Our First Taste of Schweddy Balls - Ben & Jerry's Latest Creation

In the aftermath of the worst natural disaster to hit Vermont since 1927, Ben & Jerry's had the crystalline vision and fortitude to introduce their latest flavor, Schweddy Balls...

Personally, we're a little bit suspicious about the flavor profile, but what the heck. We had to buy it, if just for the name and the marketing behind it! We think it's outrageously funny - the Moral Majority need not apply...

Sooooooo........What do Schweddy Balls taste like??????????????????

Here's the opinion of our expert tasting panel, that being Lisa and me...

• The hint of rum is just that, VERY faint. Lisa is not a fan of rum, so that's OK, but Mike likes rum and was expecting more.
• The malt balls are nice and crunchy, not soggy, but still lack a rum punch.
• We like the ice cream's simplicity. Unlike many of B&J's latest flavors, it's not loaded with lots of goop.

Bottom line, ehh...if you're a fan of vanilla ice cream with some additives, this may be for you. Otherwise, stick with your old favorites. HOWEVER, we love Ben & Jerry's creativity and the name!

Until next time,

Peace, love and BBQ...
