I always make extra room in my week to enjoy a pint of ice cream in front of a good show. Looking to branch out in my flavor range so what are y’alls favorite and least favorite flavors.

Brownie batter core, peanut butter fudge core, everything but the, and half baked are all 👌👌

Recently tried wake n no bake core and it was nasty, super grainy. Felt like it was stuffed with sand.

    My faves are Chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate brownie so I always stick to Half Baked. Lately I mix some of it it with a plain vanilla ice cream since I find B&J a bit rich/busy so it stretches it out a bit.

    Americone Dream is the first flavor in a long time I've liked of full fat/sugar B&Js.

    Tried a core flavor once several years ago - a caramel one - and it was so gross I only ate about 1/4 to 1/3 of the pint. It's probably still in my friends freezer if I were to visit again since he thought it was pretty vile, too.

    The stuff is frozen hell on my gut, but I love it.

    I'm so mad. just as i swear off B&J's the core's FINALLY come to local stores. Seriously. I'm telling myself they are not nearly as good as they look and sticking to that ;)

    My favs are Half Baked Peanut Butter or the Tonight Dough. just...i could eat them all day. i have zero ability to stick to a half cup or even 1 cup. so it's a calorie nightmare!

    Maybe if i am ever able to run again and run a decent distance i'll reward myself with that. But it's been 9mts of rehab with so many different specialist and still a big fat no.

    I tried the low-cal moophoria PB dough the other night and really really liked it. Roughly half the calories and no artificial sweeteners (not that I mind them but the flavour gets a bit much halfway through a pint of halo top). Would definitely recommend!

    Oooo thanks I want to try these since I can't handle sweeteners and wouldn't mind having a lower cal option.

    I love their dairy-free options, especially the peanut butter and the coffee flavors. All of my children were dairy intolerant as infants, so finding Ben and Jerry’s alternative ice creams made my diary free diet slightly more tolerable.

    How’s the texture of the sugar core? I had an awful experience with the wake n no bake so I’m hesitant about giving that line another chance

    I didn't like the one Core I tried so go ahead and stick with that!

    Phish Food is my favorite, Caramel Sutra is up there too. I've never tried core or half-baked, but love Peanut butter and tend to eat at least half a pint and that'd add up!

    It might be a blessing in disguise :D I actually have major trouble putting the spoon down before the tub is empty.

    It is. i have to stop buying it because i cannot stick to 1-2 servings and be satisfied. To "stay strong" i have to measure it out and then strain the rest in sink RIGHT AWAY to ensure i don't eat more (no exaggeration). Plus I like the ones that are nearly 400 cals per serving hahaha. it's a rare major splurge.

    So really debating trying the core or not. I guess it's not worth knowing it may be as good as I think it is ;) And for the cost i sorta wouldn't mind trying some wonderful locally made pints.

    that's a level of strong I have not reached lol. I have to plan a splurge, or just resign myself to the fact that I'm going to hurt myself for a night. My wife....she will eat 6 bites and put it back in the freezer. I don't even....

    I haven't tried the core either, but I'm sure I'll like it when I do :D

    Brownie batter core, peanut butter fudge core, and chocolate therapy are some of my new favourites, but my usual pints are the tonight dough and if I had 1,000,000 flavours (which I think is a Canada only flavour? Maybe?). I have to plan my calories to eat the entire pint. I can’t eat only 1 serving, I just keep going back for more until it’s all gone.

    Haagen Dazs is where it's at for non-dairy. Cado is really good too. B&Js is decent. Since I'm unfortunately allergic to wheat, B&Js needs to make a few more wheat free options. I'm like you. My wife is very allergic to dairy, so I eat non-dairy, though I can eat it fine. Haagen Dazs made it tolerable for me.
