For example, it turned Chubby Hubby (vanilla malt ice cream with peanutty fudge-covered pretzels and fudge and peanut buttery swirls) into Tubby Hubby (peanut butter ice cream with sweet and salty pretzel swirls and fudge swirls). <\/p>\n<p>While the original S\u2019mores Ice Cream features chocolate ice cream with fudge chunks, toasted marshmallow, and graham cracker swirls, this upended s\u2019mores has toasted marshmallow ice cream with chocolate cookie swirls, graham cracker swirls, and fudge flakes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve eaten Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s S\u2019mores and find it to be heavy on the chocolate. While this new s\u2019mores variety has a noticeable chocolatiness, the use of the toasted marshmallow ice cream and graham cracker swirl help balance the flavor. By itself, the base is vanilla-ish with a tinge of something else.<\/p>\n<p>But what I like about Gimme S\u2019more are the swirls, and there were a lot of them in my pint. They say too much of a good thing is bad for you. Well, if those folks eat this ice cream, they will also eat their words. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ben-Jerrys-Limited-Batch-Gimme-Smore-Ice-Cream-2.jpg?resize=599%2C446&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Limited Batch Gimme S more Ice Cream 2\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Limited Batch Gimme S'more Ice Cream 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"446\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, as I dug through the container, I\u2019d occasionally come across the graham cracker one, but most of them were the chocolate cookie swirls, which give off an Oreo vibe. Because the latter dominates the pint and the base is similar to vanilla, as a whole it tastes like a better cookies and cream ice cream. <\/p>\n<p>As for the fudge flakes, they\u2019re now fudge shards, and I did a little dance when I realized that. Okay, not a little dance. I jumped up, screamed \u201cYES,\u201d pumped my fists, and thrust my hips at a rhythm matching my yelling of \u201cThat. Is. How. It. Should. Be.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As long as I can remember, fudge flakes were more like fudge plates. They were these half-inch long rectangles that, if you scooped one up, would dominate whatever else was on your spoon. I\u2019ve complained they are larger than they should be, but in this flavor, they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as if Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s reads my reviews. Hi, Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s!<\/p>\n<p>Gimme S\u2019more doesn\u2019t make me think of s\u2019mores, but neither did the original S\u2019mores Ice Cream. Despite that and the fact it tastes like cookies and cream, I found myself quickly eating through the pint. It\u2019s not s\u2019mores to me, but I do want s\u2019more of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free sample from Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s.
