Inside Scoop: Ben & Jerry’s throws potato chips into the ice cream mix - MassLive.com

I’m a sucker for a “limited botch” from Ben & Jerry’s. The flavors tend to be unique and experimental and often times delicious. When I saw this limited flavor inspired by the Netflix show “Nailed It!” I was curious to see what they would come up with.

For those unfamiliar with the Netflix cooking show, it basically pits amateur bakers against each other to recreate elaborate confections to the best of their limited abilities. The results are often disastrous, but still delicious.

I was actually surprised to see that Ben & Jerry’s nod to the show only featured three main ingredients. “Chip Happens” (the flavor names never disappoint) is chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge pieces and a potato chip swirl. To truly capture the show’s essence I would have liked maybe some rainbow sprinkles or gummy bears or edible glitter, just something a little more showy.

This is a pretty straightforward salty/sweet flavor combo and it works well. The chocolate ice cream is Ben & Jerry’s usual creamy, sweet offering. The fudge chips are plentiful and made with really good fudge chocolate.

The winner here is a thick potato chip swirl which somehow manages to remain crunchy. I don’t know how they did it, but the chips are not mushy at all. The swirl runs throughout the pint and it’s consistently crunchy. Besides the great texture the chips also add a nice saltiness to the treat that balances out the overly sweet chocolate.

I really like this combo and the only reason it gets four and not five scoops from me is that I feel it’s a bit boring when compared to the elaborate desserts made on the show.

As usual Ben & Jerry’s is meant to be eaten sparingly as it contains 390 calories per 2/3 cup serving. There are 24 grams of fat, 170 milligrams of sodium and 31 grams of sugar, so enjoy in moderation.
