Ben & Bill's Chocolate EmporiumBar Harbor, Maine
Buzz Flavor: Lobster
People in Maine love their lobster. In fact, they've even added it to their ice cream flavors. Not long after Ben and Bill Coggins purchased this Bar Harbor sweet shop, the duo started mixing bits of real lobster with creamy vanilla ice cream to prove once and for all that the ice cream was indeed homemade.
If the thought of frozen lobster doesn't appeal to you, Ben & Bill's offers plenty of other delicious flavors, including several versions of chocolate. Or go for one of their tasty nut flavors, fruit flavors or even coffee flavors.
The shop also serves up a rich and creamy gelato if that's your frozen treat of choice.

Buzz Flavor: Indian Pudding
Aside from lobster ice cream, Maine sure does seem to have its fair share of unusual ice cream flavors. Famous for their Sea Dog Biscuits, a delicious ice cream sandwich sold by the boat load at baseball fields, Shain's of Maine also has some unique ice creams on the menu at their store location, including on Indian Pudding recipe.
You may have heard of Indian pudding -- a type of hasty pudding made with milk, corn and molasses. It's a delicious treat but not one you often find frozen. With around sixty flavors, this is probably the one that stands out the most. But they also serve Frozen Pudding so it's probably a natural progression.
Another stand out flavor is Brownie Sombrero which is made with coffee brandy ice cream and brownies. What a creative yet delicious combination!

Who came up with the idea that these could somehow become winning combinations? They sound totally putrid to me. Sorry. Then again, I'm not that adventurous when it comes to sampling new cuisine.
