Cannot find Sunday Morning from Steve's not as my poverty whole foods My Whole Foods has zero. We have a spot called Plum Market that stocks Steve's, but no Sunday Morning or Banana Pudding. Those are the ones I really want, too... Biggest premium ice cream disappointment for me is probably Ben and Jerry's Late Night Snack. Should have been an A+ and top five territory, but poor execution landed it a C/C- in my book. I didn't quite throw this one out, but I did give about 80% of it away after my first few spoonfuls. Same problem in my area. The steve's flavors are boring. I want some sundae morning, cookie dough, banana pudding

Let's see B&J Truffle Trifecta (Walgreens), and What a cluster and now Rockin Blondies. Cookie dough and peanut butter duet flavor from Walgreens Good and Delish brand. A Private Selection flavor Chocolate peanut butter mousse or something close to that. I actually threw it out. What a Cluster? Srs? Afraid so! ...and I tried it two times. Forgot I didn't like it the first time.

There's a local spot called Treat Dreams that specializes in unusual flavors in limited, small batches. Flavors are constantly rotating in and out, so you never know what will be available.
Having said that, "Sunday Morning Breakfast" is in the rotation right now (I think - the dates on the flavor list are wonky) and it's supposedly a maple ice cream with waffle pieces and crispy bacon. I could go for that if there's any left. Seems like it could be a decent substitute for the Steve's flavor.
Checked out a few of their past flavors and decided that I need to keep a closer eye on them in the future.

PB World was a disappointment for me as well, but after seeing a number of fantastic pint shots and Winston's 180 reversal on re-scoop, I've decided it deserves another shot. Two pints in the freezer right now, so that should make for a decent sampling unless I have the worst luck ever. Hoping I had a bum pint the first time, because my PB content was super weak.
I wish I could say that I had similar hopes for LNS, but I cannot bring myself to even pick up another pint. I haven't seen any pictures or reviews indicating to me that my lame pint was anything but standard for that flavor.

Haagen Dazs Salted Caramel Truffle ice cream. Having had quite a few pints of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel, my expectations were high, but this one probably would've disappointed even without that comparison to make. There was not much caramel flavor, and the truffles tasted like Russell Stover.

Even their best leave a lot to be desired, especially when it comes to mix-ins.

I really liked HD Peanut Butter Pie too and their Salted Caramel Gelato (I thought was much better than the HD Caramel Truffle IC) other than that, I am usually pretty disappointed in HD flavors.

Even Peanut Butter Pie underwhelmed me. It definitely has the most impressive mix-in component of any HD flavor I've tried, which isn't tough to accomplish, but they definitely got it down there. The only problem there is that it suffered from the other issue I have with them, which is very bland flavor. I'm a big peanut butter fan, but even I felt pretty bored by the taste in PBP.

Another reason why i dont branch towards HD, a lot more caloric dense, but lackluster in Mix-ins besides PBP

Graeter's coconut almond chip is 360kcals/serving and would be the highest I'd ever seen... Had I not come across (and demolished)a pint of Chozen's Heavenly Halvah, which clocks in at 420kcals/serving.

Good, not great. It has a ton of tahini paste in the base, and sesame brittle mixed in. An acquired taste for certain.
