Here they are in no particular order:<\/p>\n<h3>Strawberry Topped Tart<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Sweet cream ice cream with strawberry swirls &#038; pie crust pieces topped with white chocolatey ganache &#038; candy sprinkles.&#8221; <\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Strawberry-Topped-Tart-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Strawberry Topped Tart Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Strawberry Topped Tart Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pulling back the lid reveals the prettiest start to a Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s pint EVER. The red and green candy sprinkles on the white ganache look like gems on snow. It&#8217;s a shame I had to destroy it.<\/p>\n<p>Even though those candy sprinkles are basically sugar clots, they&#8217;re the pint&#8217;s highlight. I can&#8217;t get their crunch out of my mind. It&#8217;s at a level that I&#8217;ve never experienced with a Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s pint. These need to be in other varieties. They don&#8217;t add any real flavor, but I love how their texture contrasts the creamy ice cream.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Strawberry-Topped-Tart-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Strawberry Topped Tart Split\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Strawberry Topped Tart Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the candy sprinkles sparkle in numerous ways, the pie crust pieces are this flavor&#8217;s lowlight because they&#8217;re really dry. It&#8217;s at a level that I&#8217;ve never experienced with a Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s pint. (Yes, I stole the line from the previous paragraph.) They do add a bit of flavor, but it doesn&#8217;t enhance the other ingredients. <\/p>\n<p>The strawberry swirls are plentiful and potent enough that I kept thinking this was made with strawberry ice cream instead of sweet cream. The white chocolatey ganache&#8217;s flavor reminds me of white chocolate M&#038;M&#8217;s. So all the non-pie crust components combined taste like strawberry-flavored white chocolate M&#038;M&#8217;s, and the candy sprinkles provide a crunch similar to an M&#038;M&#8217;s candy shell.<\/p>\n<p>I want to give this a higher score because I love the flavor and sprinkles&#8217; texture, but the pie crust pieces were a real downer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 350 calories, 19 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 80 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 36 grams of sugar (including 31 grams of added sugar), and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>Thick Mint<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Mint ice cream with chocolate cookie swirls and mint chocolate cookie balls topped with chocolate cookies and chocolatey ganache.&#8221; <\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Thick-Mint-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Thick Mint Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Thick Mint Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OHHHHHHHHH!!! I get it now. It&#8217;s somehow a play on Thin Mints,&#8221; is what I said out loud after wondering how this flavor got its name for a duration of time I will never admit. My wife followed that up with a &#8220;Duh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m obviously thick in the head. <\/p>\n<p>Do the kids still say that?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re someone who stores Girl Scout Thin Mints in the freezer, then Thick Mint is a flavor you might want to place right next to those frozen minty chocolate cookies. The mint ice cream and mint chocolate cookie balls are roughly the same mintiness as the iconic cookie. The cookie balls&#8217; crispiness is about the same as the popular cookie. Even the ganache will have you thinking about Thin Mints&#8217; chocolatey coating. It takes everything that&#8217;s great about Thin Mints and expands it into a pint of ice cream. OHHHHHHHHH!!!! I get it even more now&#8230;Thick Mint.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Thick-Mint-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Thick Mint Split\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Thick Mint Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look, I know Girl Scout Thin Mints have been recreated in frozen treat form numerous times, most notable by Breyers. But, because I avoid Breyers products like I avoid admitting it took me several days to realize it&#8217;s a play on Thin Mints (DAMMIT!), I can&#8217;t compare this with that. But, because it&#8217;s Breyers, I&#8217;m pretty sure Thick Mint is a gajillion times better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 420 calories, 26 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 100 milligrams of sodium, 43 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 36 grams of sugar (including 31 grams of added sugar), and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Chocolate ice cream with caramel swirls &#038; gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough topped with caramel cups &#038; chocolatey ganache.&#8221; <\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Chocolate-Caramel-Cookie-Dough-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but look at the words &#8220;Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough&#8221; on the container and think their font sizes don&#8217;t represent the individual components&#8217; impact. Because caramel plays a small role in the flavor, while the chocolate is a choco-lot.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the font sizes are just font sizes, unless Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s graphics department wants to say otherwise. But I needed some way to make this review seem longer than it really should be because I can sum up this flavor with the following statement: Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough mostly tastes like what I imagine a Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream would taste like.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, with the ganache layer, it&#8217;s more like Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Chocolate-Caramel-Cookie-Dough-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough Split\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;But there are caramel swirls and cups.&#8221; Oh, the caramel cups on top the ganache are like mini Rolo. I can taste and feel their sweet, buttery innards ooze out when I crack them open with my teeth. But as you can see in the photo above, I didn&#8217;t get many. As for the swirls, I see and feel them, but don&#8217;t notice any caramel flavor when I&#8217;m scooping out anything below the ganache layer into my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I&#8217;m happy with having a pint with chocolate ice cream and chocolate chip cookie dough. But I wish the caramel stood out more. Although, not as much as the number of times the word &#8220;chocolate&#8221; appears in this review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 420 calories, 26 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 100 milligrams of sodium, 43 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 36 grams of sugar (including 31 grams of added sugar), and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>Salted Caramel Brownie<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls &#038; fudge brownies topped with caramel cups &#038; chocolatey ganache.