Ben & Jerry’s is unleashing bags of cookie dough chunks WITHOUT the ice cream

Fans rejoice as Ben & Jerry’s announced its new line of cookie dough chunks without the ice cream to upgrade anyone’s snake game.

The Vermont-based creamery decided to listen to what the fans wanted by taking the ice cream out of its cookie dough for a frozen treat people can grab by the handful. 

The two cookie dough flavors — chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate chip — come in a 1/2 pound bag and need to be placed directly into the freezer just like the ice cream. 

Amazing: Ben & Jerry’s announced its new product this week, cookie dough chunks without the ice cream 

Delicious: The chunks are for everyone who thinks the cookie dough is the best part of the ice cream. They come in chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate chip

But for anyone itching to go pick up the new snack item, there is some unfortunate news. 

Ben & Jerry’s is currently only selling the cookie dough sans the ice cream in its home state of Vermont to see how the residents like the dessert. 

So while all Vermont stores are currently stocked with the newest treat from the creamery, everyone else around the US will have to wait to try it unless they fancy a road trip. 

‘Fans have been asking for “just the chunks” for a while now,’ Ben & Jerry’s Innovation Manager Jody Eley said in a statement. 

‘We’re bringing cookie dough to our Vermont shops to start. If it does well, it may be available online and in other distribution channels later this year.’

Fans have already expressed their excitement for the new treat before even trying the cookie dough without the ice cream. 

‘Ben and Jerry’s are making bags of pure cookie dough and I literally can’t breathe,’ one person wrote on Twitter after the news was announced. 

Another person expressed how the sweet announcement was going to seriously impact their diet. 

‘Diet day 11: Ben & Jerry’s announces their new cookie dough bites,’ the Twitter user wrote. 

‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME. This is the hardest thing I have EVER DONE.’  

But their diet should remain intact if they do not live in Vermont.

Not everyone was excited about the announcement of the cookie dough product.

One person online said the cookie dough was actually the worst part of the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, but most fans didn’t agree. 

It remains unclear how long Ben & Jerry’s will keep the cookie dough on the shelves of Vermont before extending the line to other places.
