The chocolate and marshmallow duo is a great tag team combination. Add in hints of caramel and chocolate candy, and you've got a pint-sized combination. Without a doubt Ben & Jerry's made a good point that surpasses a majority on their line. Ben & Jerry's attempted to increase the creativity with the band-inspired name and fish-shaped fudge, while they were a nice change of pace, it was just a chocolate bar molded into a fish shape.

Grade: B

The one pint I tried of this had no swirl which has kept me away. We need more marshmallow in ice cream

not a peppermint fan, but butter cake was good. i got munchies in my freezer.
Depends what your in the mood for. 7/11 S'mores is a very good flavor that deserves some more recognition. Dense and full of flavor.

I thought banana cream pie was decent. Let me know how you like Smores bud.
 
Loved it... I love a swirl, although this wasn't a swirl their was so much fudge and marshmallow. The graham base is unique, one thing hat would make it better would be graham pieces to give it some texture so I'll give it an A. A+ if there were graham pieces

I discovered a place in Canada called Fiasco Gelato. I ordered about a dozen and tried Sticky Ginger Pudding.
The base was very flavourful and creamy with bits of moist cake. Then mid-pint ...BAM chunks of moist cake. A-

I didnt take a pic so stole from their site.

Ample Hills Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace

Ample Hills thrives on quality ice cream, and consistent mix-ins. Nonn'a D's Oatmeal Lace is nothing short of an oatmeal cookie paradise. If you were a fan of Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk this may surpass expectations. If anything this may become your new favorite oatmeal ice cream. Paired together its a match made in heaven, and provides top tier ice cream from first bite to last scoop. After scooping 6 pints from Ample Hills I have to say I am impressed on the variety they offer on the ice cream market.

Graeters Buckeye Blitz

The thick base ice cream provides a well-balanced attack of both chocolate and peanut butter, an approach that’s rarely seen. Most companies choose one or the other rather than combining the two together. If the actual ice cream wasn’t impressive enough, Graeter’s tosses in their signature chocolate chips. A few of the ones in this pint ended up being much larger than my actual spoon, which happens often when we’re talking Graeter’s. The fact that they've also included balls of peanut butter cookie dough is just overkill at this point. These chewy mix-ins put Buckeye Blitz among the elite ice creams in our rankings.


Grade: A+

Overall I went into this pint not knowing what to expect and left with an average of the road grade. The banana base is decent, but not a top tier offering that some other companies provide. Ben & Jerry's could enhance the richness and ripeness to make it a great flavor. The Fudge chunks are harder than rocks and you may scratch your teeth trying to break through them. The walnuts on the other hand were much softer, provided a great compliment, and need to be involved in more B&J offerings.

Grade: C+/B-
 
I'd agree on the C+ there ate far better banana pints out there.
Even the HD Artisan banana rum beat that pint out, IMO.

I really want to enjoy a banana pint, which is your guys' number 1?
