Hidden Valley Ranch and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream have a sweet and savory frozen treat for Walmart shoppers
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is continuing its exclusive limited-time flavor partnership with Walmart, and this time the company has churned up a treat that’s been made in honor of Hidden Valley Ranch.
The Brooklyn-based, French-style ice cream company, which has made headlines for other unexpected sweet and savory flavors, will make its "Hidden Valley Ranch x Van Leeuwen" flavor available at 3,500 Walmart stores nationwide.
Customers who are bold enough to try the ranch-flavored will be able to find it starting on Monday, March 20, which also happens to be National Ranch Day, a recent press release explained.

Van Leeuwen’s press release states the ice cream "boasts the savory flavors of ranch" while also having a "touch of sweetness" that can be paired with salty snacks.
"We know that Hidden Valley Ranch goes with just about everything – pizza, carrots, French fries – but ice cream is a first for us," Rachel Garrison, an associate director at Hidden Valley Ranch, said in a statement.
"We are so excited to partner with Van Leeuwen, the expert in limited-edition, premium flavors, to bring together this creamy mix of savory and sweet," she continued. "Insider tip? Top your scoops with crushed pretzels or potato chips for a perfect salty crunch."
