I recently had the luxury of visiting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I cashed in the opportunity to get my hands on the scoop-shop exclusive, 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 that i did get to encompass and taste in this pint with more to offer than a few scoops. Right off the bat the only downside was the lady really short changed my pint and only gave me 3 out of 4 servings, but that does not impact the review one bit
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. What is amazing is how those swirls really give you a salty texsture 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, if they had small pretzel chunks in here this would be beyond epic to be honest with you.
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 PB is a little more profound than in the PB Jam session so what a cluster would be the best way to compare this even with the Marshmallow and Caramel Swirls in that pint. he 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 2 scoop was much more profound. The amount of salty aftertaste with the pb richness was a perfect sweet/savory combination that hits the best of both worlds, which were pretty hard to find in either of the scoops. Even when I did manage to scoop some, the other peanut butter, nougat and fudge components effectively overpowered the little bit I had gathered. Overall the Pint was a MAJOR upgrade from the 2 scoop i did encounter previously. I was very satisfied with this pint and i would have to rival it as my #3/#4 next to WAC (OCC, Everything But the, and WAC/Candy Bar Pie) Are now my top 3, its very hard to tell but i think CBP May get the edge due to the sweet savory combo which is truly fantastic. Hopefully next time i get a pint of this it will be filled to the brim!
