It adds a bit of flavor when it needs to but for the most part joins together with all the other elements and lets them shine through.<\/p>\n<p>The fudge chips add great crunch as they seem to be the last to succumb to melting when outside of the freezer environment. There is also a lot of chocolate going on when you are eating it but just when you think you\u2019ve had too much you get a pecan piece that balances out the chocolate overload while adding another flavor dimension for you to enjoy. Both the fudge chips and pecan pieces were present in healthy amounts throughout.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Ben-Jerrys-Truffle-Kerfuffle-Ice-Cream-3.jpeg?resize=648%2C442&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"442\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-43791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Ben-Jerrys-Truffle-Kerfuffle-Ice-Cream-3.jpeg?resize=1024%2C698&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Ben-Jerrys-Truffle-Kerfuffle-Ice-Cream-3.jpeg?resize=300%2C205&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Ben-Jerrys-Truffle-Kerfuffle-Ice-Cream-3.jpeg?resize=768%2C524&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Ben-Jerrys-Truffle-Kerfuffle-Ice-Cream-3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The star of this concoction, though, is indubitably the salted chocolate ganache swirl. It\u2019s thick, rich and absolutely delicious. The very on-trend salt plus chocolate flavor is executed wonderfully here. It goes together perfectly with the sweet of the vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t already tell, I absolutely dug this ice cream, and yes, pun intended. However, this time around I didn\u2019t necessarily feel like a truffle hog from just my searching expedition.
