<br />
BRENHAM, Texas, July 13, 2017 – Celebrate National Ice Cream Day on July 16, with a new flavor from Blue Bell that is sure to satisfy your sweet and salty cravings. And, did we mention this ice cream packs quite a crunch, too?<br />
<br />

Sweet ‘n Salty Crunch, a delicious vanilla ice cream loaded with chocolate-coated pretzel bites, chopped roasted almonds and milk chocolate chunks, arrives in stores this week.<br />
<br />
“Our new flavor was inspired by the popular snack mixes that combine sweet and salty foods,” said Wayne Hugo, vice president of sales and marketing for Blue Bell. “When developing Sweet ‘n Salty Crunch we tried many different recipes, and combinations of ingredients. But in the end, the mixture of chocolate, pretzels and almonds in a vanilla ice cream received rave reviews from our taste panels”Sweet ‘n Salty Crunch will be available in the half gallon and pint sizes for a limited time.<br />
<br />
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. Each year Blue Bell celebrates with the release of a new flavor. Ice cream fans were dancing in the aisles in 2016, with the introduction of Cookie Two Step, a creamy vanilla ice cream with hints of brown sugar, combined with chunks of chocolate crème filled cookies and tasty chocolate chip cookie dough pieces. Cookie Two Step returned to stores in June.<br />

Salted caramel whirls and swirls its way through sweet caramel Greek frozen yogurt in the Salt-Kissed Caramel bars, while the Chocolate Fudgetastic Swirl bar starts with creamy chocolate Greek frozen yogurt and adds in ripples of chocolate fudgey goodness. These new Skinny Cow Greek frozen yogurt products will soon be available in the frozen section at participating retail stores nationwide with a suggested retail price of $5.49.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SKINNY COW PACKAGING MAKEOVER: With the Skinny Cow brand's new recipes comes new packaging that puts the spotlight on both the deliciously indulgent product and its quality ingredients.

Does this mean the death of the <b><a href="http://www.onsecondscoop.com/search/label/HD-Des">2016 Destination series</a></b>? I don't really know! I'm dying for the official announcement because I want to know how many layers these pints will really have. I'm sure there will be a plethora of people slicing them open just like people do with the B&J core lineup.<br />
<br />

How exactly the layers would be laid out was pretty much my biggest question but Haagen-Dazs has posted this photo to social media and I can hardly wait to find these ice creams now. They even tweeted me back to verify this is indeed how it will look. I am so excited right now!<br />

I'm a little surprised they didn't go with a cherry chocolate base to really bring the zing here but maybe this will be more potent than the description implies. The <b><a href="http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/chocolate-cherry-garcia-ice-cream" target="_blank">official B&J flavor page is here</a></b> and it includes a video if you are interested.

