Create your own Baskin Robbins flavor - good or bad - and win!

By Anthony Todd in Food on Oct 7, 2011 7:20PM

2011_10_7BRLogo.jpg Baskins Robbins is hosting a "Create Baskin's Next Favorite Flavor" contest! One lucky winner who submits a new flavor combination on BR's website will get a free trip to Boston and their concoction will be sold in BR stores everywhere. So, that's fun.

But the real question: What absurd, revolting, and/or funny combinations can you come up with?

We're suckers for a "pick things and combine them" game - kind of like putting all the options into your fantasy car on the manufacturers website. You can make all the normal, fun, tasty combinations (Dulce de Leche with fudge and brownie pieces, anyone?) or, in the less appetizing area, how about bubblegum ice cream with Nutter Butter icing and pieces of pie crust on top? Even better, can you come up with a name for your concoction? Ours will be called the "Depressed Valley Girl." You don't have to actually give away personal information to play, which is the best part.

If you make a good one, you'll win from BR. If you make a bad one, you'll win from us. Best combination in the comments gets our undying respect and affection. In addition, you will get a cookbook from our selection of review copies - we'll even give you a list to chose from.
