Ben and Jerry's Colin Kaepernick's CHANGE THE WHIRLED

Dear Sillies,

The warm weather provides excuse for my latest indulgence. As do you. 

So here I am with some Ben and Jerry's Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert. As labeled, it packs "caramel with fudge chips, graham cracker swirls and chocolate cookie swirls." I know, right? But hear me out: It's NON-DAIRY and thus well, never mind. It's not at all healthy. It's healthier than ice cream, however, and I wouldn't have guessed it's non-dairy. 

The base tastes like smooth butter cream. The swirled chocolate-graham cracker-cookie mix tastes divine. I have no words, except to say I'd take a knee for it. It earns a 9 on my 1-10 scale.  







Stay sweet, cool, and silly, my dears. xo

Justice Remix'd Ice Cream, A Ben & Jerry's Creation

Dear Sillies,
   When all else fails, there's ice cream. Plus, it's always nice when I come upon a new reason to indulge...for your benefit. You deserve the best. That's Ben and Jerry's, right? So I grabbed this off the shelves (and paid for it too - $3.99) - Justice Remix'd, "Cinnamon and Chocolate ice creams with gobs of cinnamon bun dough and spicy fudge brownies." 
    Our criminal justice system is far from perfect. You can help create positive change by eating this ice cream! [A portion of profits go towards criminal justice reform.]

Before digging in, I watched a few popular reviewers' Youtube videos on this ice cream.
Here's a summary: "This is dope!"

"Well, if you eat the dark chocolate part you taste dark, and if you go for the vanilla, you taste vanilla." *This astute observation was expressed by a woman in Kentucky. Note: There's no vanilla flavor, nor is there "dark" flavor. I decided I could perhaps give a more informative review. 

My take: 
   The cinnamon is a bit too  overpowering. The cinnamon bun dough, though, tastes divine. As for the chocolate part, I wanted to delight in a more hearty chocolate fudge brownie taste. I loved both, separately, but they aren't mixed in this Remix, and there's nothing particularly harmonious about the pairing. 
   I kinda find it ironic that "Justice Remix" has distinctly segregated flavors. B&J simply threw together already developed recipes. 
   I don't know how justice should look or taste. But I can't imagine they landed with this one.    
   That said, I loved it and finished it too quickly. 
   I give Ben and Jerry's Justice Remix'd a 7.5 on a 1-10 scale.

  
Have you tried this? Want to try it? Thoughts on how justice should look or taste?

May you have a sweet and spicy day, my Dear Sillies.
