Ben & Jerry's pocket-sized sundaes...

I was given several coupons from the generous folks over at Ben & Jerry's for a few free two-packs of their new "Flipped Out!" ice cream. Aaaaand considering that anything involving ice cream is immediately my new favorite thing of all time, I jumped at the chance to try some!

(If you're going to try some out on your own, I do recommend checking to see where they're sold before you go traipsing around three different stores only to realize it isn't sold at any of them. Gahhhh.)

Anyway, Jay and I finally found some at our local Stater Bros. and decided to get a two-pack for each of us. (Hey, we had free coupons, after all.) And upon initial inspection, I was all, "Dude! These are freaking small!" They are deceptively tiny - that is, until you open one up, turn it upside down, pop the ice cream out onto a plate, see the fudge is dripping down the sides and you're all, "THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"

(See? Greatest day of my life. The end.)

The way they are set up is kind of neat, actually. There is a sort of hard-shell of chocolate, fudge, ice cream (with peanut butter in mine, and cookie dough in my husband's) and cookie bits - all layered into a cute little pocket-sized sundae. Well, okay, you wouldn't literally want to put in into your pocket, but whatever.

It is the sort of treat you can enjoy in the moment and not feel like crap afterwards. Now I understand why they're so tiny - they are the perfect size to satisfy a sweet tooth without the food guilt afterwards! Of course, since they come with two, it's a little difficult not to rationalize eating the other one right away. I know that upon finishing his first one, my husband immediately said, "Yeah, I kind of want to eat the other one now." They are that gooey and delicious.

Actually, I ate my second one for lunch the other day. Apparently I'm embracing my own food guilt and just going with it.

And it has been quite delicious, if you ask me.
