Review: Haagen-Dazs Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato

Haagen-Dazs has been doing no favors to my waistline, but in honor of my dear readers (that's you), I'm plodding on with yet another review to add to this week's theme.  As with before, I picked up this fourteen ounce container of Haagen-Dazs Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato at a ridicuously awesome sale price at Kroger for $2.49.  As usual, this container has 3.5 half-cup sized servings and each serving of gelato checks in at 240 calories.  For those of you that are unaware what Amaretto is, it's an almond-flavored Italian liqueur.  Almonds...yum.

Review: Ben & Jerry's Mud Pie Ice Cream

I'm going to let you in on a little secret here:  I drink an occasional alcoholic beverage.  From time to time, one of those beverages may be a coffee mixed with Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur.  So, when wandering through the Meijer ice cream section one day in search of another Ben & Jerry's review topic, I came across this Ben & Jerry's Mud Pie ice cream and seeing that it contained the taste of Irish coffee liqueur, I was immediately interested.  Ben & Jerry's actually describes this one as "Chocolate & Irish Coffee Liqueur Ice Creams Swirled Together with a Chocolate Cookie Swirl" so everything about it seemed appealing to me.  Like I said previously, I picked it up at Meijer and I was able to purchase it on sale for $3.00 for the pint.  The pint, as usual, contains a laughable four servings per pint and there are 270 calories per serving.