One article says that Vienna Coffee and Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip were coming out for July 2016. Another says SCCC debuted just this October. There is no official press release on the Graeter's website for either flavor but the flavor list does show SCCC as new, so let's go with that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What they've done is taken their amazing Salted Caramel ice cream (<b><a href="http://www.onsecondscoop.com/2015/11/graeters-original-salted-caramel-ice.html">review here</a></b>) and added in their infamous chocolate chips. If that sounds cool to you, go find a pint.<br />
<br />
Other new flavors this year include the wide release of Cheese Crown (<b><a href="http://www.onsecondscoop.com/2016/03/graeters-cheese-crown-ice-cream.html">review here</a></b>) as well as several very limited editions for the summer. The lineup with approximate release dates includes Orange & Cream (5/16), Mexican Chocolate (5/29, <b><a href="http://www.graeters.com/blog/graeters-releases-its-second-summer-bonus-flavor-mexican-chocolate-ice-cream" target="_blank">announcement here</a></b>), Banana Chocolate Chip (6/13), S'mores (6/30), Chocolate Hazelnut (7/11), Bavarian Almond (7/27), and Butterscotch Crunch (8/22).Dubba Scoopshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708714715199039007.post-31063411185588056512016-11-04T10:16:00.000-04:002016-11-26T20:40:30.146-05:00Kemps debuting new Yo2 Frozen YogurtThere isn't an official press release yet, but apparently shoppers (and <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSnBwNB7mx/" target="_blank">myself on 11/26</a></b>) have stumbled across a new line up of Kemps frozen yogurt (because two lines wasn't enough, they needed a third).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkYdB8pUdbN7eVXLbw81Jl_Gz6RPswFIYgHT6snvJBgMa8K8s02K-oliqBiLbQZr5YgmUG2Cb9pAybGJsg_kmFs0MTjkpi4bOS03jFoA7GIgWRKfrkkkNRdJNU4Yu_zM3j_cI_yHNotCY/s1600/kemps_RS2105_Yo2_Salted_Caramel_Cookie_Crunch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkYdB8pUdbN7eVXLbw81Jl_Gz6RPswFIYgHT6snvJBgMa8K8s02K-oliqBiLbQZr5YgmUG2Cb9pAybGJsg_kmFs0MTjkpi4bOS03jFoA7GIgWRKfrkkkNRdJNU4Yu_zM3j_cI_yHNotCY/s1600/kemps_RS2105_Yo2_Salted_Caramel_Cookie_Crunch.jpg" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">[image courtesy of Kemps website]</span></div>
<br />
So first there is your typical Kemps frozen yogurt with regular and fat free flavors. They are packaged in regular looking ice cream containers. Then last year they debuted "<b><a href="http://www.onsecondscoop.com/search/label/frozen_yogurt+Kemps">frozen yogurt shop</a></b>" in fancy clear containers, something akin to clear gelato containers you see some companies use. Now we've got a new line up of pint sized froyo in six flavors to start. Yet again the containers are clear so you can see what is inside.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #783f04;">Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge:</span></b> chocolate frozen yogurt, peanut butter fudge swirl and chocolate peanut butter cups<br />
<b>Cold Brew Coffee:</b> (coffee froyo with fudge swirl)<br />
<b><span style="color: #7f6000;">Mudslide:</span></b> Chocolate and coffee frozen yogurt swirled with cookies, fudge and chocolaty chunks<br />
<b><span style="color: #741b47;">Raspberry Cheesecake:</span></b> Cheesecake frozen yogurt with graham crunch and raspberry swirl<br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Salty Caramel Cookie Crunch:</span></b> Vanilla frozen yogurt with shortbread cookies, chocolaty chunks and salty caramel swirl.<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Very Vanilla:</span></b> (vanilla froyo)<br />
<br />
There isn't an official press release yet so I don't know officially how these are different. I do notice that there are no added live yogurt cultures but they still use "cultured skim milk". The ingredient lists also seem to be simpler than their usual froyo so that is probably part of this new line up as well. You would think this would be prominent in the packaging though the heavy use of green might imply a more natural product.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Allergy note:</b> they are using peanut oil in their fudge swirls (could be moose tracks fudge).</span>Dubba Scoopshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708714715199039007.post-51027757489826878512016-11-03T21:53:00.001-04:002017-02-08T11:55:51.712-05:00New M&M’S Brand Ice Cream Bars(supposedly) Coming December 2016...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to Pair Ten Popular Ice Cream Flavors </i><i>with a Variety of Cold Brews</i></div>
<br />
<b>CANTON, Mass.</b> (June 13, 2016) – In celebration of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 19, and the brand’s festive <b>The Cold One Cake</b>, a unique ice cream cake shaped like a mug that honors dad in a frosty and flavorful way, Baskin-Robbins has partnered with All About Beer Magazine, America’s leading beer publication, to identify ten popular ice cream flavors to pair with a range of cold brews.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.baskinrobbins.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmXk4ab9Lrr-ZEr3mBGitEKw26kU_xGZaYaHAX2ALW0wYutsnKC4mHH8-1wLuDy_pO12rP4uLPqlb-SORiKgC2bS8p6ll6p9ptm2vBDQXJf7-AD7mzr4bSaSTo2RpeHIWxDbRyaa9gwo/s1600/baskin+robbins+official+TheColdCake_Enlarged.jpg" /></a></div>
