Ranking Ben and Jerrys Flavors #10-6

Here we go, the top ten. Needless to say, these are amazing flavors that I routinely buy when I can.

10. Red Velvet Cake: Based off the popular cake flavor, this is red velvet cake batter ice cream, with red velvet cake pieces and a cream cheese swirl. The red velvet ice cream tastes incredible, one of the best, most unique base flavors of ice cream I have ever had. The cake pieces dont add a ton of taste, but add a perfect chewy texture to the ice cream base. The wild card is the cream cheese swirl. its too subtle, if it were just a little more prevalent, this would be a top 5 flavor easily.
9. Phish Food: This is one of those chocolate rich flavors I did not think I would enjoy, but I was very wrong. Chocolate ice cream with fudge fish pieces, a marshmallow swirl, and a caramel swirl. A busy flavor that all comes together to create something special. Caramel, marshmallow and chocolate in one pint is a great and unique combo, and the fish shaped fudge pieces are a fun addition, and adds a hard mix in to offset all the swirls.

8. Cinnamon Buns: Cinnamon ice cream with a cinnamon swirl and cinnamon bun dough pieces. The swirl tastes perfect and the cinnamon dough is incredible as well. The only thing that sets this farther back than the 7 ahead of it is that cinnamon just isnt my favorite flavor when it comes to ice cream.
7. Chocolate Peppermint Crunch: A new flavor for 2013, chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered wafer cookies, a fudge swirl, and a peppermint swirl. The wafer cookies are amazing, like mini kit kats inside of ice cream. The fudge swirls dont add a whole lot, but the peppermint swirl sure does. Minty ice cream with mini kit kats? yes please.
6. Peanut Butter Jam session: Another new 2013 flavor, this one replaces Berry Voluntary seen previously in the countdown. Weve seen Snickers, Reeses, Cinnamon Buns, and other in ice cream form. This one is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in ice cream form. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Peanut butter ice cream with Peanut butter swirls and raspberry swirls. The only gripe is the raspberry swirls are too subtle. If they were more prevalent, this would be a top 3 flavor.
