Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy

By -
Sometimes you just need to stay in on a Friday night with only yourself, Netflix, and a pint of ice cream.  Sometimes your boyfriend breaks up with you (or you with him, that asshole!) and you need to watch chick flicks, eat ice cream, and cry with your best friend.  In times like these, the chocolatier the ice cream the better.  This is where Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy comes in.  Described as

Chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookies and swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream.

 This ice cream is there for you no matter what.  A helping hand.  A shoulder to cry on.  It will help you move, it will help you forget you failed that math test.  When you need a friend, look no further than Chocolate Therapy.  It's ok.  We've all done it.  Just let it out and have a good cry over a pint of ice cream.

I had this ice cream this weekend, and it was just what I needed to temporarily forget my bottomless woe that summer is coming to and end and school is starting.  I don't want to take classes.  I don't want to teach classes.  I want to dance and read and lie on a beach forever.  Please.



Anyhoo, this ice cream is fucking fantastic.  Ben and Jerry's got right down to business and shoved as much chocolate as they possibly could into a pint of ice cream.  I love Ben and Jerry's chocolate base, and it was made even richer by the chocolate pudding ice cream swirl.  I couldn't necessarily discern by sight or taste where the swirl was, but I could tell it was there because this ice cream did taste more chocolatey than a normal chocolate base.   The chocolate cookie mix-ins were abundant and large.  The cookie chunks were perfectly chewy, forcing you to slow down a bit and forcing you to draw out your enjoyment of the pint.  Definitely not a bad thing.

Comparison Post: Haagen-Dazs Vanilla vs Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean

Ok peeps, does anybody else think its a bit weird that Haagen-Dazs makes a Vanilla ice cream and a Vanilla Bean ice cream? Like, is that really necessary? Regardless, it is my duty as your guide to the ice cream world to try both flavors and report back. First, the description.  I'm taking the full paragraph from the website because it gives more info about the supposed differences between the two flavors. Vanilla: Vanilla is the essence of elegance and sophistication. This marriage of pure, sweet cream and Madagascar vanilla creates the sweet scent of exotic spice and a distinctive taste that lingers on the tongue. Vanilla Bean: A unique twist to our iconic flavor.  Our ice cream blends Madagascar vanilla and pure, sweet cream with flecks of real vanilla beans, for a spicy and sweet delight. Do we all agree that Haagen-Dazs' descriptions are bordering on florid here? Just wow.  So the descriptions have got me all hopped up and raring to eat some ice cream, but let

Nestle Drumstick, The Original Sundae Cone

Every once in a while you've just gotta have a classic. For me, and for many others, drumsticks are reminiscent of childhood summers and the ice cream truck coming by. I have memories of drumsticks being really, really tasty and exciting. But before I review them, lets have a little history lesson. And by history lesson, no I do not mean me talking about my childhood; I do not think I am yet old enough that I can call my childhood "history". (Although my students are often baffled that not only am I older than Facebook, I am also older than YouTube!!) What I do mean is a history lesson on waffle cones and drumsticks. As legend has it, at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, an ice cream maker ran out of bowls to serve ice cream in. Next to him was a waffle vendor. The ice cream guy asked the waffle guy for some waffles, and served his ice cream in rolled up waffles instead of bowls. And the waffle cone was born! Twenty four years later, the Parker bro

Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill'd

Really. A blog post. Literally 2 years to the day after the last blog post. (Srs, I did not plan that.) In that time I (Madeline) defended my thesis, so you can now call us Dr. Big Muddy Ice Cream Blog, thank you very much. So it's 2020. All through 2019 we joked that the year was a dumpster fire. Little did we know. We're in the midst of a global pandemic, Australia burned to the ground, March lasted 23 years, Kobe Bryant died, Donald Trump was not impeached, Megxit Megxited, my personal life is somewhat of a shit show, all of our mental health is a complete and total joke, so I decided now is the perfect time to write an ice cream blog post because ice cream is LITERALLY the only light left in the world. Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill'd came out at the beginning of the year, and I finally found it in Minneapolis. It is Peanut butter ice cream with sweet and salty pretzel swirls and fudge brownies. If you are not familiar with the term Netflix and Ch
