6 Most Fattening Ice Cream Flavors

Can you guess what the six most fattening ice cream flavors are? Newsweek did better than guess. In a recent issue, it researched which flavors are the fattiest. We sampled the top six in the "Good Morning America" studio. For a half-cup serving, according to Newsweek, here's a rundown of the heaviest contenders. We have added comments from the companies that produce them -- defending and embracing their delicious products:

1)Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter
(360 calories, 24 grams of fat)

"Häagen-Dazs offers a full range of products for everyone -- from the superpremium Häagen-Dazs Reserve Series, made from rare and exotic ingredients, to luxurious snack-size bars and the delicious "better for you" options of Häagen-Dazs Sorbet, Frozen Yogurt and Extra Rich Light ice cream, half the fat, but the same rich, creamy taste of the original."

2) Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby
(330 calories, 20 grams of fat)

"As Stephen Colbert, the flavor namesake of AmeriCone Dream, would say in this case (although he also says it about history): 'Let's let the market decide!' No matter how many 'low,' 'light' and 'less' products we try to come up with, they never become our best sellers! People still want Ben & Jerry's to be the funkiest, chunkiest and best-tasting ice cream around."

Rice Dream Mint Carob Chip is my favorite. Still has calories, but not the saturated fat of Ice-Cream and much better than the low-fat ice creams. I love soy milk on my cereal, but I don't care for soy ice cream.

The most fattening ice cream I ever came across was a local concoction down South: Fenwick's Bacon Swirl Supreme - the one with the pork rind pralines.

As Rachel Ray would say - Yummo!

Soy based ice cram is actually quite tasty, just a little on the expensive side

I want to like soy ice cream, I really do.. but so far every brand I've tried made me want to yak. It tastes like frozen horchata instead of deliciousness. I guess there's just no substitute for butter and milk.

Oh my God... whats the point of eating ice cream if its not fattening... thats the whole damned point!

It wouldnt be a 'treat' otherwise... come on... ice cream is worth breaking your diet for.
