Ben & Jerry's

As per our tradition, when I go out with my mom each week, we like to find a new restaurant and a new place to get dessert. For dessert this week, we stopped in to Ben and Jerry's (I'd never known that they had an actual storefront in Ohio before today!), and I'm glad we did. My mom got a two scoop ice cream cone, one of Chocolate Brownie (Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge Brownies), and the other of the new flavor Ultraviolet (Vanilla Ice Cream with Marshmallow Swirls, Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies & Fudge Flakes). And I got a Caramel Macchiato shake (Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz and Triple Caramel Chunk). Mom said that while the Ultraviolet was good, the Chocolate Brownie was the truly great flavor, and the Ultraviolet was a bit bland next the richness of it. My shake was absolutely delicious, with the coffee and espresso bean brownie bits (which were a particularly unexpected treat to enjoy) giving a kick that I loved, and loved even more because the most bitter edges of it were smoothed out (so to speak) by the chunks and swirls of caramel. Very tasty, and we'll definitely visit again when we're in the area.
