I'll never need more reasons to go for a shopping trip to Target. Nonetheless, I've just been provided with one: a crop of new Ben & Jerry's flavors. The ice cream company has added two more options to its exclusive line, available at the retail store: Volun-Tiramisu and Peanut Butter World. Both are intended to promote volunteerism, and both sound astoundingly delicious.
Peanut Butter World is described as a "milk chocolate ice cream with peanut buttery swirls and chocolate cookie swirls." Imagine a rich chocolate ice cream with two circular chocolate pieces from an Oreo cookie and swirls of gooey peanut butter.
Tasters disagreed on the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. "Good balance of both," one commented, while another suggested, "It's really chocolate ice cream with equal parts cookie and peanut butter, so I think the name is misleading." I enjoyed the dense, cocoa-like flavor of the ice cream, which seemed more dark chocolate than milk to me. Get the rest of the new flavor scoop when you read more.
