\"Ben<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben & Jerry\u2019s flavors that are exclusive to one store or area carry a strong sense of injustice, for me at least. I saw a flavor last year that was <\/a>exclusive to Texas. It\u2019s like, hey, what\u2019s wrong with (insert other 49 states here)!? You think you\u2019re better than us?<\/p>\n

Driving to Texas for an exclusive flavor is one thing, but it\u2019s frustrating enough when I can\u2019t go to my precious Wegmans to get a certain flavor and I have to go to a Target or Walmart instead. Bleh! <\/p>\n

Even though Pecan Sticky Buns sounded really enticing, the thought of going to a Walmart in Rochester sounded anything but. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d been to one in a good two years. I hadn\u2019t had sticky buns in a few years either, not since the last time I attended an adult caramel party. Think of the party from Eyes Wide Shut<\/i>, only a lot weirder and with a lot more caramel. <\/p>\n

\"Ben<\/a><\/p>\n

With this ice cream, Ben & Jerry’s did a really good job with getting certain flavors of an actual sticky bun down. The buttery brown sugar ice cream was pretty accurate. You definitely get a strong brown sugar flavor with this. I know because I used to pour a pound of brown sugar into my oatmeal when I was little. <\/p>\n

There are chunks of sticky bun dough to further nail the brown swirly ooey-gooey parts of the sticky buns. You know what I mean. The sticky bun dough chunks were exactly like the cinnamon bun dough chunks from Ben & Jerry\u2019s Cinnamon Bun flavor, which I\u2019m not even sure is a flavor anymore. I know they have different names, but I\u2019m suspicious they were the same exact chunks. Think they tried to sneak one by us here.<\/p>\n

\"Ben<\/a><\/p>\n

The pecans were ridiculously flavorful. They appeared to be normal pecans but they tasted like those cinnamon roasted one you get at a baseball game or festival. They had that boiled in something sweet taste and it is pretty magnificent. I mean, there are not many things that wouldn\u2019t be delicious if you boiled them in cinnamon. I bet Hannibal Lector boiled some of his victims in cinnamon before going to Chowtown. I just know there\u2019s a deleted scene of that. Probably.<\/p>\n

Lastly, there\u2019s a cream cheese frosting swirl whose presence in a bite will always surprise you because it blends in perfectly with the ice cream. The swirls aren\u2019t very thick, which was nice because you don\u2019t get surprise flavor slammed by cream cheese, and they are a nice touch as they take you away from the cinnamon taste for a second. <\/p>\n

Overall, it\u2019s a good concoction, but it is SUPER rich, even for Ben & Jerry\u2019s. I’ve had other exclusive Walmart flavors, but they were subpar (I’m looking at you, <\/a>Cotton Candy). This one was worth the trip.<\/p>\n
