Happy Fourth of July!

Trying to find some super cool Independence Day Ice Cream treats for you, and it has been quite a struggle.

I found a couple to get you in the mood though...

Thinking frozen treats and red, white, and blue,the first thing that comes to mind is being about seven years old, standing in line at the Washington Monument, and Mom and Dad buying us those rocket pops from a vendor. . What a treat! It certainly made the line go faster (or at least it seemed...) I also remember thinking how cool it was that our popsicle mimicked the monument ahead of us It looks like it is a Blue Bunny treat that we had: Bomb Pop, Jr.: cherry, lime and blue raspberry on a stick! Added bonus? I just found a Blue Bunny coupon! Yay!

On my search for Rocket Pops, I also found them called Firecracker Pops as well as the Blue Bunny Bomb Pops. Though Firecracker Pops aren't exactly the treats we had, but they look pretty close as well -- I am sure though, in 1986, our treats did not have an exploding candy top. I would have remembered that! A search on Google also brought up a listing of tons of recipes to make your own "rocket pops."

I am headed up to Concord, Vermont for the fourth, but if I were home, I certainly would be making these little fellas from BakeSpace. How cute!

Have a great fourth of July -- full of frozen treats!

Ice Cream Infused Beauty

Love Philosophy! I totally adore the "philosophy" of this brand...to live life better and to live joyously and the product packaging totally ropes in the designer in me. So what else can possibly keep me coming back for more but fabulous ice cream infused scents. Philosophy strikes a cord with all us ice cream lovers and offers up a sweet Raspberry Sorbet and Strawberry Milkshake 3-in-1 product. So go ahead and wash, condition, and scrub minus the cherry on top!

Everybody needs a pal...A Pint Pal that is

How ingenious! Of course I would never eat straight from the pint ;) but if I did this is the best creation ever. Seriously I usually wrap the pint with paper towels so I can comfortably dig away. Now with the Pint Pal my problems are solved. Love it...get a Pal today.

Post a day throughout July to celebrate National Ice Cream month!

Today, July 1, is Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day

We start July off with National Ice Cream Month as well as today being Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. What could be finer?

Many things come to mind with Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. It brings back to mind the list I made a while back of the Top 10 Craziest Ice Cream Flavors. In the meantime, Arianna sent another good one: Thai Black Bean Ice Cream.

This also makes me want to visit Udder Delight Ice Cream House and Jeni's Ice Cream which were also in that post and certainly had some very creative flavors. If you live near Rehoboth Beach, Deleware or Columbus, Ohio, today might be the day to pay them a visit!

I think my most creative flavors have been:

1. Lisa's White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie Crunch (I promise to post this recipe soon!)
2. Vanilla Bean Jelly Bean (OK, maybe I just like the name the best!)
3. Shirley Temple Ice Cream
   

There are a couple of good ones in the works, but I don't want to post them until they are tried and true!

What is the most creative flavor you have ever tried or made? Post a reply and let us know (be sure to include your email) and enter for a chance to win a coupon for a free pint of Ben and Jerry's! Change of date: Let us know by this Saturday, July 5.

July is National Ice Cream Month!

Happy Happy Happy National Ice Cream Month!

To celebrate the best month of the year, we're going to make it our goal to do a post-a-day about ice cream. Don't worry, no test on July 31, but you will leave the month a little more ice cream savvy!
