Hot cocoa when it’s 90 degrees out? Definitely not on my list of things to do, but now you have the chance to savor that hot cocoa flavor in a rich and creamy ice cream. Edy’s brand ice cream, launched their holiday flavors on October 1 and this year Hot Cocoa made the cut.
For this flavor, you have a light chocolate ice cream dotted with soft mini marshmallows. I’m not usually a fan of chocolate ice cream, but this one had a lighter flavor and was more to my liking. It was reminiscent of the flavors of powdered hot cocoa while you are mixing it together for a creamy, rich hot chocolate treat. The marshmallows are what make this flavor. Soft, sweet and fluffy – they taste like they are fresh out of the bag. The ice cream is creamy and slightly rich, but it didn’t fool me and you do know that you are having light ice cream.
The Hot Cocoa flavor joins Edy’s line up of Holiday Flavors including Eggnog, Peppermint and Pumpkin and is available for a limited time.

We love ice cream over at Dine Magazine and this week is a big ice cream week all over. Now the question is, what kind do you love? What flavor or brand beats out all the rest? This week is your time to do a little taste testing.
It starts off on Wednesday, April 29th with 31 cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins. From 5:00 – 10:00 pm, Baskin Robbins will be offering a scoop of your favorite ice cream for only 31 cents. It’s a perfect time to try a new flavor or 2 or 3, but 3 scoops is the max for this promotion. In addition, Baskin Robbins will be donating $100,000 to National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC).
