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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-chocolate-caramel-brownie-nondairy) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-monkey-business) is a banana bread mixed with walnuts and chunks of fudge.
