"Chocolate Therapy," never tried it before but it looks
Chocolate ice cream, with chocolate cookies, and swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream.

(3,621 posts)but I've reached the point where I can't really enjoy an ice cream unless it has some contrasting textures in it, be it cookies or pretzels or whatever. I guess that's why I enjoy Ben & Jerry's so much, because it's so "busy."
Speaking of which, I'm going to head out to our big freezer in the garage now because I think there may be some Tonight Dough waiting for me

(5,500 posts)as bad as I am. Try Aldi's 'Make Fudge Not War' and also compare the price of the two. I am a fussy outfit when it comes to food and this Aldi stuff is fabulous. Comes in a pint size.

(34,136 posts)Until Publix introduced their Premium Limited Edition New Orleans Caramel Praline - Brown sugar ice cream with swirls of thick caramel and crunchy praline pecans. They only sell it part of the year but it is addicting.
Another flavor I love but will probably never be able to have again is Orkney Ice Cream Toffee & Orkney Fudge - Nuggety notes of local fudge harmonise with rich toffee tones in a delectable duet of deliciousness. Mostly sold in the Orkney Islands, and just now beginning to be sold in Scotland and part of Northern England. I got to have it three times while we were in the Orkneys in fall 2019 but I am not sure we will ever get back to that part of the world again.

(25,841 posts)Perhaps I'm fortunate that I don't have Publix where I am, and am not very likely to get to the Orkneys or even England in the foreseeable future.
I guess I'll just have to console myself with more Butter Pecan.

(990 posts)Jennis is my go to for a splurgey treat. $$$ but so good. Next would be Graeters Black Raspberry with Chocolate Chunks or Dairy Queen butterscotch dipped cone. None of them pass my lips often, but when they do, I enjoy every single bite.
