While foolish pranks might seem to have been plucked from flavorful imaginary worlds, Skippy and Welch’s have scooped away the jokes and put the real food in the bowl. Ready for a spoonful of the ultimate PB&J Ice Cream?
Over the years, the line between food jokes made for one day a year and real product launches has been blurred. Some fictional ideas have become reality when the public response has been over the top. When a food brand can strike a chord with its fans, the result is a win all around.
When Skippy and Welch’s teased the idea of a PB&J ice Cream, many people hoped, wished, even begged that it would be a reality. The idea of that sweet grape jelly swirled with the salty, creamy peanut butter was an idea that made people smile. For some lucky few, that bowl of creamy goodness will be arriving at their table.
As seen on social media, fans can have the opportunity to win a pint of this delicious ice cream. Created in partnership with Gracie’s Ice Cream in Sommerville, Massachusetts, a select number of pints will be given away.
Skippy and Welch’s graciously sent a pint of this specialty ice cream for FoodSided to enjoy, and it is a taste of childhood. The luscious cream studded with dollops of peanut butter and sweet swirls of grape jelly is perfectly delicious. While this concept might not be a regular menu item, it should be.
Thinking about this particular flavor, it would be scrumptious in an ice cream sandwich. Instead of a traditional chocolate cookie base, a simple white bread, crimped to make a sandwich pocket would bring all those childhood memories flooding back. It could be the dessert of the summer.
Another idea would be to take some simple butter crackers and add a dollop of ice cream to make mini-sandwiches. The crunch, hint of saltiness, and the contrasting sweetness would make for a delectable treat.
Since this PB&J Ice Cream turned fiction into reality, everyone can only hope that a permanent offering could hit the freezer soon. It is the ultimate brand collaboration that people would scoop up in an instant.
