Even though I haven't tried nearly as many Blue Bell flavors as I'd like, based on what I've had, here's where my ranking would currently stand: 1. Gingerbread House 2. Lemon Bliss 3. Natural Vanilla Bean 4. Mint Cookies 'n Cream 5. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough I've yet to try their French Vanilla, but the more I think about it, the more I look back and appreciate their Natural Vanilla Bean. It's one of the few times I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, it's well worth buying a full half-gallon to experience. Their Homemade Vanilla is impressive as it is (looks like I even converted my mother, a die-hard Haagen-Dazs fan, since she bought a pint of Homemade Vanilla over HD's Five, saying she liked the fact it's light), but their Natural Vanilla Bean even makes that look subpar. That might just be me, but the fact Blue Bell half-gallons are $3.99 this week makes Natural Vanilla Bean to resist. Not a bad Top 5, although I wasn't much of a fan of either Lemon Bliss or Mint Cookies 'n Cream.. However, I have been eyeballing the Vanilla Bean flavor for quite a while now as I'm a huge fan of vanilla bean ice creams. Would you rate this higher than Haagen-Dazs' Vanilla Bean? I may have to pick it up real soon! Oh, it's no contest, Blue Bell's the clear victor. Then again, I think Haagen-Dazs are highly overrated.

I heard the Talenti Tahitian Vanilla Bean was good also, so I may scoop these up and compared them! Thanks for the info man..

I noticed nobody included Happy Tracks on their list, but this stuff is sick. Rivals Dessert Trio for shear quantity of good "stuff". Loaded with thick ribbons of fudge and small peanut butter cups. I often rotate this with Dessert Trio when i just gotta have an ice cream chock full of chunks.

Nice thread idea. I feel bad for everyone who doesn't have access to Blue Bell. Looks we have pretty similar looking lists... 1. Gingerbread House 2. Dessert Trio 3. Caramel Turtle Cheesecake 4. Christmas Cookies 5. Italian Cream Cake i saw your review of christmas cookies in july and was looking forward to them this month. but it looks like theyre not even in rotation.

birthday cake is now in rotation according to the bb website. i see you gave it a pretty good rating, chad. im hoping my stores start stocking up on it soon! That's great news about the birthday cake flavor being in rotation! It seems like Chad had a positive experience with it, so it's something to look forward to. Hopefully, your local stores will start stocking it soon, and you can enjoy it as well. 🎂🍰
