Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cookie Core
Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cookie Core is "Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Crunchy Peanut Butter Sugar Bits, Peanut Butter Cookies & a Peanut Butter Cookie Core" Going into this pint and Ben & Jerry's having a good PB base I had high hopes, if not the best hope as the #1 core flavor of the new 3 that were produced. Speculoos was very good, Chocolate was decent, and this I have read some positive vibes on.
After I popped the lid to be presented to a massive peanut butter core my eyes started to rise. The base tasted just as expected very good. The dense peanut butter flavor with a hint of saltiness to it gives a great sweet and savory combo that is outstanding. I saw no signs of the PB Cookies or PB Sugar bits, but i hoped to strike some more when i dug into the pint!
Upon a few more bites I dug into the PB Sugar Bits and PB Cookies. Pretty similar to the other core series with little globs here and there as you venture downward into the pint. Do not expect massive 1/2" thick chunks like you would find in a graeter's selection, but they are present. The peanut butter cookies are similar to the inside of a nutter butter but with a harder outside shell as a cookie. The PB Sugar Bits are like little scattered pieces similar to Nutty Caramel Swirl.
Overall The PB Core is straight up delicious. Think about HD PB Pie, and the massive globs of peanut butter it packs and that is what the core provides. Lets tack on a great Sweet and Salty Peanut Butter base and some decent mix-ins and we have a good pint. This one is probably a 1/2 tie for the best of the new core series flavors. With PB cookies that are scattered around the pint, small slivers of PB Sugar Bits and a good base this one gets a good score. The only downside is the core series tend to lack mix-ins and they are not similar to the size of regular pints (possibly due to the core addition) if the mix-ins were more frequent and a bit larger in size. this would be an easy A
Score: B+
