Darn that Ben, Jerry, and Jimmy
Woman in the Middle | April 29, 2015I do enjoy ice cream on occasion. My favorite kinds have lots and lots of chunks in them. The nearest Baskin Robbins or Dairy Queen is at least 20 minutes from us so, to satisfy my occasional ice cream cravings, I turn to grocery store ice cream. My favorite brand, because of all the chucks, is Ben and Jerry’s. Sometimes there are more chunks than ice cream and that is the way I like it!
Recently we were in the grocery store ice cream aisle and Eldest Daughter mentioned wanting to try a new flavor of Ben and Jerry’s called “The Tonight Dough.” It is a take off on “The Tonight Show.” Get it? It even has Jimmy Fallon’s face on the package. It was created to honor Jimmy’s second season as Tonight Show host. The store didn’t have it at that moment but a couple of weeks later I did see it and brought home a carton. That was a big mistake!
Tonight Dough has, according to the Ben and Jerry’s website, Caramel & Chocolate Ice Creams with Chocolate Cookie Swirls & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. In other words, for me, it is like crack, only legal. Jimmy Fallon said, “We’ve made the best ice dream ever created.” He may be right. After buying the first little tub I had to go out and get a second one, because I had eaten too much f the first one already and Hubby hadn’t gotten any yet.
The only good thing about all of this is that a portion of the proceeds goes to charity SeriousFun Children’s Network. which provides children with serious illnesses and their families with a chance to go camping together. With every spoonful, I can tell myself that I am helping others, not just making my hips bigger!
