If they didn’t already have Peanut Brittle ice cream I would suggest something like that. So I’ll say chocolate ice cream with raspberry infused chocolate chunks and a raspberry swirl and maybe throw some chashew pieces in there. Or maybe root bear float ice cream with a marshmellow swirl and a root beer swirl. ---

Dark chocolate ice cream, with Oreo cookie chunks (_big_ chunks, not just crumbs), and Maraschino cherries. ---

Espresso ice cream with a butterscotch swirl. Call it “Espresso Yourself.” ---

Something berryflavored (with actual fruit bits) inside a concealing layer of vanilla. No wait, berries and _crushed almonds_ inside plain vanilla. That way I could name it “Suprise, I’m Nuts”. 😛 ---

Chocolate ice cream with big veins of graham cracker crumbs, marshmallow (caramel and regular), caramel, fudge, and fudge chunks about the size of the phish in Phish Food. Kind of like S’mores, only…more. Call it “S’most” 🙂 ---

I suppose it would be laced with Godiva liquer and be called Chocolate Martini, only because Dirty Martini ice cream is not appealing even to me. In other news, the title of this thread just made me think “and I triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiied to meeeeelt”, so maybe it would just be called “Nothing.” ---

Dungeon Delight. Black-and-blue ice cream, dotted with silver-dragée studs, with silver gummy handcuffs and black licorice cat-o’-nine-tails. Anything but vanilla. ---

I have no idea what’s actually officially available via _Ben & Jerry’s_, but I’d look towards something like _Banana Aniseed_ or _French Vanilla Liquorice_. Name? Um… **Anisotropical**. There used to be one back in my homeland called Fish and Chips (chewy fish candy, and chocolate chip, in sea green mint ice cream) and I wish that was still around. ---

“We Brought Mandarin Chocolate Back Because It Was Little Nemo’s Favorite Flavor (And The Baskin-Robbins Version Sucks)” Okay, it’s a little wordy and the Baskin-Robbins lawyers might have a problem with it. But you get the idea. ---
