"   The battle of the late night talk shows just got a little sweeter \u2014 and creamier. Last week, Ben &amp;amp;amp; Jerry&amp;#039;s teamed up with NBC&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Late Night with Jimmy Fallon&amp;quot; to announce its new flavor &amp;quot;Late Night Snack&amp;quot;: Vanilla bean ice cream with a salted caramel swirl and fudge-covered potato-chip clusters. The salty-sweet treat was developed in response to a &amp;quot;Late Night&amp;quot; skit in which Fallon and the show&amp;#039;s band The Roots performed a song &amp;quot;Ladysmith Snack Mambazo&amp;quot; about Ben &amp;amp;amp; Jerry&amp;#039;s ice cream.

On last Thursday&amp;#039;s episode of the &amp;quot;Colbert Report,&amp;quot; the show&amp;#039;s host, whose AmeriCone Dream features vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone bits and caramel, railed against his new competitor, saying &amp;quot;Fallon, there&amp;#039;s only room for one ice cream flavor in late night&amp;quot; before threatening to melt a pint of Fallon&amp;#039;s dairy dessert with a hair dryer. Fallon then made a surprise guest appearance and the two traded ice cream insults before engaging in a brain-freeze inducing eating contest. The new flavor has also drawn more serious ire from San Francisco-based artisan ice cream maker Humprhy Slocombe, which Eater reports has a near identical dessert to the Fallon flavor - chocolate-covered Ridge potato chips swirled with caramel in Tahitian vanilla. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s flattering when people look at your work and want to use it as a point of reference,&amp;quot; Humphry Slocombe co-owner Jake Godby said in a statement to Eater. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s altogether a different matter though when it is a corporation taking the work of a small neighborhood ice cream shop and simply duplicating it on mass scale with no credit.&amp;quot; More from Delish: The Real Scoop - Testing Serving Sizes at Famous Ice Cream Shops Thus far, neither Fallon nor Ben &amp;amp;amp; Jerry&amp;#039;s has responded to accusations of a copy-cat dessert. But Fallon did fight back with Colbert, calling his competitor&amp;#039;s ice cream a &amp;quot;palate cleanser for Tosh.0.&amp;quot; Of course, just like a late night ratings war, ultimately the ice cream victor will be determined by the consumer. So tell us, which ice cream flavor is most appealing to you? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
