News: Little Debbie Holiday flavors

[New for 2023] Hudsonville keeps pushing out more and more of these Little Debbie flavors, though technically I probably should have thrown these in to the other holiday post!

Little Debbie Christmas Ice Creams

Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes : chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake pieces and holiday sprinkles

Cherry Cordials : cherry-flavored ice cream with cookie pieces, chocolatey flakes and a cherry swirl

Christmas Tree Cakes : white cake-flavored ice cream with yellow cake pieces, green sanding sugar and a red icing swirl

I wouldn't expect a lot at under $3 a pint, but hey, fun is fun right? If you try these, let me know what you think. Until next time!

News: Holiday Flavors 2023

[New for 2023] This is probably the most fun photo that I've taken in awhile. I wasn't expecting whole foods to just group all 3 of these brands on the same shelf. Was someone planning ahead for the social media crowd? If so, bravo!

Dolcezza and Milk Bar on sale for $6, McConnell's for $8

Van Leeuwen Kettle Corn Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2023] Hey, guess what? I remembered to read the flavor description before diving in to the (faux) pint today. Also, is everyone ok with all the Tillamook and Van Leeuwen reviews this year? Unfortunately the freezer aisle just isn't that exciting this year so mixing in these new (to me) brands has helped keep things going. Anyway, let's scoop in to...

Tillamook Peppermint Bark Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2023] Good news, I finally found the other new Tillamook holiday flavor! It seemed like every place kept getting the sugar cookie flavor but never this one, but no more!

Friendly's Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2023] As I mentioned in my last post, I've had a full freezer for months and yet I've done a not so great job of keep up with things. Here is another example of something I bought mid summer, finally opened in mid September and am now posting in November. In other words, you probably won't find this one anymore, but maybe you can try it next you if this review inspires you to do so. Let's take a long delayed look at....

Blue Bunny Strawberry Shortcake Mini Bars

[New for 2023] So, I have a problem. Despite not buying/covering a ton of new products this year, I still have a freezer full of ice cream. Part of it is changing tastes, part of it is missing the days of old, and the final part is that a lot less ice cream is being eaten in our house. It happens. I kind of wish I could purge and start over, but no way I would waste all that ice cream. What I'm trying to say is that I apology for the weird ebb and flow of the blog this year. Maybe 2024 will flow be better. Maybe I'll even get the freezer cleaned out by 2024. Either way, let's unwrap what I picked up the other day.
