OK OK I didn't read the label properly. But today I purchased some B&J Peanut Butter Me Up, which sounds delicious. However, what I missed on the tub was the word 'Core' !! Hmm

Why ruin perfection of Peanut Butter & Vanilla Ice Cream mixed with Reeces pieces with a huge vile core of Raspberry Jam, boak!!!!

I am generally a fan of Raspberry jam, but this has ruined my evening!!! Wink

The Peanut Butter Cup is delicious. Have just eaten some. No jam evident.

hashtagwhatever · 15/11/2013 20:08

the raspberry ruined it for me. made it taste like cheap raspberry ripple ice cream.

CrochetKate · 15/11/2013 20:09

PartyFops · 15/11/2013 20:11

There's peanut butter ice cream?

CocacolaMum · 15/11/2013 20:46

I did this exact same thing earlier today OP. Bought it as half price in Tesco.. got home and actually read the label. raspberry fucking jam ffs!

sandiy · 15/11/2013 21:29

The vanilla is wrong for me I want just peanut Jam I can take or leave.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 15/11/2013 21:31

Can you actually buy the Peanut Butter Cup in the shops now then? I've had it at the cinema and it was heaven in a cup.

Don't like the Core one - agree that the jam is ruining it. Ruining it, I say!

EndoplasmicReticulum · 15/11/2013 22:12

Yes, got it from ASDA. Luckily it was in the category of "shopping they delivered" rather than "shopping they didn't" - husband is a bit cross that his beer was in the second group.

ImagineJL · 15/11/2013 22:13

I did the same. Just scoop the jam out and put it on toast tomorrow, then eat the icecream tonight

ThisIsMyRealName · 15/11/2013 22:43

All the core ones are rubbish. You're tricked into thinking you're getting an exciting new flavour when all you get is half a tub of proper ben & Jerrys and half a boring flavour, with some pointless bit in the middle.

I'll stick with just cookie dough might have to get some out of the freezer now

Heartbrokenmum73 · 15/11/2013 22:49

Why do all the Core ones have a great flavour on one side (like Peanut Butter) and an utterly shit one on the other (fuck off with all the chocolate!!!).

And some of the 'cores' are like concrete once they're frozen.

Will be checking online shopping for Peanut Butter Cup!

biffnbuster · 15/11/2013 22:50

Had this tonight and was not impressed !!

DontCallMeDaughter · 15/11/2013 23:00

Ocado had the Peanut Butter Cup at half price until last week. It's lush!! The core one is horrible Hmm

OhMerGerd · 16/11/2013 02:32

Don't you find B&J icecreams a bit floury? Sort of like raw cake mix but frozen? Is there one that does not contain some sort of wheat based product?

Sounds lovely..... pb cup, I mean.

Ben and Jerry's is to ice cream as Kim Jong-un is to democracy.

This is one time when a like button would work so well!

kiwiscantfly · 16/11/2013 05:21

Sorry but I love Ben and Jerry's, so much so that when we went to Vermont a couple of years ago it was on the top of my list. I had so much fun at the factory! And the choices they have there, so so so many!

They don't have Ben and Jerry's where I live now and I miss it!

BergholtStuttleyJohnson · 16/11/2013 08:08

Yanbu, the jam core is awful.

littlewhitebag · 16/11/2013 08:10

I nearly out that ice cream in my basket until I examined it more closely and realized there was jam in the middle. Gross. What a waste of a lovely ice cream.

VisualiseAHorse · 16/11/2013 08:13

Asda had the Peanut Butter Cup one on the website last week for just £3!!

I really wish they would do more vanilla and fruity flavours though, everything seems to be chocolate or caramel.

GalaxyDefender · 16/11/2013 09:16

Warning - I fucked up my teeth eating the Peanut Butter Cup ice-cream, bought because it was new and on offer at Asda!

The actual pieces of pbc inside, while absolutely delicious, are like FROZEN STONES. I cracked a tooth on one, not expecting a massive great lump of solid chocolate and peanut butter in my first spoonful. It still hurts two weeks later Sad

Thants · 16/11/2013 09:24

The other core ones are good! The salted caramel core is delicious. Jam not so much though.
