For those lucky enough to go on a Ben & Jerry's factory tour, you can treat yourself to something truly special by picking up one of Ben & Jerry's Dessert Bread mixes. Unavailable in stores, the new quick bread mixes take Ben & Jerry's ice cream to a whole new level.
According to Instagrammer @ThreeSnackateers, Ben & Jerry's is offering Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix and two different kinds of Ben & Jerry's Dessert Bread mixes at its Vermont factory store. Of the two quick bread mixes, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Bread Mix appears to be a vanilla-flavored loaf, studded with Belgian chocolate chunks. On the other hand, the Chunky Monkey Dessert Bread Mix is a banana bread mixed with walnuts and chunks of fudge.
