<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ben & Jerry’s first wave of Core ice creams consisted of ice cream surrounding a core of ooey, gooey stuff that was sort of like eating a sundae straight out of the pint.<\/p>\n
The idea was pure genius and highly successful, if you ask my freezer, which currently contains three pints of the stuff. If you ask my freezer, also inquire as to what’s in the Ziploc in the back of it, because I forgot to label it before I threw it in there and now I’m scared because I think it’s been in there for some years and I should probably just throw it away.<\/p>\n
Now they’ve come out with three different Cookie Core varieties. The <\/a>Boom Chocolatta version sounded like way too much chocolate for my taste, and I still don’t really understand what <\/a>Speculoos are, so I figured my best bet would be to try Peanut Buttah Cookie Core.<\/p>\n Ben & Jerry’s describes it as \u201cPeanut Butter Ice Cream with Crunchy Peanut Butter Sugar Bits, Peanut Butter Cookies & a Peanut Butter Cookie Core\u201d. This raised Peanut Buttah above just \u201cdefault flavor\u201d status, because just reading that description probably made those with peanut allergies reach for their EpiPen.<\/p>\n Speaking of EpiPens, have you ever seen the commercial that advertises them? \u201cAsk your doctor about EpiPen today!\u201d What person with a severe allergy doesn’t already know about EpiPens<\/i>? I imagine someone watching the commercial and saying to themselves, \u201cWait, you mean I don’t have to take an ambulance ride to the emergency room with my throat closed up every time I accidentally eat something that came in contact with shellfish? This is amazing, and I’m going to get a new doctor since I should have heard about this years ago!\u201d<\/p>\n Sorry, I just had to share that. It’s been bugging me for a while now.<\/p>\n I’ve always considered the gold standard of peanut butter cookies to be my mom’s, who always baked them at Christmas time. Since you probably haven’t tried my mom’s homemade cookies, I give second place to Grandma’s brand, which has the bonus of being available year-round but doesn’t make the kitchen smell awesome.<\/p>\n All other peanut butter cookies pale in comparison, and I hate the taste of artificial peanut butter flavoring, so I approached Peanut Buttah Cookie Core with caution. I also wondered why we had to go with the unnecessarily dorky \u201cButtah\u201d.<\/p>\n The only weak explanation is the description on the carton: \u201cFor p.b. fans & cookie spread-heads who want it all, here\u2019s a flavor that delivers it, from the creamy to the crunchy to the peanutty core of crushed-cookie stuff that spreads like buttah (and tastes even bettah).\u201d I feel like New Yorkers are going to be insulted by this mockery of their accents. Then again, they do love insults. Eeeey!<\/p>\n I’m happy to report that every bite of Peanut Buttah Cookie Core is the essence of all that is good about peanut butter cookies. The ice cream alone tastes like it, but I dare you to catch a bite that doesn’t contain some evenly-dispersed chunks of delicious peanut butter cookie.<\/p>\n The same goes for the \u201ccrunchy peanut butter sugar bits\u201d, that strike me as more grainy than crunchy. \u201cGrainy\u201d doesn’t usually sound like a positive descriptor for food, but in this case it’s representative of the sugar bits that are big enough to crunch and add an extra layer of texture to the ice cream.<\/p>\n As for the core, it’s like the distilled essence of a peanut butter cookie. Smooth yet crunchy, cookie yet buttery, it is rich, delicious and everything that a Cookie Core should be.<\/p>\n I only have two complaints about Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Buttah Cookie Core Ice Cream. The first is that it comes off as having only one note of flavor. Trust me, if you love peanut butter cookies, you’ll love<\/i> this ice cream. And the various textures come through in each bite. But it lacks the mishmash of flavors that Ben & Jerry’s is so well-known for.<\/p>\n The second is that it’s so rich<\/i>. With all that peanut butter cookie going on, after just a few spoonfuls I felt like I’d already overindulged. This may not be a problem for some, but to me, I could only eat it in small doses.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 1\/2 cup \u2014 320 calories, 190 calories from fat, 21 grams of total fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 140 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of total carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 20 grams of sugar, 6 grams of protein, 8% vitamin A, 10% calcium, 2% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n Item:<\/b> Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Buttah Cookie Core Ice Cream Ben & Jerry’s first wave of Core ice creams consisted of ice cream surrounding a core of ooey, gooey stuff that was sort of like eating a sundae straight out of the pint.
