During a recent visit to Jeni’s scoop shop, I tested out Jeni’s Sweet corn and black raspberries, and found that I was taken aback at the flavor complexity of something that seemed so simple; I decided to buy a pint and write a review. The base is a rich, cream base infused with a moderate, delightful corn boldness that is strangely very satisfying. Normally, I’m a big fan of all things coffee, chocolate, or peanut butter; however, this base proved so unique and soothing that I can must admit that I enjoy it as much those heartier options. You can’t deny the presence of corn with each bite, and the experience profound. The Black Raspberry swirl is absolutely perfect: very sweet, overflowing with raspberry flavor (and some seeds), mildly tart, and a perfect compliment to the soothing, neutral base. The swirl tended to sit near the bottom and edges of the pint, so if you’re splitting the pint, I would alternate scoops between bowls and pay attention to what you’re scooping. This is a great pint that anyone would enjoy. I’m not a huge fan of fruit-based ice creams, but this one seems to join Loveless Biscuits and Peach Jam as being an exception---another unique exception. Definitely try it if you can. Consensus: A Where I bought it: Jeni’s Splendid in Columbus, OH

I had this last year and can say I agree with your list (except I haven't tried handels), and I can comfortably add that Jeni's Cinderella Pumpkin sits at the bottom of that list.

I bought it as late as march. Just remember it's a Wal-mart exclusive, and I specifically have only seen it at Super Wal-Mart.
EDIT: it's not a wal-mart exclusive; whoops!

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

B&J Vanilla Heath Bar---Had virtually ZERO heath. Just flakes B&J Everything but that---Had ZERO heath and lots of nuts B&J Blondie Brownie----is just a bad flavor. What a dissapointment Steve's Salted Caramel----had almost ZERO swirl, only some on the bottom B&J Peanut Butter World---my first pint had an extremely small swirl and was pretty much chocolate ice cream Graeter's Watermelon Sorbet--I was required to buy it to get their test flavors. It contains ZERO fruit and is essentially kool-aid Rescoop Everything but the. Bet you will love it. You're probably right. I'm pretty disenfranchised with B&J at this point, though, so I probably won't---anytime soon. They dump their best flavors and release mediocre to inferior flavors; I've had a stretch of pints that really aren't loaded with sufficient mix-ins. Though PB world was great recently, but was on sale, which is why I bought it.

Just wanted to express my extreme disdain for this flavor. It is altogether bland and what little flavor it has tastes borderline rancid. And I refuse to entertain the notion that what I procured was in fact merely a bad pint... Unfortunately, I have to rank it as one of the most blasè / unfulfilling / worst ice creams I've ever consumed. Blondie? The description certainly in line with the flavor. "Rancid" is a bit of a push, but Rancid is definitely more flavorful than this base.

Not going to bother with Rocking Blondie, with the massive amount of subpar reviews im not going to waste my time. I can find something better at coldstone with 3x as many mix-ins You could find something better at Dairy Queen.

I've considered downgrading Rockin' Blondies to a B, just because there seems to be such conflicting views about it. My pint at least, was packed full of the blonde brownies, which were far from having "no real taste" as you put it. And the butterscotch toffee pieces were FAR better than their standard fudge chunks. The base, while I agree could have been better, wasn't any worse than their vanilla, and was much better than their chocolate. When I think C-rated Ben & Jerry's pints, I think of Truffle Trifecta, Cherry Garcia and Cheesecake Brownie, not this one. Maybe I just got an above average pint as far as mix-ins were concerned. From other pictures, I seemed to have a lot more brownies than others. I definitely respect your opinion Winston, but all the Graeter's and Jeni's you've been eating may be turning you into an extreme ice cream snob ha. I still think Peanut Butter Jam Session will rank much higher than Rockin' Blondies. Your pint does sound better than mine. My toffee pieces are little specs of orange and didn't offer much texture or flavor. The brownies existed, but not in high volume. I have been spoiled; I admit it. I've been on a massive top 5% Ice Cream streak with no intention of backing off soon. Still, though, this Rockin Blondie, at least as a memory-based comparison to the rest of the line, just doesn't taste like an "A".
