Ben & Jerry’s recently joined forces with Tony’s Chocolonely for a sustainable new Ben & Jerry’s x Tony’s Chocolonely collection.
The delicious pairing combines the taste of Ben & Jerry's delicious ice cream with Tony’s Chocolonely's ethically made chocolate bars. The collection will be released in the U.K. in September of 2022, and will feature a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream, as well as two new Tony’s Chocolonely bars. The Ben & Jerry’s Chocolately Love A-Fair ice cream is inspired by Tony’s Milk Caramel Sea Salt bar and features chocolate ice cream studded with chocolate and caramel chunks, along with salted caramel swirls. On the other hand, Tony’s Chocolonely will have a new Dark Milk Chocolate Brownie bar, inspired by Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream, as well as a White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Style bar, inspired by Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream.
As Cheryl Pinto, Ben & Jerry’s Global Head of Values-Led Sourcing, explains, the new Ben & Jerry’s x Tony’s Chocolonely collab will "amplify our commitment to farmers, equity, and ethical sourcing."
