Advantages: Lots of nuts

Disadvantages: Gritty ice cream

Normally I would be preparing to sit down to write a gushing tribute to another great Ben and Jerrys ice cream as I have always loved their stuff however unfortunately that is not the case with this particular offerring as it was rather average which given the generally premium price nature of this product is not good enough as you would expect better from them given that it is £3.99 or a 500ml pot in some shops.

It comes in the usual cardboard carton style with the colourful funky style you expect of Ben and Jerry's.

The ice crean is a blend of chocolate and vanilla flavours however it is the chocolate which is the dominant flavour and it was the ice cream that I found to be a bit gritty and not as smooth in texture or flavour that you usually expect, maybe I had a rogue tub but both my partner and I had the same opinion of this ice cream. It is best to let the ice cream stabnd for a few minutes before serving when taken straight from the freezer.

The macademia nuts are plentiful and coated in chocolate and they give the whole thing a nice crunch when you get one in your mouth. Definatly not suitable for those with nut allergies or trying to control your wait as it is loaded with calories.

Summary: Below par effort from BJ
