Now, the brand is offering a more classic version of its product that simply consists of beaded ice cream in three tasty flavors. The new Dippin’ Dots multi-packs consist of four individual 2.5 oz. cups of the brand's signature flash-frozen breaded ice cream in three popular flavors: Cookies ’N Cream, [Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughlicious-cookie-dough-gelato-bite), and Ultimate Brownie Batter.
