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
I loved this, so thick and the dough chunks were perfect.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing keeping this out of my top 3 B&J's available right now is the actual pecans. Take them out or make them sugary praline pecans. Perfectly good junk food and they had to go put healthy %^#& in it :)
Maybe they don't want it in the lineup permanently because it would compete against Cinnamon Buns and they would rather have just one main flavor like this.
ReplyDelete@Stride: hmmm, yeah, I guess they are kind of similar, but I think it's sweet (and pecan-y) enough to both be in the lineup
ReplyDeleteI loved this as well. I wished for a few more mix-ins in my pint, but it was good enough I purchased two additional pints to have on hand!
ReplyDeleteI would've loved to try this but I'm very anti cream cheese. I did try their new dairy free "ice cream" aka frozen treat....coffee caramel fudge. Was not pleasant. I'm waiting for Empower-mint flavor. Sadly, most of their "limited" flavors are ones that I'm not too fond of....although schweddy balls was pretty dang good
ReplyDeleteI'd want to see this available everywhere so I don't have to subject myself to Wal-Mart. It's so depressing that I have to eat the whole pint in the parking lot to cheer up.
ReplyDeleteThis flavor is great, btw.
The best!! That much goodness in a small container 😊😊😊
ReplyDeleteFavorite flavor in the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePlease keep forever!!
Tried it for the first time.....I'm on love. I have 2 spoonfuls everyday until it's gone.
ReplyDeleteJust found this at Walmart & it was delicious! The buttery brown sugar base was unique compared to the vanilla & chocolate bases they usually use, the cream cheese complemented the base, & there was a lot of sticky bun pieces.
