PB S'more: New from Ben & Jerry’s (BJ’s) for 2024, this flavor is meant to evoke thoughts of the classic campfire dessert with a peanut butter twist. The base ice cream is a toasted marshmallow that has chunks of peanut butter cups, graham cracker pieces, and marshmallow swirls. By itself, the marshmallow ice cream is a bit boring and comes off as a somewhat bland sweet flavor, but thankfully the inclusion of the signature BJ's gooey marshmallow swirls and other mix-ins alleviates this potential problem. Short tangent, this is similar to BJ's other delicious s'mores ice cream (Gimme S'more). The big difference is the marshmallow flavor shines more in PB S'more as in Gimme S'more it gets somewhat masked by the chocolate cookie flavor and omitted marshmallow swirl. Of the three flavors in PB S'more, I detected mostly marshmallow and graham cracker as the peanut butter cups are not as numerous as the graham cracker pieces and omnipresent marshmallow flavor. Although the peanut butter cups are sparser (there's still plenty) than the graham cracker pieces, when encountered they do tend to be larger chunks (a fair trade-off in my opinion). In fact, I found one peanut butter cup that was entirely intact and not simply a chunk (see picture). My only complaint is that my pint could have used a more predominant marshmallow swirl. The swirl appears lugubrious if it can even be seen at all. Those of you looking for a peanut butter ice cream might be slightly disappointed, but for s'mores lovers, this is nearly perfect.

Read moreBen and Jerry's don't require a lot of explanations. Despite it's proximity to the birthplace of this super brand this location is not significantly different from any other Ben and Jerry's you've seen elsewhere. Located in the lower level, next to a pizza parlor, pub and a self service cafeteria. It's a few steps away from the fine dining restaurant and lifts. So it's a great location to grab some of the brand's best known flavors at the end of a long ski day (make sure you check the opening times as they change by day and season). Restrooms are available in the building, there are a few indoor seating places here and a bunch more on the other floors. Just be careful when you pass by here, because the tantalizing smell of freshly made waffles lingers in the air here at...
