Often referred to as the dark horse candidate, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough has risen from humble beginnings and recently taken ice cream politics by storm.

"I don't want to be labeled a dark horse," Peanut Butter Cookie Dough said, "especially as light and creamy as I truly am. I don't stand for anything out of the ordinary – just a proven favorite flavor looking to make the transition from the oven to the freezer. I think what I have evolved into makes perfect sense. Plus I'm popular with the kids."

Popularity with kids started many years ago when a young spread graduated from PB&J University and entered the fiercely competitive cookie market. Even more interesting is where the competition was coming from.

"Everyone knows my brother, Chocolate Chip, had the cookie market sewn up for years," Peanut Butter Cookie Dough explained. "But I didn't see any reason why the market couldn't support both our ventures."

Having enjoyed life at the top of the cookie food chain for years, Chocolate Chip diversified into the ice cream business where renewed success and a new group of followers quickly rallied around. For Peanut Butter, the next move was obvious.

"I realized that if I was going to remain competitive I was going to have to risk the whispers of 'copycat' at social functions and proceed to reinvent myself in an ice cream form," Peanut Butter Cookie Dough admits. "I really think that my advantage here is that the move for my brother made sense. But for me? Who expected this? I think folks are ready to accept Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, and they will say that on Election Day with their votes."

Sibling rivalry aside, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream is unique – peanut butter flavored ice cream and chewy bits of cookie dough – a combination unmatched. So what of pundit predictions that America isn't ready for a candidate so precariously perched on the edge? Peanut Butter Cookie Dough says, "They're nuts. Actually, I'm nuts. Well, technically, I'm a legume, but either way they don't have their finger on the pulse of America."
