Wells Enterprises, in collaboration with Ferrero North America, unveiled a delicious new twist on three iconic candy bars — Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, and 100 Grand — now available as indulgent Ice Cream Candy Bars. These indulgent frozen treats transform the beloved flavors and textures of your favorite candy bars into real ice cream, letting you double treat yourself with a deliciously cool twist on a classic indulgence, the Le Mars, Iowa-based company says.

"We have the opportunity to bring these iconic candy bars to consumers in a new format and know that our indulgent flavors and signature textures will allow them to truly treat themselves," said Isabella Chia, Chief Marketing Officer at Wells. "These new ice cream candy bars are the perfect option for candy and ice cream enthusiasts alike."
About the flavors:
Butterfinger Ice Cream: Rich, creamy Butterfinger flavored ice cream with a crispety, crunchety Butterfinger layer and enveloped in a smooth chocolatey coating.
