I had to impose a limit.
When its free, and loaded in my freezer, it can get out of control lol.
 
You are welcome to, HD Peppermint Bark is in stock in my house lol
 
Almost lost 7 pints of ice cream
came home from work and my filter was clogged on my freezer, so it stopped working. Everything was thawed
Had to rush my ice cream across the street to my grandma's. Pints were soft, but not leaking or melted.
Almost lost some good Mcconnell's, & Handel's.
Ample hills order comes in tomorrow.

In for review on Nonna's Oatmeal and Snap mallow pop
Click to expand...

Had both and they're great.

Snap Mallow has a great base with a decent amount of crispier that are actually crispy lol. B+/A-

The base in oatmeal is okay but barely tasted it with all the great cookies pieces. A-
 
Found some Joe Joe's lying around my house while my new fridge/freezer came in.
So Pumpkin Ripple Handel's + 3 Joe Joe's = Winning Combination:

It looks like the first pint wasn't just luck...2 for 2 on them being loaded with salted caramel and brownies.

breezy11 if you can and it is still in Walmart i would highly suggest Roasted & Toasted before it is gone as a seasonal.
Also since you have a Fresh Market Sea Salt Cookies & Cream Mcconnell's
 
Man i need to try that pint

Just got a new passport, maybe its a sign lol

Many other better things than ben & jerry's in the US brother.
Mcconnel's --> Sea Salt COokies & Cream, Peanut Brittle, Peanut Butter Chip
Graeters --> Black Rasp Choc Chip, CNC, Bourbon Pecan, Buckeye Blitz, PB Cookie Dough
Gelato Fiasco --> PB, S'mores, Espresso Chip, Mascarpone Pistachio, Sriracha Peanut,
Handel's --> Buckeye, Handels Half Time, Spouse like a house, Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, CCCD, Fudge Ripple, Choc PB Brownie, Caramel Pretzel Crunch, Pumpkin Ripple
Salt & Straw --> Candycopia
Chocolate Shoppe (Wisconsin)--> Ultimate oreo, Espresso Oreo, Cookie Dough, Choc PB Cup
New Orleans Ice Cream Company (Cafe Au Lait, Chocoalte City, Mint Chocolate Cookie)
Ample hills --> Snap Mallow Pop, OOey Gooey Butter Cake, Raw Deal, Chocolate Cookie, Oatmeal, Peanut Brittle.

All of these offer a lot of great flavors you have to try that would top a lot of the ben & Jerry pints.

Yeah, I had the roasted and toasted a few months ago (whenever it first came out).

I'll definitely be grabbing the McConnell's. There's a few flavors that I want to try but haven't yet.
 
7-Select Banana Cream Pie

7-11 kept this one very simple, and to the point. Good ice cream does not need a lot of mix-ins, variations, or swirls to establish a quality offering. With a spot on banana base, and a perfect pie crust pairing you got an incredible banana ice cream combination. If you are a fruit fan I would highly suggest grabbing this if you have a 7-11 gas station near by. If not it may not strike you as the top flavor 7-11 provides. Overall this is a must to try, 7-11 brings quality ice cream to the table, and this was no let down just like the other flavors I have tried (Fudge Marshmallow, Cookie Dough, and S'mores).

Grade: B
 
Grabbed the B&J brownie ale -- pretty good stuff. Not a big ale fan, so that first taste was like "I'd rather have vanilla" lol, but it ended pairing really well with the caramel.
 
Handel's Graham Central Station:

At first I was skeptical hearing how this is one of Handel's best flavors, but after trying it I would have to agree. If you like anything that resembles a graham cracker, cinnamon, and a hint of chocolate you need this immediately. The quality of the graham cracker base alone separates itself from the pack on the ice cream market. The inclusion of the graham cracker ripple and chocolate crunchies were icing on the cake. The chocolate crunchies could be labeled mini chocolate malt balls, but do not let it fool you because they all combine perfectly to make it one of my top 3 flavors from Handel's behind Pumpkin and CCCD.

Grade: A+
 
Picked this up at Dash's market in Buffalo yesterday...

I didn't think it was bad, but not as good as I thought it'd be. My expectations were high because I'm a big marshmallow and caramel fan (prefer Phish Food for those mix-ins, which is also one of my B&J favorites). I think it's been a Walgreens exclusive for a year or 2.

Not a good Ben & Jerry offering.
You will be dissapointed after all the handels you have on hand. That is a lackluster B&J Flavor.
PB cup, PB World, OCC, Cinnamon Buns, Milk & Cookies, ClusterFluff, Phish Food, Dublin Mudslide, Candy Bar Pie, Salted Caramel Brown-Ale, Everything but the.. would all be much better scoops

most reviews give it around a C average:

Handel's Midnight Madness

Besides the weird way my pint was set up from start to finish another exclusive and premium offering from Handel's. The only downside is this is limited at locations from time to time. Similar to the seasonal Pumpkin Ripple, Peppermint Stick, Oreo Dough, Graham Central Station and other flavors they do have (Handel's Half Time being another). If you are a dark chocolate fiend, you could eat this base by itself and love the ice cream. Add in Peanut Butter + Peanut Butter Oreo's its a dream come true. This is a must if you enjoy chocolate or peanut butter. Lets face it who really does not?

Grade: A
