After about a month of this being released, my walmart took forever to remove their stock of Cotton Candy to make way for this limited flavor. Peanut Butter Brownie Sundae is a Walmart Exclusive, and with that said its reviews have been nothing short of spectacular. After seeing this on the shelves I did not hesitate to grab this in anticipation of looking for the new Peanut Butter Half Baked flavor as well!
Peanut Butter Brownie Sundae is labeled as "vanilla ice cream with fudge brownies & a crunchy peanut buttery swirl." on paper it sounds great, but now once we crack the lid will we be letdown or strike gold? For 300 calories a serving you better hope this lives up to its name. Just like how PB World, PB Cup, and the other PB Offerings like What a Cluster are high caloric based and really pack a punch with flavor. Upon lifting the lid you get exactly that a nice looking smooth vanilla base, you also note the brown ripples of the peanut butter swirl. No real visible signs of fudge brownies but that is yet to come.
Upon first bite I was shocked to be honest because with the amount of swirl I got in my first bite. This made me surprised because the vanilla was overshadowed by the crunchy peanut butter swirl. While the vanilla base may turn people off as a generic flavor Ben & Jerry's just off first bite seems like they really amped the peanut butter swirl because it looked to amplify as i looked down. I did not strike gold yet on a brownie, but after my first bite I saw a nice big brown glob.
As I worked through this pint I really was surprised at the size offerings of the brownies. Not little brownie pieces like you may have experienced before, these were large, moist, and very delightful. I would like to classify it as Graeter like size brownie pieces throughout the pint. The crunchy peanut butter swirl is more like a part of the base with how dominant the flavor is in every single bite from start to finish. The vanilla base seems more of an after taste than a dominant base. While the vanilla base has a nice elegant flavor to it, the size of the brownie mix-ins and the dominant peanut butter swirl put this as a simple yet effective offering from Ben & Jerry's. If you have not been to Walmart to grab this out of the freezer, do yourself a favor and go now.
