New Ben and Jerry's (Israel) ice cream flavor for Pesach

Ben and Jerry's Israel has made unique Pesach flavors of their ice cream in the past. The most famous is the Haroset flavor that has been made for several years and seems to have been somewhat successful. personally I found it basically to taste like vanilla ice cream with some cinnamon and nuts but it was good. 

I was not aware of this previously but in my research I discovered that Ben and jerry's once before tried a different Pesach flavor called Matzo Crunch - adding chocolate covered matza to vanilla ice cream. It did not last beyond that one Pesach many years ago because it was not good - the matza lost its crunch and got soggy too quickly. 

Ben and Jerry's Israel has now announced that they are making a new flavor for this Pesach - matzo crunch, again. Hopefully it is redone and reworked and will be better than last time.

I am definitely going to look for it to try. The biggest problem is that sometimes they dont sell these temporary flavors in the stores, or at least in most stores, and you have to go to the factory outlet stores to get them. That is the case with the new Matzo Crunch flavor, as per the article in Israel Hayom.

    1. Ben & Jerry's Israel should absolutely be supported - it's the local franchisee's refusal to boycott Yehuda and Shomron that led to Ben & Jerry's decision to not renew the franchise agreement with them once it expires at the end of 2022. Ben & Jerry's in other countries should be boycotted - but in Israel itself, it should be supported.
