For many of us, mid-terms are either upon us or fast approaching. What better time to acquaint yourself with some of Ben and Jerry’s best flavor combinations? These dairy dessert masters have blessed us with so many flavors, but I believe these to be among the best. Grab a pint and start studying (or procrastinating, I don’t care, I'm not your mother).
1. Half Baked
Nothing is better than being fully baked and diving into to a carton of Half Baked. It combines your love of brownie chunks and your love of cookie dough into one mouthwatering ice cream, meaning you’ll never be forced to choose just one or the other again! Life just got that much easier for the hungry stoner.
2. Chubby Hubby
You don’t need to be anyone’s overweight husband to enjoy this. Chocolate and peanut butter ribbons dance through this ice cream, surrounded by fudgey pretzel bites. You’ll gain weight just looking at it, but that’s okay, who’s judging? Hopefully not your roommate.
3. Cherry Garcia
A long standing staple of B&J, Cherry Garcia has been satisfying that fancy, fruity craving for decades. Cherry ice cream married to cherry and fudge chunks is surprisingly indulgent and always ready to catch your anxiety-induced tears. Maybe you better extend that study break to all night?
4. Chunky Monkey
Another fruity favorite, this ice cream makes a delectable treat of banana ice cream, walnuts, and fudge chunks. I don’t care for bananas but I will eat banana ice cream all day long and only feel slightly guilty. Also, you don’t have to be a monkey to eat it, but you'd probably like it even more if you were.
5. New York Super Fudge
I’m from Montana, but I love New York Super Fudge, meaning you can enjoy this ice cream from the comfort of your own state. This ‘brownie on steroids’ ice cream is filled with white and dark fudge chunks as well as walnuts, pecans, and fudge covered almonds. Trust me, you’re going to love their nuts.
6. Coffee Coffee, Buzz Buzz
For when your ice cream doesn’t have enough heart pounding, palm sweating caffeine in it, look for Coffee Coffee, Buzz Buzz. This coffee ice cream is filled with chocolate covered espresso beans guaranteed to energize and awaken, while also making you feel like a lazy piece of crap for eating so much ice cream.
7. Phish Food
The best fucking ice cream ever. I’m biased because I’ve been eating this since I was four years old, but it’s a goddamn masterpiece. This chocolate ice cream is filled with caramel and marshmallow swirls with little fudge fish swimming around. If you don’t like it, we can’t be friends.
