'Pint Slices' are a new product from famed ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's, which are like a hybrid of an ice cream sandwich without the outer biscuits and as its name suggests, horizontal slices of an ice cream pint that can be enjoyed in a convenient handheld format.
Knowing that many of its consumers choose to sit down with a tub of ice cream, a spoon and the intention of eating the entire container, these bite-sized Pint Slices offer a new way to indulge.
So far, the newly released ice cream bars comes in classic flavors like Vanilla Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough as well as 'Americone Dream,' which features an image of Stephen Colbert on the frozen dessert box packaging.
