BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Here at Ben & Jerry’s, we like to think that every day is an ice cream day. But for those who need an excuse to indulge, have no fear, National Ice Cream Month is here! We find it hard to believe that anyone needs an excuse to eat more ice cream, but just in case, for the entire month of July, Ben & Jerry’s fans have a reason to deep dive into a pint of their favorite flavor. And the possibilities are endless, from a classic like Phish Food to the latest and cookie-doughiest creation, the Tonight Dough. Besides, there is nothing like delving into an ice cold Ben & Jerry’s pint that’s swimming with swirls and bursting with chunks while soaking up the sun on hot summer days.
And with so many options to choose from, we sure are making it difficult to decide among our newest innovations – from Cookie Cores to the BRRR-ito to the pint with a cause, Save Our Swirled. How to decide? Our fans will have to work hard to try all these euphoric concoctions in only one month. National ice cream year, perhaps?
If an indulgent cookie and ice cream combination will satisfy that sweet tooth try the Cookie Cores, which are the best, new ice cream innovation for trial and repeat purchase in 2015. Cookie Cores offer the crunchy, swirly inclusion of spoonable cookies right down the center of each pint. The flavors tie in favorites such as chocolate cookies, peanut butter cookies, and speculoos cookies (a cinnamon spice cookie) at their centers, and let fans customize the way they eat each and every bite in each and every pint. The flavors include: Boom Chocolatta! Cookie, Peanut Buttah and Spectacular Speculoos.
Looking to break outside the pint? Pop into any scoop shop and grab a BRRR-ito, the coolest and newest way to eat ice cream. Imagine combining any two favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavors drizzled with chocolate fudge, topped with a crunchy cookie crumble, and rolled to perfection in a freshly baked chewy crepe-like wrap. It rolls like a burrito, but it eats like dessert.
For the Ben & Jerry’s fan looking for a light, fruit flavor enter the newest addition to the 2015 flavor line up: Save Our Swirled. This pint is filled to the brim with raspberry ice cream, swirled with rivers of marshmallow and raspberry and white & dark fudge cone-shaped chunks. The Save Our Swirled flavor is the latest and greatest component to the company’s year-long Save Our Swirled campaign that aims to inspire citizens across the globe to demand climate action.
