Review: Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core Ice Cream

So yeah, I eat a lot of Ben & Jerry's.  I've had over thirty flavors that I've done reviews for on this blog, but in the grand scheme of their flavors over the years, that's not a lot.  For one guy though, I think eating that many would probably put me outside the norm.  Comes with the territory as a reviewer, I guess.  Anyway, to add to the number of flavors that I've tried, I picked up a pint of this Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core Ice Cream on sale at Kroger for $2.99.  Each pint contains the customary four half-cup servings and each serving is a not-so-healthy 290 calories.

Also, I went into this pint thinking I had no idea what a Speculoos cookie was.  Apparently, I was wrong and I've reviewed something with speculoos before in a Haagen-Dazs review (oohh, a competitor!).  I guess it's hard to remember things when you eat such a variety and have done over one thousand reviews.  In my very weak defense, it was over two years ago and speculoos weren't even part of the name of the flavor.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Spiced Caramel Biscuit Ice Cream

I don't know why, but I've always stayed away from reviewing Haagen-Dazs products for the blog.  Actually, I don't even buy them at the store either and I'm not sure why.  Maybe it's because I'm angry that their "pints" are only fourteen ounces or that it costs an arm and a leg to buy one (it's probably the latter).  My local Marsh ran a sale recently where it was buy two containers and get a third free, so finally with a deal like that, I was able to get these down to a range where I wouldn't have to take a bank loan just to purchase one.  So, I took the leap and that leads me to this limited edition product review of the Haagen-Dazs Spiced Caramel Biscuit Ice Cream.  Each container is fourteen ounces, which equates to 3.5 half-cup servings.  Each serving itself had a robust and completely unhealthy (par for the course with Haagen-Dazs) 290 calories per serving.  This may be off the shelves in your area by now as my Marsh usually keeps things too long (looking at some of their expiration dates is sometimes an adventure), but I'll just go ahead and add my thoughts to the long list of online reviews already done on this (links at the end of this post).
