Here’s a quick look at what Jeni’s has planned:The first 50 Splendid Rewards members in line at every scoop shop will receive a super limited Ice Cream for Breakfast Day mug. To be among the lucky few winners in each shop, fans are encouraged to arrive early before doors open at 9 a.m.

Last year’s runaway hit, Maple Soaked Pancakes, triumphantly returns to shops in scoops and pints on Feb. 4. Charged with fluffy pancake bites suspended in swirls of salted butter and real Vermont maple syrup ice creams, this flavor captures the spirit of the beloved morning meal
