Id bet the farm they're gonna be nearly identical. The mix ins will prob be almost exactly the same. Just the swirl will be diff and I have high hopes for the brown sugar base being better that the caramel which by itself eh

You can bet the farm. Ill be glad to take all the chickens. Then i won't have to go to the grocery store :)

Cream Cheese compared to a cinnamon streusel swirl will be different. same with adding pecans into the mix. Sometimes B&J's nuts are hit or miss. Their walnuts are killer in some pints (Chunky Monkey)
For a lot of people who had Rockin' Blondies or Blondie Ambition they were not super high on liking that flavor. The Caramel may take the cake on this one.

Again, will be up and down reviews based off the personal preference. Cinnamon Buns is a hard one to top, if they can replicate it and enhance it I am all for it.
 
I went looking for that new pint and left disappointed.

I tried the sticky cinnamon cones. Anyone whose had drumsticks knows you don't get a lot of ice cream so you need take that into consideration. With that bring said, I did like the Cinnabon flavour IC with the caramel swirl. That signature hard milk chocolate tip at end of the cone ...yes please! B+.

8/10 from me

Needed more dough, 1/2 as much as cinn. Buns if even.
Base and taste is solid though

Ha nope. Gotta keep my KI log/diet up to snuff. Plus I've been to Chicago quite a few times and had the pizza from a number of places. Great stuff but nothing I absolutely must have. All pizza is good to me ha

Overall the base was quality, but the mix-ins were not the usual consistency Ample Hills brings to the table. The creaminess and soft base was enhanced by a salty and rich pretzel infused ice cream. The lack of MnM's, pretzels, crackers, and potato chips was underwhelming. 3 total MnM specks and a touch of the other mix-ins left this to be a pretzel infused pint of ice cream. After seeing another half dozen reviews on this flavor packed to the brim with mix-ins, this may be just a bad experience. Ample Hills had a very good idea, I just happened to not get as much as I expected.

Grade: B



If your stores still have cake my day or pb cookies and cream in stock you won't find it until they are gone...
They have to make room for new exclusives.

In other words. take the supply and let them melt so they get new flavors faster :)

Agree. It is good but not - plan a whole trip to Chicago for - good. A lot other legit food in IL too...
 
Yeah I grabbed Sticky Buns in MI

Worth trying for anyone who likes brown sugar, which is potent in the base, and I'd say it was 50/50 pecan/sticky buns for mix-ins

So if you like pecans this could be gold for you.
If you are a dough fan, like me you may wish those pecans were more dough instead

Haven't been there looks amazing. My wife wants to do the Chicago cupcake tour or chocolate tour. Always sales on groupon.

Dylans Candy Bar is fun if you like to have a few drinks. Cotton candy martinis, pop rock ones, all kinds of cool stuff.

Theres 4 of those wrappers in my trash can atm

Great 600 cal midnight snack

These are made in Jana's factory too. Which is great, pricy otherwise
 
For ice cream sandwiches
NO Creole Cream Cheese Sandwich was straight BOMB.com
Coolhaus are good and are unique with their flavors.
Chip Wheelies from Graeters are not too bad.
Old school Jeni's cookies are damn good, have not had one since the listeria thing. The macaroon with dark chocolate ice cream was F'in Bonkers good.
