I found Pumpkin Cheesecake!!!

I went to my local Wal-Mart today. I was digging through the Ben and Jerry's selection in the freezer aisle (surprisingly they do not have a big selection of flavors). And I found Pumpkin Cheesecake on the back of the shelf! I was so excited to find it since I was looking for the flavor since it was re-released earlier in the fall (along with Cannoli which I still have not found).

I will have a review of Pumpkin Cheesecake later this weekend or early next week!

Everything But The... Review!!!

It is that time again: A new review!!! This time the flavor is Everything But The...



Ben and Jerry's Everything But The... is A Collision of Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Creams mixed with Peanut Butter Cups, Heath Bar Chunks, White Chocolatey Chunks and Fudge Covered Almonds. 


Wow. All I got to say is wow. There is so much going on in this pint (just look at the picture below!). There are big chunks of peanut butter cups and white chocolate fudge. The fudge covered almonds are smaller but there is still a good amount of them in the pint.

While eating this pint, the best idea that I had was to put a little bit of everything onto one spoonful. The texture and flavor combinations were unreal. The flavors were very intense and it was hard to pinpoint all of them. There was saltiness from the peanut butter cups and almonds, sweetness from the white chocolate fudge chunks and the fudge covering the almonds along with the crunchiness and toffee from the heath bar chunks. You also cannot forget the smooth and creamy chocolate and vanilla ice creams which ties all of the flavors together. It's incredible.


This may be the last review until December. I am not going food shopping this week and Thanksgiving is Thursday. I may not be able to get a new flavor until early next week, after Thanksgiving.

Thanks for reading!!

Still no luck in finding Cannoli =(

Today, I went to my local Kroger and looked for the new flavor. Unfortunately, they were either out of Cannoli or they don't have it. I have a feeling that I will have to wait until December when I go back home to NY to try Cannoli. I am hoping that it will still be in stores at that time.

In the meantime, I got a new flavor: Everything But The...

Will have the review either at the end of this week or early next week.

New York Super Fudge Chunk!!!

I am homesick and I miss my home state of New York so I decided to try Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk.

Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk is made of Chocolate Ice Cream with White and Dark Fudge Chocolate, Pecans, Walnuts and Fudge Covered Almonds.




On the back of the pint, it states "...we could make an even more unforgettable impression on New Yorkers if we added more chunks than any other flavor we made". And they do not disappoint this New Yorker.  There are a lot of pecans, walnuts, dark chocolate covered almonds, and fudge chunks in the pint. And the fudge chucks are HUGE. There is a mixture of both dark chocolate and white chocolate fudge. As usual, the chocolate ice cream is very smooth and creamy.

When you add the dark and white fudge chunks with the dark chocolate covered almonds, the combination of all the chocolate flavors and textures hits you and your taste buds. The pecans, walnuts, and almonds add another layer of texture which amplifies the flavor even more. This is a great and intense flavor.


I am still on the lookout for the new B&J flavor Cannoli. According to the #FindCannoli website (http://www.benjerry.com/limited-batch-locator?utm_source=benandjerrys&utm_medium=twitter), the closest place to me is at a Krogers that is 40 miles away. But there is a Krogers 10 minutes away from my place so I am going to go there (either later this week or the weekend) and see if they have the flavor.

Thanks for reading!

Hurricane and Superstorm Sandy

Hurricane Sandy has come and gone. It left my hometown in shambles. Apparently, there was a lot of flooding, downed trees, and damage. And in was worse in NYC, Queens and NJ. It is hard to believe that something like this has happened. Being here in Michigan, I have no idea what the impact is like back home on Long Island. All I can do is just check the photos and read the news online. 

My family and friends are safe. A lot of them lost material stuff but they are OK nevertheless. It is so hard to be so far away and that I can't help out from Michigan.
