Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream is introducing J-Bars, now available in freezer aisles nationwide.
"We made no concessions and took no shortcuts when making our J-Bars. We held ourselves to the same high standards that we do when creating every pint of ice cream. Above all else, every bite had to be wildly delicious," says senior director of innovation, Beth Stallings.
Jeni's J-Bar lineup includes four flavors:
- Vanilla Caramel Sundae — An ode to the first ice cream bar Jeni ever made. Vanilla ice cream with smoky almonds, a rivulet of caramel sauce, and a chocolaty crunch.
- Dark Chocolate Bombe — Palate-gripping chocolate ice cream and rich chocolate cookies with a chocolaty coating.
- Passion Fruit Dreamsicle — Aromatic, sun-kissed passion fruit twisted with key lime. A tropical spin on the classic.
- Chocolate Churros & Cream — A Whole Foods Market exclusive. Brown sugar and Vietnamese cinnamon ice cream dusted with chocolate and cinnamon cookies.
Jeni's has a rich history with the ice cream bar. In the company's early days, founder Jeni Britton hand-molded and hand-dipped ice cream bars (what she called J-Bars) at the original North Market location in Columbus. Its Vanilla Caramel Sundae bar pays homage to the first bar Jeni ever made — vanilla ice cream with a rich caramel swirl and smoked almonds, all dipped in chocolate. Until now, Jeni's ice cream bars had only ever been served at scoop shops.
Jeni's J-Bars are now available at retailers nationwide, including Whole Foods Market, Harris Teeter, and select Target locations.
