jerry's step up and take a crack at it, and according to Eric, they did a good job! Oh man I can't wait to find this one! I may even buy two when I see it.

He also picked up Lights! Caramel! ACTION! which was announced on 12/6/22. This one is also vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls, graham cracker swirls & gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough. Eric said this one is tasty as well. Yeah, I'll be picking this one up as well.

So, there is your good news for the day. Have a nice Sunday!

Monday Update: I found both at Whole Foods! >>> Churro review here and LCA review here.

Van Leeuwen King Cake Ice Cream

[New for Very Late 2022] Oh Van Leeuwen, you had to sneak in three more flavors before 2022 ended, didn't you? And the timing is fairly impressive too. We've got champagne flavor to celebrate New Years, Red Velvet for Valentine's day, and we've got this for Mardi Gras (Feb 21).

Van Leeuwan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll and Strawberry Ice Creams

[New for Fall 2022] So Van Leeuwan is back with *seven* more flavors (with 4 being exclusive to Walmart). This is round 3 of there 2022 blitz and I gotta ask: "does anyone still care at this point?" The flavors are the ones you see below plus Tapatio Mexican Hot Chocolate, Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole, Wildberry Layer Cake, Hazelnut Fudge Cookie, and Honeycomb (press release here). If you are like me, you may have thought they did honeycomb already, but this one is neither round 1's Hot Honey or round 2's Honey Cornbread.

Haagan-Dazs Dulce de Leche Churro Ice Cream

[New for 2022] Whoa, is it April already? Time really does start to fly as you get older. It's one of the reasons why I post 1-2 times a week instead of 3-5 times a week. Anyway, Haagan-Dazs' new churro bars were so good, is there any way that this pint rocks the same magic?
