“Our new flavor was inspired by the popular snack mixes that combine sweet and salty foods,” said Wayne Hugo, vice president of sales and marketing for Blue Bell. “When developing Sweet ‘n Salty Crunch we tried many different recipes, and combinations of ingredients. But in the end, the mixture of chocolate, pretzels and almonds in a vanilla ice cream received rave reviews from our taste panels."
The new flavor is available in the half gallon and pint sizes for a limited time.
Each year, Blue Bell celebrates National Ice Cream Month with the release of a new flavor.
It was President Ronald Reagan back in 1984 who designated the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.
