Abandon your diets, all ye who enter here...
I happened on this new Ben & Jerry's flavor yesterday while en route to a pint of their Butter Pecan — my very most favorite ice cream/flavor in the world.
What's this? said I to myself.
As Oscar Wilde wrote in Act I of his 1892 play "Lady Windermere's Fan" — "I can resist anything but temptation."
So I popped for a pint of the Crème Brûlée along with the BP.
Sweet.
Really sweet.
But also crunchy and creamy, so much so that before I could say Bob's your uncle, I was scraping the lid and bottom for one last spoonful.
Fair warning: According to the label there are 1,240 calories inside, of which 640 are from fat.
Supposedly there are "4 servings per container" but darned if I only saw one — and even that seemed too small.

You bet, it's my fave, but hard to find. Also love the Hawaiian Lehua Honey flavor, even though they spell Mauna Loa as Mauna Lau on the inside lid. (At least they used to, I notified them of their error, perhaps they'll fix it.)

This is my favorite B&J hands down.
The caramelized sugar layering is just perfect. It is the only one I can't put back in the freezer.
The Pistachio is second best...but a far second.
