This week I had no choice but to satisfy my sweet tooth. I have been passing by McConnel’s ice cream for the past days and finally gave in. When I stopped at the little ice cream shop I found ice cream flavors like dutch chocolate, banana salted caramel and peppermint stick. It’s definitely a treat being that you wont find regular flavors like chocolate and plain ol vanilla. Being the holidays I decided to try the Maple Ginger Cookies ice cream. I love gingerbread and the ice cream has chunks of ginger cookie pieces mixed in. It’s a nice sweet flavor of cinnamon and ginger, it’s not too sweet and the flavors don’t overpower one another.

Each scoop comes with two flavors. For my second option I got chocolate covered strawberries. Its like eating a chocolate covered strawberry, it’s not too sweet. It’s also non dairy, for those of us who can’t handle dairy. Although it’s non dairy it’s still nice and creamy. The ice cream has chocolate flakes that are mixed in with the ice cream. There isn’t a bite where the chocolate flakes are missing.

McConnell’s uses all natural ingredients to make their ice creams. During this holiday season they have an awesome package that comes with all their holiday flavors: Peppermint Stick, cardamon and gingersnaps, reindeer tracks and egg nog. It can be purchased on their website at http://www.mcconnells.com.
