So what does everyone think of Ben & Jerry's new limited batch Cotton Candy?
I gave it a B, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed something I had such low expectations for.
My review can be found here: Ben & Jerry's Cotton Candy

the base was good, very sweet. reminded me of creme brulee but in a cotton candy fashion. but the sprinkles didnt really add anything to the mix imo. 7/10 from me. pics of my pint. V V V    |

Meh... rather have real cotton candy, or something with more chocolate/pb/cookie dough mix in. Seems too bland.

I personally am a fan of cotton candy flavored things like Bubbalicious gum and those old fashioned lollipops (and now that I think about it, the little tree hanging from my car's rearview is cotton candy scent) so in theory I should be excited about this new flavor.... but I'm not.
I don't know, If I'm going to spend the calories and $ on a B&J flavor, I want something more. I'd still like to try it though. But I never go to Walmart, so I'm not sure if I ever will get around to it.

I'll have to give it a shot this weekend. Great job with the forum by the way! Let us know what you think of it. And thanks! Glad to see you're a member.

But I never go to Walmart, so I'm not sure if I ever will get around to it. If you typically like Cotton Candy things you may really like this. I find myself steering clear of anything claiming its taste as artificial bubble gum and even I enjoyed this one. My pint was only a little over $3.00 because of a sale and 230 calories per serving is pretty reasonable for a Ben & Jerry's flavor. Let us know if you get around to it! |

C dawg all the way around. Base was kinda fun though. Definitely a fun new twist on their standard caramel, chocolate and vanilla based flavors. I think this will land somewhere around the B-C range for most people. |

I loved it! But then again I have a huge sweet tooth. Never had cotton candy ice cream before, so it was an adventure all right. Those candy sprinkles were something else!

I had never had a Cotton Candy flavored ice cream mainly because I thought I would hate it. Glad I picked this one up though. I enjoyed the candy sprinkles a lot. Ben & Jerry's Cake Batter could have benefited from these sprinkles as well I feel like! |

Had this after stacking 50 or so ~80 pound pallets in the 108 degree California weather, was actually quite nice and refreshing; enjoyed more than I thought I would. That said, still a C, feels like it was missing something, maybe more mix-ins, or a swirl would have bumped it up for me.

Cotton Candy with Cookie Dough or PB would just be a weird combo.

Thought it was rather good myself i saw what he did, but that would taste disgusting. Go eat cotton candy with cookie dough. would be too damn weird throw in a twix or a snickers? no thanks. |
