Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's is probably one of the best known ice creams in the world, probably second best after Walls in the UK, but it is THE best brand of ice cream out there in my opinion. From their range of exciting flavours (such as Mission to Marzipan, If I Had 1,000,000 Flavours and Fossil Fuel) to their ethics, I love it. I was very lucky as when I was younger I used to work in a restaurant for a few years that used Ben & Jerry's ice cream....and some ...
...Ben & Jerry's was created in 1978 in Vermont, USA by two hippies, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield after doing a course in ice cream making at Penn State University! What's that saying? Only in the USA hey! They opened their own ice cream parlour and made it their mission to combine ice cream making with social activism. As this is a rewiew on the flavour I'm not going to write anymore but I recommend looking them up as their history is very interesting. ...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

Shock horror - Ben and Jerry's ice cream for sale in Tesco at £2.91? No I wasn't dreaming. Yesterday (29th May) my boyfriend and I ventured in to see what ice cream was available to devour whilst watching my Donnie Darko DVD, and we were pleasantly surprised to see this rather fantastic offer. Having sampled the likes of Caramel Chew Chew, Baked Alaska and Phish Food before, we decided to let go of our inhibitions and opt for something new - Ben ...
...But not this time - Ben and Jerry's don't do things by halves, as is quite clear from the amount of calories (one fifth of the container is 250kcal)! Another great thing about this product is that the sugar, bananas and cocoa are all fairtrade, so even though you might be feeling guilty about indulging yourself, you can go to sleep at night knowing the farmers who produced the ingredients are all being paid appropriately in accordance with international ...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

I love Ben and Jerrys, I really love it. If my thighs would allow it I would eat a tub every week but alas this is not to be. Now normally im more of a cookie dough/chocolate brownie type of girl as I don't really like bananas or banana ice cream for that matter. However last week I saw this was on offer for only £2 and I thought what the heck i'll give it a go! So the tub is pretty simply banana ice cream, with chocolate banana shaped pieces and ...
...I was worried that the banana flavour would put me off but it is very mild and very creamy so actually quite enjoyable. The walnuts which I adore are indeed chunky and really make this ice cream I think. The chocolate pieces are plentiful and also very yummy and taste like they are of a good quality chocolate. There are no sauce swirls in this ice cream though but I don't think this makes it any less enjoyable. However always with pleasure comes ...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

...much! I first discovered Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream when ordering a pizza one evening. I asked for my usual favourite Phish Food, but five minutes later I received a call saying they'd run out. What was I to do? Well when the pizza guy said they had an ice-cream called Chunky Monkey, it had to be tried. When it arrived I sat it beside me on the sofa while I ate my pizza, then I had a look at the back, Banana ice-cream with walnuts ...
...and yellow. It has the Ben & Jerrys logo and pictures of walnuts and bananas! It also has the usual amusing Ben & Jerry's stuff on the back along with all the nutritional info and ingredients PRICE A tub usually cost about £3.75 thats about 700ml I think the same as other ben and jerry's or hagen dazs ice-cream tubs. I suppose this is a little expensive but really when you taste the ice-cream you know why. It is quality and quality has its price. ...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

...THE BEST FLAVOUR of Mr Ben and Mr Jerry in my humble opinion. Previously only available at the cinema in teeny little cups, I finally managed to track it down in Asda. Most of the other supermarkets only stock boring "normal" flavours such as chocolate or vanilla so I was past excitement when I saw Chunky Monkey. This is banana puree ice cream, which smells and looks delicious when you lift the lid off. Immediately visible are slabs of dark chocolate ...
...love, and want more! Ben & Jerry's ice cream has never been cheap. I buy it because I have a tiny freezer and it's a perfect size tub rather than the 'family' size rectangular boxes which take up half the room. To me though, the extra ingredients and different flavour far surpass any other luxury ice cream. Give yourself a treat! ...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

This was a new brand on the market and the name sounded quite funky - after reading the type of icecream it was, i was curious as to how it tasted as i would never would have thought that walnuts, chocolate and banana could ever taste so great. i bought a tub and put it in the fridge for half an hour as this softens the icecream and you get a better taste of the flavours. The moment i opened the lid, i got this splendid sweet smell of bananas which ...
...banana flavoured icereams but non of them have the aroma like Bill & Jerrys. I scooped some out into a bowl and the colours and texture of the icecream were fantastic, the cream colour with the dark bits of chocolate and the small bumps of walnut!! I put a spoonful into my mouth and the taste was incredible, at first you taste the banana flavour but as the icecream melts you taste the chocolate chips in your mouth and then you bite the walnut pieces. ...
