Trader Joe's has taken everything but the kitchen sink and thrown it into its new All Mixed Up Ice Cream.
Featuring a little bit of everything, Trader Joe's All Mixed Up Ice Cream is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth. The new flavor starts with a base of cream vanilla ice cream all swirled with salty peanut butter. Each pint is then studded with an assortment of sweet treats, including chocolate sandwich creme cookie pieces, candy-coated pretzels, mini chocolate peanut butter cups, and even some colorful rainbow sprinkles. The result is a deliciously sweet treat with a satisfying crunch in every bite.
While delicious on its own, the new All Mixed Up Ice Cream also makes the perfect base for a sundae.
