BURLINGTON, Vt., May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Way back in 1984, Ben & Jerry's took a fan suggestion and made history when they were the first to drop big chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough into a batch of vanilla ice cream. Today the company builds on that euphoric tradition with three new dough-licious ice cream flavors, available exclusively in Scoop Shops nationwide:

Chip Off the Dough Block—Chocolate chip and chocolate ice creams with chocolate chip cookie dough & chocolate chip cookies.

Prompted by an anonymous fan suggestion, Ben & Jerry’s was the first to add cookie dough to ice cream. At first, the dough clogged up the mixing machines. Three new dough-filled flavors are now available in Scoop Shops.

Get two scoops of your favorite flavor with a chocolate-dipped cookie dough pop.

Ben & Jerry's is excited to continue its cookie dough legacy with these new flavors, as dough has been a consistent fan favorite around the world. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough has been a top 10 flavor since it was introduced more than 30 years ago.

"There's something special about the mix of dough and ice cream. Or maybe it's a sweet memory of stealing a lick from the batter bowl when Mom wasn't looking," said Ben & Jerry's Flavor Guru Eric Fredette. "We were the dough-riginator, but we have to keep raising the bar. These new dough offerings are for anyone who truly kneads them."
