I'm Sorry Phish Food, but . . .

I have a new favorite flavor of ice cream.  As mildly mentioned in one of my earliest posts about orientation, Phish Food is ... was.. my favorite flavor of ice cream.  Needless to say, Ben and Jerry have and will always remain in my heart.  They are true geniuses of flavor combination.  The way they mix chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and caramel swirl and fudgy fish bites to represent the band I knew nothing about until this ice cream, and my current knowledge of them only holds that the ice cream gods have made a flavor after them, so they must be pretty awesome.  That is why it is my pleasure to tell you the replacement and far superior new favorite flavor of ice cream is still a member of the Ben & Jerry's family pint.

It's called Bonnaro Buzz and is described as "Coffee & Malt Ice Creams with Toffee Chunks & a Whiskey Caramel Swirl."  As also mildly mentioned, butter crunch, the nutty cousin of toffee, is my favorite candy.  I've been in love with the dark, sultry flavor of coffee ever since I joined drama club my freshman year of high school.  The the ice cream in itself tasted like tiramisu made the right way, my grandma's way, the way that all other tiramisu will be compared to only to fall short.  Add the giant chunks of toffee and the entire spoonful crunches and melts and smoothes itself over your tongue in a divine flavor that can only be described as all the best of New Year's Eve dessert at my house and so much more.  Get yourself to a supermarket and pick yourself up a pint and experience this new Ben & Jerry's flavor for yourself.
