Ben & Jerry's Candy Bar Pie (Pint Form) Review
Finally Ben & Jerry’s Candy Bar Pie is in the stores after being in the Scoop Shop for nearly a year. It has been a long time coming, but Ben & Jerry’s have many more bigger and better things planed for 2015 with an expansion of their Core Series in flavors and same with their regular flavors that are soon to blow away some people with their expectations and future releases.
Ben & Jerry’s Candy Bar Pie. After having a double scoop and going back now for the full pint it was a world of difference in taste, mix-ins, and overall swirl. Now getting the chance to try it in Pint Form I was eager to see if there really was much of a difference.
The top shows you that is has the fudge flakes present, peanut butter ice cream with fudge flakes, chocolate nougat & sweet & salty pretzel swirls is what is thrown into the mix here and you can honestly see the chocolate nougat and swirls present all over the place.
Digging into the first bite what is amazing is how those swirls really give you a salty texture as you plow down through the pint, which is awesome. You get the savory taste of peanut butter and the sweet taste of the pretzel and if they had small pretzel chunks in here, this would be beyond epic to be honest with you.
Overall the peanut butter ice cream is the same rich base used in What a Cluster and reminds me of the interior filling of a Reese’s Cup. I would have to say the peanut butter is a little more profound than in Peanut Butter Jam Session, so What a Cluster would be the best way to compare this (even with the marshmallow and caramel swirls in that pint).
The fudge chunks and chocolate nougat are abundant and work their way into nearly every bite. This is perfect for someone like me who prefers the mix-ins to be on the heavy side. The sweet & salty swirls compared to my two scoop sample was much more profound, but was lacking compared to my hand packed pint which seemed to have thicker/deeper swirls.
The amount of salty aftertaste with the richness of the peanut butter was a perfect sweet and savory combination that hits the best of both worlds, which was pretty hard to find in either of the scoops earlier (Scoop Shop Scoops). Overall the hand-packed pint was a major upgrade from the two scoops I encountered previously, and the pint I had was a downgrade in swirls. I was very satisfied with this pint and it could be my third or fourth favorite flavor from Ben & Jerry's next to What a Cluster, Oatmeal Cookie Chunk and Everything But The.
