Top Ten Reviews of 2023 & Other Stuff


It's that time of year again. Boy did 2023 go fast. So I went to gather the stats for 2023 when I realized that I never added the new Google Analytics 4 tag to the theme. In other words, no analytics for 2023.,, Whoops! Thankfully, Blogger has some basic stats which should be good enough to get us a top ten list (I prefer the more accurate analytics version, but it is what it is). Oh, we'll talk about why the blog looks different two, but first the list after the break!


Who will be this year's winner?

Dolcezza King Leo Peppermint Gelato
Dolcezza Coffee & Christmas Cookies Gelato


This was going to be my Christmas day post, but, well, it didn't quite pan out that way. Our whole Christmas schedule got thrown out of whack and I wound up trying this on Christmas but never actually posting about it (though I could have sworn I took notes....). Anyway, let's dive in to the holiday pack that Dolcezza Gelato was nice enough to send over. You've seen Hot Cocoa and Sugar Cookie Dough, so let's dive in to....

Dolcezza Stracciatella Gelato + DG News


I had the two new seasonal Dolcezza pints in my freezer, but I really wanted to scoop this one because I thought I had tried it but apparently I was thinking of the Talenti version.

Van Leeuwen: Cake vs Pie


I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for right now, so let's bring back that age old question of "what's better, cake or pie?" The question is also an excuse to clean up the freezer!

Dolcezza Hot Cocoa Gelato
Dolcezza Sugar Cookie Dough Gelato


[New for Late 2023] Yeah, I'm having way too much trouble deciding which to try first. On one hand, I've been craving chocolate, on the other hand, I would like to compare their sugar cookie pint to that tasty sugar cookie blizzard I just had. Decisions decisions decisions.
