Just in time for 4/20, Ben and Jerry's is releasing an ice cream burrito, thereby combining two of your favorite foods and cementing the brand's status as one of your all-time favorites. Dubbed the BRRR-ito, the frozen wrap is described by the website: "For times when no ordinary snack solution will do, we have created the ultimate answer."
The ice cream burrito contains two scoops of icy delight, chocolate cookie crumbs and fudge drizzle inside a soft waffle "tortilla." You also get to pick what flavor of ice cream goes inside because Ben and Jerry's care you on a very real and personal level. You can go with two scoops of the same or mix and match. They have made some suggestions, including the Vanilla Toffee Bar Crunch and Salted Caramel Blondie.
