Limited Batch Ben & Jerry’s Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road Ice Cream
Limited Batch Ben & Jerry’s Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road Ice Cream is a special ice cream flavor that was originally released as a one week flavor in honor of Elton John’s first trip to Vermont and to raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF). Due to popular demand the flavor is coming back with the slogan “The Batch is Back,” which is a play on the Elton John song “The Bitch is Back.” The flavor itself, Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road, is also a play on an Elton John song title (”Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”). The limited batch of the flavor is expected to be available mid-May 2009 through the summer 2009, which I assume means August or Labor Day. The flavor is available in Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops and will also be available in pint size in retailers across the country that carry Ben & Jerry’s pints.
Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road ice cream has a chocolate ice cream base. Mixed in the ice cream is peanut butter cookie dough, brickle candy pieces, and white chocolatey chunks. I am not really a fan of chocolate ice cream, although my favorite Ben & Jerry’s is Phish Food, so the mix ins really can make even chocolate ice cream something I will eat. This one does sound like it has some good mix ins, especially the peanut butter cookie dough. I will admit, though, that I had absolutely no idea what the heck brickle candy pieces were until I Googled it and found out they are basically toffee bits, which sounds okay as a mix in, too.
