Although “National Peanut Butter Lovers Day" was on March 1, Baskin-Robbins is still celebrating for the next few weeks with its current flavor of the month.

For all of March, the ice cream chain is paying homage to both Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and basketball season with “Reese’s Buzzer Beater Ice Cream.” This heavenly concoction features chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups mixed into a sweet blend of peanut butter and chocolate ice cream.

While Baskin-Robbins has two peanut butter flavors on its regular menu—“Peanut Butter ‘N Chocolate Ice Cream” and “Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream”—the flavor of the month is the ultimate peanut butter lover’s dream. In some ways, the “Reese’s Buzzer Beater Ice Cream” is reminiscent of these two menu regulars. However, the “Reese’s Buzzer Beater” flavor differs from “Peanut Butter ‘N Chocolate” because it is definitely more peanut-butter centered, whereas the latter has more of a rich, chocolatey taste. The delicious Reese’s chunks found within the ice cream add to the strong peanut butter taste. The monthly flavor is available in individual scoop sizes, but if you are a peanut butter fanatic, you might opt for the larger-than-life “Reese’s Buzzer Beater Layered Sundae." This decadent deal comprises three scoops of the ice cream flavor with layers of chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Peanut Butter sauce and drizzled with hot fudge and whipped cream. 

You can also order the “Reese’s Buzzer Beater Ice Cream” as one of the flavors in Baskin-Robbins’ “BOGO” Sundaes special, which concludes at the end of this month
