I know- we all love a visit to DQ in the summer. Who doesn't have a favorite treat from childhood- mine was a vanilla cone, dipped in butterscotch and rolled in that crunchy topping. My husband was a fan of the Peanut Buster Parfait. I still, every once in awhile, love the idea of going there. I think it is more of the ritual of the summer ice cream visit- sitting outside and eating a cool treat, rather than -Wow I love this stuff. I think this, because every time we go- its just OK. My kids get the Buster Bars or Orange Star type things... and rarely finish them. Someone ends up with some color on their face that doesn't clean off easily or an upset tummy.
We've been talking this week about going for ice cream on Sunday after a mother's day softball game. Everyone thought of DQ to begin with- but I think we may try another option. We have a lot of great local ice cream shops. Many of them use local ingredients and even organic ones. My favorite place has a Salted Butter Caramel flavor.... made with local caramels! They have outdoor seating to boot!!
Try your local ice cream shop this summer- you may find some new favorite summer time treats and rituals!