“At first glance, you may not think of pairing beer and ice cream together, but once people have a chance to taste these combinations, they will see how well the different flavors complement one another,” said John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine. “Beer has diverse flavors thanks to its main ingredients – water, malt, hops, and yeast. Then, when brewers add culinary ingredients like coffee, fresh fruit, spices and more, the pairing options with ice cream become truly endless. Working with a variety of flavors, we looked to match complementary flavors and intensity, and coax out some nuances from both the beer and the ice cream.”<br />
<br />
Ice cream and beer pairings recommended by John Holl of All About Beer Magazine, in collaboration with the Baskin-Robbins Culinary Team, include:<br />
<br />
<b> 1. Mint Chocolate Chip with Coffee Porter or Stout</b><br />
<br />
The ale already has some cocoa and java flavors and it mixes nicely with the roast of the chocolate chips and the herbal, cool mint flavor of the ice cream.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Peanut Butter N' Chocolate with Doppelbock</b><br />
<br />
Nutty and creamy, with an assertive chocolate base, the ice cream brings out the best in this malt-forward dark brown lager.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Jamoca® Almond Fudge with Blueberry Ale</b><br />
<br />
Brewers are taking the sweet, tangy, earthy blueberry and adding it to caramel-tinged ales, making it a perfect complement to this frozen coffee, nutty, chocolatey concoction. Lively fruit flavors pair wonderfully with the chocolate flavored ribbon.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Watermelon Splash Ice with Gose</b><br />
<br />
Gose is brewed with wheat and salt and is predicted to be the beer of the summer, making it a perfect companion to the hot weather staple – watermelon. Pronounced “Gose-Uh,” look for variations that already include cucumber, prickly pear, or yes, even watermelon flavors.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Rocky Road with Foreign Extra Stout</b><br />
<br />
A candy lover’s dream! The stout has sweet chocolate, rich espresso and generic red berry flavors that party hard with the almond, marshmallow and deep chocolate of the ice cream. Rocky Road adds creaminess to the hearty beer and this combination makes for an excellent ice cream beer float.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Pralines 'n Cream with a Pilsner or a Mango Ale</b><br />
<br />
The classic pilsner style, with sweet cereal-like malt takes the place of a cone when paired with this southern-style treat. Additionally, one of the most popular beer styles this summer is mango-flavored pale ales and India pale ales. The nuttiness and sweetness of the ice cream balances out some of the more assertive beer flavors, creating a delectable combination.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Cherries Jubilee with Barleywine</b><br />
<br />
A barleywine coaxes out the rich cherry and rum flavor in this ice cream. Bittersweet and leather flavors emerge as well, begging for this combo to be enjoyed in dad’s favorite leather chair.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Chocolate with Belgian Quad</b><br />
<br />
This beer is bursting with flavors that love chocolate. Two classics with great depth and rich sweetness that only get better with each lick and sip.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Vanilla with Peach Lambic</b><br />
<br />
Sweet and creamy vanilla gets a boost from the lambic, which is fermented with peaches and aged in barrels. Slightly spicy and effervescent, the fruity character of the ale will act like a sauce for the ice cream. This lambic style helps to recreate the classic peaches and cream combination.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Very Berry Strawberry with Hefeweizen</b><br />
<br />
It’s the start of a fruit salad. Bright, vibrant strawberry mixes with the banana esters in the classic German Hefeweizen. The sweet berry will also help control the assertive spice bite of the clove flavor found in the beer and counter the acidity found in the lemon wedge often served as a garnish on the rim of the glass.<br />
<br />
“Whether you enjoy a pint of beer, a pint of ice cream or both, Father’s Day is all about spending time with family and friends and showing dad how much he is appreciated, which is why we’re excited to offer guests our fun and frosty The Cold One Cake, which can be fully customized for dad,” said Jeff Miller, Executive Chef and Vice President of Product Innovation at Dunkin’ Brands. “This year, the return of The Cold One Cake inspired us to think about how dads could enjoy ice cream in a fun and unique way – by pairing it with a cold brew. All the ice cream flavors in our list of pairings can be featured in The Cold One Cake as well, which gives our guests the opportunity to celebrate dad in a very special way this year.”<br />

