Jan 11, 2022 - (full release here) Unilever announces new products across all of their ice cream brands.
Talenti gelato pairings excite me the most. I can't wait to find Caramel
Pretzel Blondie and Chocolate Churro, and then at some point I'll probably
try Bourbon Fudge Brownie and Strawberry Margarita.
Reading the description, I'm pretty excited for the Magnum Duet
Bars as well. Magnum bars are already tasty, and we've already had double
shelled bars, but now we are getting double dipped bars. They also have new
non-dairy options.
Lastly, there are 5 new new Klondike Cones flavors. Based on passed
experience, I will be skipping these. There are also 5 "new" Breyers
flavors. They've had other Banana Split flavors, but this new one is a
frozen dairy dessert. Very Berry Cobbler sounds like an inverse of Summer
Berry Cobbler (reviewed here). There's also two carbsmart flavors as well as a new M&M's MINIS
caramel Fudge light ice cream.
Branding note: Rights to label frozen products a Oreo and Chips Ahoy has
gone away from Unilever and over to Nestle. Unilever products will now just
be labeled as "Cookies & Creme".
Not officially announced yes, but some folks like @candyhunting have already found the new Blue Bunny Twist Cones. It looks like we'll see chocolate vanilla, chocolate peanut butter, and strawberry cheesecake.
So far Ben Jerry's has introduced new non-dairy core flavors as well as two
new topped flavors. (ok, technically there are the new mint chocolate chance
flavors, but those were released in December). I can't wait to find the new topped flavors. --- just got tagged on twitter for the new "Chewy Gooey Cookie" flavor, unfortunately they lost me at "coconut" [full description is milk chocolate & coconut ice creams with fudge flakes, shortbread cookies & caramel swirls]
Jan 25, 2022 (full press release here) Hudsonville Creamery is making a line of Little Debbie
themed ice cream and all 7 flavors will be exclusively at Walmart! I guess the Little
Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes ice cream that they announced at the end of
October went over very well! [I review two flavors here]
Jeni's has announced a new Maple Soaked Pancakes flavor. I will definitely
pick it up if I see it.
I just saw that Turkey Hill is rebranding their all natural line to "simply
natural". There are currently 16 flavors in all. Honestly, I don't love this
new name, and I don't know if they are trying to expand marketing reach or
trying to save the line up. I'm going to hope it's the former and not the
latter.
There are four new "spoil yourself" pint flavors from Haagen-Dazs, and two of those flavors, Dulce de Leche Churro and Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel, will also be available as ice cream bars. It's going to be a fun year for H-D!
P.S. nothing new from Blue Bell yet, though they did release a new egg nog ice cream back in November (press release here) plus they recently brought back Cookies & Cream Cone which sounds fun.
P.S.S. @candyhunting noticed the new Noose Frozen Yogurt Gelato. I think it might be at my local Hannaford so I will try to find it sooner rather than later.
Your turn: What are you most excited for? Did I miss anything?
