A new flavor of Blue Bell ice cream is making its way to stores on Thursday.
Beginning February 25, fans of Blue Bell's Cookie Cones can get a taste of their childhood with the newest offering from the creamery, Cookies 'n Cream Cone.
Blue Bell says the flavor is a creamy vanilla ice cream combined with chocolate crème filled cookie crumbles, chocolate cone pieces coated in dark chocolate and a chocolate fudge sauce.
Executive director of advertising and marketing, Joe Robertson said that the flavor is inspired by the creamery's popular Cookie Cone which was introduced in 1997. Cookie Cones were mostly sold in school cafeterias and have not been available since 2015.
"Imagine our Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream, then add in cone pieces and a fudgy swirl. It's an ice cream with all of the delicious ingredients of a Cookie Cone. It's your favorite cone, but in a carton," he said.
The creamery's newest flavor is now available in half gallon and pint sizes for a limited time.
"We have heard from many of our fans on social media that the Cookie Cone was a popular lunchtime treat in school," Robertson added. "Cookies 'n Cream Cone is a new twist on an old favorite that we know Cookie Cone fans will enjoy!"
Two pint-sized flavors, Cotton Candy and Orange Swirl, are also returning to stores for a limited time.