Both cakes can be customized to feature dad’s favorite ice cream and cake flavor combination and are available for pre-order in-store or through Baskin-Robbins’ online cake ordering website.<br />

<b>Beer and Ice Cream Focus on Climate Initiative to Benefit Protect Our Winters</b></div>
<br />
If there’s one thing that socially responsible businesses have learned, it’s that they can’t go at it alone. Whether it’s implementing responsible sourcing initiatives or creating a positive corporate model to make an impact on sustainability, there is strength in numbers. So where did Ben & Jerry’s turn for help and inspiration for its latest ice cream flavor? Colorado-based New Belgium Brewing. Never has the phrase “polishing off a pint” been so perfectly poised in any partnership for a delicious double-entendre.<br />

Collectively committed to making a better impact in their global communities, the two B Corp companies proudly introduced Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale ice cream, which will be featured in Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops as well as in pints across the country as a Limited Batch flavor this fall (MSRP $4.89). The concoction consists of New Belgium Brown Ale Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Swirls and Fudge Brownies. The ice cream, arriving on shelves this month, was unveiled Wednesday evening at a Washington D.C. launch “Brew-Ha-Ha” in the confines of the historic Howard Theatre. The launch event was heralded as “a night of music, climate activism, beer, and ice cream.” Musicians Galactic and Dr. Dog performed at the unveiling of Ben & Jerry’s newest ice cream flavor to highlight climate activism.<br />
<br />
New Belgium Brewing and Ben & Jerry’s jointly pursued a partnership with Protect Our Winters. an organization founded by pro-snowboarder Jeremy Jones, to bridge the gap between the winter sports community and the necessary action to address climate change. “We wanted to partner with a business that shared our progressive values, fun spirit, and desire to take action giving fans an opportunity to act on climate. New Belgium quickly became the perfect choice,” said Jay Curley, Senior Marketing Manager at Ben & Jerry’s. A portion of the proceeds from the ice cream and the beer will benefit Protect Our Winters. Attendees at the launch event were encouraged to request action via governors in their home states to embrace Protect Our Winters and the Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon emissions.<br />
<br />
Ben & Jerry’s and New Belgium combined forces on a Ben & Jerry’s-inspired beer as earlier announced by the brewing company in April 2015. Although the beer is just hitting markets now in October, the story made a springtime splash with the announcement of Salted Caramel Brown-ie Brown Ale. New Belgium’s Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale, a limited special release, is laden with dark roasted malts, chocolaty tones and hints of vanilla. Both the beer and ice cream are available now through the holiday season while supplies last.<br />
<br />
“We are incredibly excited to be working with a like-minded business, creating top-notch flavor sensations and leveraging our collective efforts to bring awareness to B Corps and climate issues,” said Bryan Simpson, New Belgium’s PR Director. “Beer and ice cream are a beautiful pair and getting to turn folks onto the work of POW makes this collaboration that much more meaningful.”<br />

Beer floats have never had a more perfect pairing…<br />

<b>ABOUT PROTECT OUR WINTERS</b><br />
Protect Our Winters (POW) was started in 2007 by pro snowboarder Jeremy Jones who witnessed first-hand the impact of climate change on our mountains. After having been turned away from areas that had once been ride-able and seeing resorts closed due to lack of snow, Jeremy saw a gap between the winter sports community and the action being taken by us all to address the problem. Snow-based recreation in the United States is estimated to contribute $62 billion annually to the US economy and supports over 940,000 jobs. So when we look at the cost of inaction, it’s serious business. We are the environmental voice of the global snow sports community, united towards a common goal of reducing climate change’s effects on our sports, our industry and local economies through education, advocacy and community-based activism. POW was founded on the idea that the collective power of the winter sports community is massive, and if we can all work together, the end result can be revolutionary. Together We Can Protect Our Winters. <a href="http://www.protectourwinters.org/">www.protectourwinters.org</a>.<br />

Baskin-Robbins will also celebrate the military community all month long with its November Flavor of the Month, <b>First Class Camouflage</b>, and with a special Camouflage Waffle Cone.

“We’re excited to honor our military service members and veterans this November through our long-standing partnership with the USO, and hope our guests will join our efforts in supporting the USO on Veterans Day when we will make a donation for every scoop of ice cream sold in our U.S. restaurants to the organization,” said Bill Mitchell, President, Baskin-Robbins U.S. and Canada, and Dunkin' Donuts & Baskin-Robbins China, Japan and Korea, who previously served as a Captain in the U.S. Army. “We’re also looking forward to introducing our November Flavor of the Month, First Class Camouflage, which celebrates our troops in a fun and unique way.”<br />
<br />
Baskin-Robbins is also committed to supporting the military community by offering a special veteran’s incentive program for U.S. veterans seeking to open a Baskin-Robbins franchise in the U.S. As part of the program, Baskin-Robbins will waive the 20-year initial franchise fee of $25,000 and offer a zero percent royalty rate for the first two years and a reduced royalty rate for years three through five for qualified, honorably discharged U.S. veterans, making it easier for them to start their own business.**<br />

