Never had it before - Google says it was introduced three years ago? Wow - it was good! It just might displace Mint Chocolate Chip and Heath Bar Crunch as my favorite B&J flavor. Yummmmm. Anyone else had it? What did you think? ---

Oh yes! I was amazed that it tastes _just like_ creme brulee, crackles and all. My very favorite ice cream. ---

It’s fantastic, and it does taste just like creme brulee…but Mint Chocolate Cookie is still my favorite 🙂 ---

I looked and looked for this when it came out could not find it then, and alas, cannot afford it right now, I’m glad they are still making it, so maybe I will have a chance at some sometime. ---

I’ve never seen that one before! How did I miss that? I’m going to the grocery store tonight and if they don’t have any I shall be disappointed! ---

I had it for the first time this past summer. It is _sublime._ Alas, I am back in the land-of-limited-Haagen-Dazs-and-Ben-&-Jerry’s-choices, and must wait until my next trip Stateside to once again savor it. Mmmmmmm. ---

[I’ve had it.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=415312) I didn’t manage to never buy it again, though. But I can eat less of it at once than I could when I first bought it. ---

Wonder if they got it over here. May have to include it on the itinerary for a trip back home. ---

> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Finished off a pint last night. > Love it For me, your first sentence is always preceded by “Started and” It is my favorite flavor, and, since I always eat the entire carton, I only get it every two or three months. ---

I prefer the Haagen Dazs version, if they still make it. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Oh dear god no. I really wish I hadn’t heard of this. > > Now I’ll NEVER lose weight. Ditto. I friggin’ _love_ creme brulee, and I’m much more of a savoury/salty person. But good creme brulee? I still remember eating it at Clinkerdaggerbickerstaffandpetts (or whatever it’s called) in Spokane, WA each fall when we went to the States for the fall shopping trip. Oh, yes, yes, yes! I have never, ever had creme brulee as good as I remember from those trips. Rich custard. Thick, caramel-y, hard shell. Jesus, that was sublime. And now you tell me this can be replicated in an ice cream? I am doomed to be fat forever. ---

Oh yes, I LOVE it. Unfortunately, I need to get my cholesterol under control, and I don’t think I can eat like that anymore, except maybe for very special occasions only. ☹ ---

It’s delicious, but their Caramel Sutra (which may no longer be made, I forget) is IMO even better, for that sweet/salty/fatty combination. ---

Ben and Jerry’s Creme Brulee is an evil, sinful thing that no one should ever try. Ever. You WILL be sorry.
