A returning flavor last seen in 2010, Superfudge Truffle features double chocolate fudge ice cream mixed with soft chunks of chocolate ganache and toffee truffle pieces. It's pretty much chocolate, chocolate, and some toffee.

In Baskin-Robbins stores nationwide during the month of February, Superfudge Truffle is available by the scoop (cup or cone) or as a milkshake. You can also take it home in hand-packed pints, quarts, and half-gallons. Like most ice cream shops, you can always get a small sample before deciding.

Jack in the Box latest limited-time burger, the new BLT Cheeseburger, features hickory-smoked bacon, shredded lettuce, and tomatoes joined by a 100% beef patty, American cheese, pickles, and mayo-onion sauce on a sesame seed bun.

To entice you to try it, they're putting it in a combo with small fries and a 20-ounce drink for $4.99.

It's more like a BLT plus cheeseburger no? Like they took the fillings from both and put it all in one bun.

Review: Dunkin' Donuts - Smokehouse Sausage Breakfast Sandwich

Dunkin' Donuts' Smokehouse Sausage Breakfast Sandwich features a split Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage link, an egg and a slice of American cheese oven-toasted on an English muffin.

I actually picked this up at the airport while I was waiting for my plane to board. I don't think they even serve this at regular Dunkin' Donuts anymore (it's not on their website anyway).

Being an airport, the price was a little inflated at $3.79.