&#8221; <\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Salted-Caramel-Brownie-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Salted Caramel Brownie Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Salted Caramel Brownie Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking at the Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough one at a store, but think, &#8220;I&#8217;d like a version of that, except the chocolate ice cream and cookie dough are replaced with vanilla ice cream and brownies,&#8221; then shift your eyes a few degrees because there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll see this flavor that meets your sweet needs.<\/p>\n<p>The carton describes it as a &#8220;sundae in a pint,&#8221; and I agree. With the chocolate ganache, fudge brownies, and vanilla ice cream being the most notable components, it reminds me of a hot fudge sundae. The brownies provide a nice fudgy flavor and chewy texture.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Salted-Caramel-Brownie-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Salted Caramel Brownie Split\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Salted Caramel Brownie Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, but what about the caramel, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>My experience with it in this pint is almost the same as Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough. Although this time, the ganache was topped with more caramel cups. But I couldn&#8217;t detect the sweet and salty swirls, even though they were in the milder tasting vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>I hate to give this a 6 out of 10 because I&#8217;d eat this 10 out of 10 times if this was the only Topped variety. But it&#8217;s not, and out of all of them, this one was the least exciting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 370 calories, 19 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 45 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 37 grams of sugar (including 32 grams of added sugar), and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>Tiramisu<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Mascarpone ice cream with fudge swirls &#038; shortbread pieces topped with espresso fudge chunks &#038; chocolatey ganache.&#8221; <\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Tiramisu-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Tiramisu Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Tiramisu Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Full disclosure:<\/strong> You&#8217;re not going to get a full cross-section of this flavor like with the previous pints because I ate it with reckless abandon. After the first bite, I decided I was gonna tear-mi-sum tiramisu ice cream. And I did. And I went overboard. And now you have to look at a partially eaten cross-section of my gluttony below. But I guess it also shows how much I love this. <\/p>\n<p>It has the Italian dessert&#8217;s flavors &#8212; coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa. I also notice something that I think could be liquor, but I might be confusing it with the espresso. Although it tastes like the dessert, the coffee isn&#8217;t as potent as an actual tiramisu.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Tiramisu-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Tiramisu Split\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Tiramisu Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You might think once the espresso fudge chunks are gone, then the coffee flavors goes away. Oh no, that&#8217;s not the case, my coffee-loving friend. According to the container, there&#8217;s &#8220;captivating coffee character&#8221; in the fudge swirls, and my taste buds do notice it. And my taste buds don&#8217;t lie, even though they&#8217;re a part of my mouth, which does a lot of lying. But I&#8217;m telling the truth when I say this is my favorite of the bunch.<\/p>\n<p>Almost a decade ago, Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s offered another tiramisu-flavored variety, the Target-exclusive, Volun-tiramisu. It had a simpler combination of coffee mascarpone ice cream with cocoa dusted coffee rum lady finger pieces. But if you tira-miss-su that, this Topped version is an excellent replacement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 370 calories, 21 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 110 milligrams of sodium, 43 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 37 grams of sugar (including 31 grams of added sugar), and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>Whiskey Biz<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Brown butter bourbon ice cream with blonde brownies &#038; whiskey caramel swirls topped with white chocolatey ganache &#038; white fudge chunks.&#8221;<\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Whiskey-Biz-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Whiskey Biz Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Whiskey Biz Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>WhistlePig whiskey.

What is WhistlePig whiskey? It&#8217;s what&#8217;s mixed in with the caramel swirls in this pint.<\/p>\n<p>I could give you the long story about who WhistlePig is. But instead, I&#8217;ll just tell you it&#8217;s a distillery, and it&#8217;s located in Vermont. Oh, hey, that&#8217;s where Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s is. <\/p>\n<p>According to the ice cream company, the whiskey used is called PiggyBack Rye, which, according to WhistlePig&#8217;s website, has cocoa, cardamom, and cured leather flavors. It also finishes with spices, vanilla, and hints of citrus. I got none of that while eating the caramel swirls, but they taste boozier than what I remember previous whiskey caramel swirls were like. Although that&#8217;s might be because it&#8217;s combined with the brown butter bourbon base. Oh, I should clarify there&#8217;s no alcohol content, so you can&#8217;t get tipsy from Whiskey Biz.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-Whiskey-Biz-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream Whiskey Biz Split\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream Whiskey Biz Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The blonde brownies add a slight brown sugary kick and a chewy texture. As for the white chocolatey ganache and white fudge chunks, as lovely as they are, I kind of wish they were omitted. I really love the flavor combination of the ice cream base, brownies, and whiskey caramel swirls, but the toppings, which again reminds me of white chocolate M&#038;M&#8217;s, mutes that boozy combo. So I found myself putting the top layer aside and eating it separately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 410 calories, 23 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 38 grams of sugar (including 32 grams of added sugar), and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>PB Over the Top<\/h3>\n<p><em> &#8220;Chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls &#038; peanut butter cups topped with mini peanut butter cups &#038; chocolatey ganache.&#8221; <\/em><\/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\/2021\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-Topped-Ice-Cream-PB-Over-the-Top-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben  Jerry s Topped Ice Cream PB Over the Top Top\" title=\"Ben &#038; Jerry's Topped Ice Cream PB Over the Top Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you look at this flavor, you might think this pint is misnamed because it appears there&#8217;s a lot more chocolate than peanut butter.
