The Ben & Jerry's Sundaes range has been expanded in celebration of Valentine's Day to offer consumers a treat to share with a love interest, a special friend or simply enjoy on their own.
The sundaes include the Straw-Bae Shortcake, PB Blondie Bestie and the Mocha Mood Pie flavors, which are each arriving now at the brand's Scoop Shops or anywhere pints are stocked for $4.99 to $6.49. The treats are expected to be right at home with the existing range and incorporate ample sweetness with texture to boot.
Flavor Guru Haylee Nelson spoke on the new additions to the Ben & Jerry's Sundaes range saying, "Knowing how much our fans LOVE our Sundaes, it only made sense to add more flavors just in time for Valentine's Day. Bringing the sundae experience home was all about convenience, fun and flavor… and our fans told us we more than delivered on that excitement. Who has time to find all the ingredients, the toppings, and even if you can - can you make it to perfection? These Sundaes deliver the perfect Ben & Jerry's Sundae experience for you, your bestie or your bae, every time!"

Industries Being Reshaped
