Ice Cream Lovers,

I had this last night to sit down and enjoy with the Eurovision Song Contest. I love Ben and Jerry’s flavour combinations. As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to try it because my regular followers will know how much I love sweet and salty flavours.

Ben and Jerry's Chip Happens

"A cold mess of chocolate ice cream, chocolatey chunks, and crunchy potato chip swirls. This Limited Batch — er, Limited Botch! — ice cream flavour celebrates everybody’s favourite Netflix competitive baking show: Nailed It! We know a thing or two about delicious failures. After all, we have an entire Flavour Graveyard devoted to our failed (but still totally delicious) ice cream flavours. And there’s nothing quite as delicious as a show all about high hopes, misplaced fondant and edible masterpieces. Dig into a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chip Happens as you watch contestants navigate a series of intricate baking challenges with hilarious consequences. We get it: making desserts isn’t as easy as it looks. That’s why we have a team of Flavour Gurus who make sure that all our flavours are the peak of ice cream perfection. It was their idea to give this pint a swirl of crunchy potato chips, and trust us, it’s truly inspired. Sweet and salty are a match made in dessert heaven, and we grab a scoop every time we watch our favourite hilarious epic baking fails on Nailed It! Chip Happens is made with Fairtrade certified cocoa, sugar, and vanilla, eggs from free-range hens, and sustainably sourced dairy. It comes packaged in responsibly sourced packaging, so you can feel good about every messy bite."

I couldn’t wait to eat this ice cream. I left it for ten minutes to let it get soft before I dived in. The chocolate ice cream was very chocolatey and it had quite thick chunks of chocolate scattered inside the ice cream. I’m pretty sure it was plain chocolate. I struggled to taste any of the potato chip swirls though. When I did eventually come across some, there wasn’t much of a crunch at all and all I could taste was salt. There was a hint of potato taste but literally it was like swirls of a thick salt spread. It wasn’t very nice at all. I shared this with my husband and we didn’t even get through half of the tub before I said I didn’t like it and did he mind if I threw it away. He didn’t mind at all. He wasn’t impressed with it whatsoever.

Yuck, just yuck! This is the worst ice cream I’ve ever had in my whole entire life! The chocolate ice cream was yum and so were the chocolate chunks. The salty potato swirl ruined it. Just a horrible salty mess. The flavours did not work well together at all. I’ve had many salty sweet treats in my time, but this one is just so wrong! For someone who loves sweet and salt together, this is certainly one to miss. I don’t know who gave this one the green light. It was disgusting!
