The good news is I found Chapman’s butter tart ice cream at my local Sobeys. The bad news is it contains raisins. Thank you for respecting our privacy as we work through some challenging moments during this difficult time.

You would not believe the joy in this household when we found out The Keg took its Billy Miner Pie, smushed it all up, stuck it in an ice cream tub and put it in grocery store freezers. I buy two at a time.

Where have you found this? Sounds delightful!

I’ve found it at Loblaws. You have to look closely because there usually isn’t that many in there. It’s in the section with the smaller sized gourmet products like Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen Dasz. And it is really yummy.

We tried it this week and we were surprised by the raisins. It was great ice cream and I would definitely buy it again but would like a "no raisin" option as well.

My husband has a raisin thing too but he can eat craisins, dates and other raisin-like dried fruits. 🙄

Agreed. My family likes raisins so I accept that with the ice cream, like with the tarts, I will endure them. Smart of Chapman's as I am out numbered on this.

I can't do raisins, either, especially soggy ones in ice cream. Ewwww. I can, if really hungry, get down with trail mix but I cannot do raisins that are soggy. So nasty. Ewww. Why?
aug 25, 2025, 3:52 am • 2 0 • view
Same. In trail mix is about the only way I can tolerate them.

Right? They would definitely make some bucks if they offered without. Maybe worth a second version!

I made a version with smushed up tarts in leftover ice cream (sans raisins) and it was delicious. Hire me, Chapman’s! You can add crusts to your recipe and call it your own!

I will accept no more than 2 raisins in a butter tart. But will accept none in ice cream.

The only example that comes to mind is rum raisin and I'm unsure whether to blame the raisins or just put it down to being a garbage flavour

Nothing 'gets better' when you add raisins to it. Nothing. Ever. If something is already good or great, leave it alone. Add anything else to it, maybe. But raisins will immediately sour it and it'll be garbage.

I like the raisins in this ice cream. There’s just enough of them. I think they had @brittlestar.com decide how many. @chapmans.ca
aug 25, 2025, 12:25 am • 7 0 • view
As a rule, I try not to argue with @brittlestar.com. But any number other than zero makes me call his raisin quota consulting into question.

Possibility that he gets paid by the raisin.

I damned near cried at the store Chapman's gets it right 95%of the time, but For years they made wonderful Candy-Cane ice cream. It had amazing peppermint flavour, but because Peppermint is seasonal 🙄, only at Xmas Then it changed & came back with waxy, tasteless, swirls pretending to be chocolate
