Ben & Jerry's Pecan Sticky Buns Ice Cream

[New for 2016, Exclusive to Walmart] So about every three months now, Walmart scores themselves another Ben & Jerry's exclusive. I finally tried Peanut Butter & Cookies just a few weeks ago, and here we are already digging in to...

Ben & Jerry's Pecan Sticky Buns Ice Cream

buttery brown sugar ice cream with pecans, sticky bun dough
and a cream cheese frosting swirl

I'm not sure what to aim for first, swirl or pecan or dough.... mmmmm, the dough is nice and sweet, no complaints there. The pecan is, well, a pecan. There is an underlying cream cheese flavor to every bite (though it's mild so far).

I take a big bite, sticky bun dough and all, and I like it. It's a nice sweet flavor and I always enjoy those. Let me get another bite with dough and pecans.... mmmmm, #funfactor.

Whoa, those are some big pecans. I don't eat a lot of pecans, but these seem like quality/fresh ones. For me, sometimes butter pecan flavors can be a little overbearing, especially when rocking a heavy salt vibe, but this is cool. It feels fun, it feels fresh, and it feels unique.

Pecans may not be everybody's thing, and you may not necessarily think cream cheese on your sticky buns, but man I could easily plow through this sweet pint. I keep getting these blasts of sugary goodness and it's really enjoyable. I'm kind of surprised this is an exclusive flavor, it could definitely hold it's on in the main line up.

I'm not really sure what you would complain about on this one unless you find it too sweet. Obviously if you don't like butter pecan ice cream, don't pick this up. But if you love ice cream and love pecan sprinkled sticky buns, I say go for it.

On Second Scoop: Man, if this wasn't 300 calories a serving I so would have destroyed it in one serving, I just enjoy it's sweetness and diversity that much. I think this is such a winner that I would love to see like a companion walnut brownie flavor to go with it or some other neat trick where they mix dough bits with nut bits. What would you want to see?

Verdict?  excellent
Buy Again?  yup

note: also contains peanut oil
