Desserts- Ben & Jerry's Late Night Snack

Let me begin with one rather unprofessional thing that will sum up my feelings about this ice cream:
NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM.

Ok, now that that's out of my system, I will proceed with my review in actual English. 

When I first read the contents of this glorious little pint {Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a Salty Caramel Swirl & Fudge Covered Potato Chip Clusters}

 I definitely felt a smidgen of doubt, but that was quickly smothered by my contention that if Ben & Jerrys puts things together, they are safe to go together.  The carton boasts that the flavor was inspired by Jimmy Fallon, which gave it absolutely no extra appeal as I find him to be annoying and generally un-funny.  But anyway... I really put my trust in the good old B&J on this one, and I was not disappointed.  I tend to go by the rule that the strangest sounding combinations of flavors are often the best (although outside the world of sweets I practice this rule much more conservatively) and this ice cream is a shining example of why I employ such ideology. 

The vanilla bean ice cream itself was fabulously smooth and creamy, and the salty caramel was indeed salty.  Not too salty, however, to get in the way of the more obvious source of salt: the potato chip.  The chip clusters are coated in semi-sweet chocolate and when the salt first hit my tongue they carried an almost chocolate-covered-pretzel type of flavor.  But as the cool vanilla and caramel mixture liquified in my mouth and began to drain down my throat, the flavor of the potato chips really starts to kick in.  Just as I was about to swallow it all I was blasted briefly with this perfect potato chip essence on my pallete that sang sweet harmony with the last bit of creamy vanilla on my tongue...perfection.  Very similar to Ben & Jerry's other late-night-inspired flavor Americone Dream, but the saltiness from the chips and the slightly salted caramel give it a more unique flavor that you won't find on the Haagen Daazs side of the freezer.

5 stars...there was literally not one thing I disliked about this ice cream, and I will definitely be buying it again.
