lots of flavors, however long it takes me

Everything But The...


I was intimidated by the name but decided to delve in anyway, as the promise of heath bar, chocolate covered almonds, white chocolate chunks and peanut butter cups awaited me in Everything But The...

I've started to become a hybrid of lazy and greedy (attractive, huh?) and no longer scoop my ice cream, but rather dig spoon first into whatever strikes my fancy. I also have forgone the few-second-microwave bit to soften said ice cream, due to aforementioned laziness and my absolute aversion to the word "nuke."

That said, upon first glance the flavor appeared to just be vanilla ice cream. Upon first dig...and second and even third, I didn't notice much of the "everything" I was promised. A few more digs and I was a little bit more successful. The white chocolate chunks were pretty substantial and I enjoyed them greatly. When I was younger, our butcher used to sell these incredible Swiss white chocolate bars that my dad would put in the fridge and we'd break off pieces little by little and these chunks dug up (ba dum chh!) those memories. The almonds were also on the large side as they remained whole, as were the peanut butter cups, roughly the size of Trader Joe's peanut butter cups (aka crack) and I must note I never got any heath bar in my serving. Perhaps I gave up too soon (likely) but the blame can't be placed solely on me.

To cushion the blow, I may or may not have bought myself an oversized heath bar cookie to compensate a few days later. "May."
