Ben & Jerry’s celebrates its dough-riginal idea with new cookie dough treats in Scoop Shops nationwide

It’s Dough Time!

Burlington, VT—May 1, 2018 – Way back in 1984, Ben & Jerry’s took a fan suggestion and made history when they were the first to drop big chunks of #chocolate chip cookie dough into a batch of vanilla ice cream. Today the company builds on that euphoric tradition with three new dough-licious ice cream flavors, available exclusively in Scoop Shops nationwide:
• Chip Off the Dough Block—Chocolate chip and #chocolate ice creams with #chocolate chip cookie dough & #chocolate chip cookies.
• P.B. Dough-ble Chocolate—Dark and milk #chocolate ice creams with peanut butter cookie dough & swirls of peanut butter cookie butter.
• Cinn-Dough-rella—Cinnamon and caramel ice creams with cinnamon bun dough, shortbread cookies & oatmeal cinnamon cookie swirls.
In addition, truly committed dough-heads can go all in with three new, Scoop Shop exclusive treats:
• Half Baked Sundae—Brownie, gobs of cookie dough, and your favorite flavor.
• #chocolate Dipped Waffle Cone—Two scoops of your favorite flavor in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone, topped with edible cookie dough.
• Put a Dough Pop on It—Two scoops of your favorite flavor with a chocolate-dipped cookie dough pop.
Ben & Jerry’s is excited to continue its cookie dough legacy with these new flavors, as dough has been a consistent fan favorite around the world. #chocolate Chip Cookie Dough has been a top 10 flavor since it was introduced more than 30 years ago.
“There’s something special about the mix of dough and ice cream. Or maybe it’s a sweet memory of stealing a lick from the batter bowl when Mom wasn’t looking,” said Ben & Jerry’s
Flavor Guru Eric Fredette. “We were the dough-riginator, but we have to keep raising the bar. These new dough offerings are for anyone who truly kneads them.”