<i>In stores soon, the Turkey Hill flavor emerges as Limited Edition favorite</i></div>
<br />
<b>LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa.</b> (September 22, 2014) – Move over, Pumpkin Spiced Latte. There’s a new fall-flavored treat in town. Fans of Turkey Hill Dairy’s Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream have been counting down the days until its arrival, and that day has finally come.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtuTx1jdTJbRW3rdfePHF-ZHSgp6d_KZJ-HrpIdbPNczEjtPQG0TOh-LnLqvltJw8tTlY-_4-kReehmX1W5OanWjV4cyueJoPtG99nH7bosgO19nNQNOgaHN6hilSgIz5X6LeHb7uLtE/s1600/Turkey+Hill+Pumpkin+Pie+Ice+Cream2+small.jpg" /></div>
<br />
The annual autumn flavor — described as pumpkin-flavored ice cream with a cinnamon graham cracker swirl — has been among the brand’s most popular Limited Edition options since its first appearance in the line-up in 2012.<br />
<br />
“OMG, OMG, OMG, I can’t wait!” said Turkey Hill fan Norma, via a comment on the Dairy’s blog prior to the flavor’s 2014 debut. “I wish Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream were around all year long!”<br />
<br />
The first containers of Turkey Hill’s Pumpkin Pie rolled off the line at the Lancaster County Dairy on Friday, September 19, and will begin shipping to stores nationwide in a few short days. To celebrate the occasion, Turkey Hill posted a photo of the first batch on its Facebook Page and promised a doorstep delivery of the flavor to one lucky fan, before it arrived in stores. The “first taste” offer attracted more than 2,500 comments in just six hours.<br />
<br />
“When we first made Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, we knew we had something special, but we never would have predicted that it would be this popular,” said Turkey Hill President John Cox. “We’ve heard stories from fans who stock up on 15 or 20 containers of Pumpkin Pie to get them through the year until it returns again.”<br />
<br />
For fans who might be unable to find the flavor, Turkey Hill will award another shipment of Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream via a contest held on its blog, the Ice Cream Journal (<a href="http://www.icecreamjournal.com/">www.icecreamjournal.com</a>). To enter, fans need only to leave a comment on any blog entry posted between September 22 and October 31. One commenter will be chosen at random to win a four-pack of the flavor, shipped to his or her home or office.<br />
<br />
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream is available October through November wherever Turkey Hill products are sold. For more information, visit <a href="http://turkeyhill.com/">turkeyhill.com</a>.<br />

<i>Campaign Expands To Cincinnati, Dayton, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Columbus, Lexington, Louisville & Indianapolis</i></div>
<br />
“Sometimes the best way to cure cancer is with a little cream and sugar,” says Keith Desserich, Chairman of The Cure Starts Now – an international cancer research charity, “and thankfully, Graeter’s once again shows their commitment to the community by funding vital research to help our children.”<br />
<br />
You may have already supported the cause and never known it. The bestselling ice cream flavor, <b><a href="http://www.onsecondscoop.com/2012/08/graeters-elenas-blueberry-pie-ice-cream.html" target="_blank">Elena’s Blueberry Pie Ice Cream</a></b>, has grown in its appeal within our community and is now being sold nationwide everywhere Graeter’s is carried. And still today, proceeds from the flavor benefit cancer research in pursuit of a revolutionary “homerun” strategy through The Cure Starts Now.<br />
<br />
The Cure Starts Now and Graeter’s team up once again this September in their annual Cones for the Cure campaign. This two-week long campaign will take place September 3-15 at participating Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Lexington, Louisville and Indianapolis Graeter's locations to help spread the word about The Cure Starts Now and its mission to find a cure for all cancers by focusing on pediatric brain cancer.<br />
<br />
As part of their continued support for The Cure Starts Now, Graeter's will be giving away free scoops of Elena’s Blueberry Pie ice cream to customers two times during the month of September. Elena’s Blueberry Pie is a special flavor that was created in honor of 6-year-old Elena Desserich, the inspiration behind The Cure Starts Now.<br />
<br />
“In many ways, this is where it started,” says Chip Graeter of Graeter’s. “Almost five years ago we joined the charity with the creation of this special flavor and have been committed to the cause ever since. And this time we want to do even more.”<br />
<br />
During Cones for the Cure, guests that visit a Graeter’s store during the campaign period have the opportunity to donate a $1 or $5 “Cone for the Cure.” Graeter’s will also offer a $15 savings booklet for every donation of $5 or more to The Cure Starts Now. The element of surpise is what makes this such a great campaign as the two free ice cream days will randomly be announced with the help of media outlets and social media. Be sure to "like" the Cones for the Cure Facebook page at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/conesforthecure">https://www.facebook.com/conesforthecure</a> for the latest news about the campaign.<br />
<br />
“It may be the very best way to make a difference while treating yourself to the best ice cream around,” says Graeter.<br />
<br />
In 2013, nearly 40,000 people participated in the campaign which generated over $52,000 for The Cure Starts Now. To learn more about Cones for the Cure, please visit the website at <a href="http://www.conesforthecure.org/">www.conesforthecure.org</a>.<br />
