Tis the season for Limited Edition Flavors

I never ever get to catch a segment of the Today show but I gave myself 10 minutes this morning to down my breakfast in front of the TV rather than my computer and glad I did. They had a quick segment on fall Limited Edition flavors with Roker and friends taste testing them all. I love the fall and the flavors that come with it. Sometimes I wish they were year round but maybe then I wouldn't appreciate them so much. It's all about....pumpkin lattes, pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin martinis, pumpkin cupcakes....everything pumpkin. Love it!

So onto the flavors they highlighted and there's more to this than pumpkin. There were four flavors and all the hosts agreed on which they thought was the winner. Interestingly I didn't agree but to each there own. What's your pick?! Read on to the end of this post to see what the Today show gang chose.

My favorite (but to be fair I haven't tasted them all but know I don't even have to because I am biased on the all things Pumpkin....Edy's Pumpkin. 
Get out there and try these while they are around. I have a feeling none of these will disappoint.

Scoopalicious scoops about Ice Cream Sandwiches in Woman's World

I so love reading magazines this time of year because most of them dedicate more than a few pages on frozen treats. And its even more fun to be able to be able to contribute our thoughts on what's worth a try. Check out the most recent article in the July 1 issue of Woman's World, "You deserve the best....Ice Cream Sandwiches" where Bethany and I were able to share one of our favorite treats, the Blue Bunny Birthday Party Ice Cream Sandwich. When Kristina from Bauer Publishing called to ask our opinion on ice cream sandwiches for her article it was way too easy to come up with one as I literally had just walked in the door with a fresh box of Blue Bunny Birthday Party Ice Cream Sandwiches. And Bethany is such a huge cake batter ice cream fan that she too had the same sandwich in mind so we dished about it together. 

As you'll read in the article, The Blue Bunny Birthday Party Ice Cream sandwich is full of confetti sprinkles, swirls of blue frosting, and it has a wonderful cake batter flavor. When Kristina asked us to think about what makes it unique we both agreed that its just not your typical sandwich. One expects chocolate wafers with vanilla ice cream in between but this one has vanilla wafers with confetti filled cake batter ice cream sandwiched between the sweet soft cookies. It's refreshing, sweet, and fun to eat. Oh and light too which is a bonus after daily intakes of ice cream in this heat! I must admit my five year old convinced me to first get them but I quickly became hooked and now they are a staple in our freezer. 

Hopefully its not too late to check out the article because it also has ideas on other good choices for ice cream sandwiches. Speaking of light...another favorite of mine, Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches also got a shout out and our other favorite brand, Turkey Hill, gets a mention for their Limited Edition Strawberry Cheesecake sandwiches which I must admit I have not tried but they sound awesome. 


Thanks Kristina for reaching out to us. We love to share our passion and love for ice cream with the world and your readers!
