What is Ben & Jerry’s Exclusive Flavor Chocolate Peanut Butter Split Ice Cream?
This exclusive flavor that can only be purchased from the Albertsons family of grocery stores features chocolate and banana ice creams with mini peanut butter cups.
How is it?
It has the creaminess that should be expected with any Ben & Jerry’s ice cream product. True to the name, all three flavors make an appearance but don’t share the stage equally. When I first opened the lid, I noticed the predominant brown (i.e., chocolate) ice cream. I love chocolate, but I’m also a banana fan, so I definitely wanted the “split” represented.
Thankfully, the ice cream distribution quickly evens itself out as you dig in, and you taste both chocolate and banana. Chocolate is, in general, a stronger flavor and was also more present with the peanut butter cups, so I would have been open to slightly more banana ice cream.
Now you might be wondering about the peanut butter part – don’t worry, there’s an ample supply of mini peanut butter cups! Unlike other ice creams where you have to dig around for the mix-ins, that’s thankfully not the case here.
Is there anything else you need to know?
The description on the pint is pretty accurate: “We’ve loaded our banana and chocolate ice creams with a chocolatey lot of bite-size PB surprises, so if you find your chocolate-covered, peanut-buttered banana fantasies aren’t fulfilled in every spoonful, we suggest a bigger spoon.”
Nearly every spoonful (or maybe it was every spoonful) did have peanut butter cups. But, my fantasy may have a little more banana in it.
Conclusion:
Overall, it’s worth a try if you like chocolate, peanut butter, and banana…which I do!

Definitely not an Albertson’s exclusive. I’ve seen it at a few Jewel-Osco’s in Chicago.
They’re owned by Albertsons
I’m in Logan Square and haven’t seen it at any of the Jewel Osco’s I’ve gone to. It’s a couple months after your response, but Ben & Jerry’s still has it on their site, so it might still be available. Thanks in advance.
Edit to above: Where did you see this at? Thanks.
This is how I felt about it, too. It was okay, but the chocolate overpowered the banana, and I love banana ice cream.
same ol mishash of the same flavors.. just give me smorres and private selctions moose tracks.. i hate when bands try to reeinvent.. ur boring.. stick with what u like.. thats it..btw smores is the best flavor ever next to milk and cokies from bens.. seriousy
I am “owned” by this flavor. Each year on my anniversary I would order a chocolate peanut butter banana milkshake. This ice cream superior to that.
