I was not familiar with the Graeter’s Ice Cream dessert brand.  After hearing about its award winning ice cream from some family members I decided to to some research. "The brand was founded over 146 years ago in Cincinnati, OH. The fourth-generation family owned and operated company has perfected the art of using the French Pot, a traditional, small batch artisanal process of making ice cream."  Known for their indulgent, premium flavors and ingredients, they’re also widely recognized for their gargantuan gourmet chocolate chips.

I brought home the only three flavors that our local Fry's had available; Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Black Cherry Chocolate Chip, and Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. I assumed we would all share equally, boy was I wrong! 

My husband tried the Black Cherry Chocolate Chip after dinner one night, after consuming about a fourth of it he told me that it was very creamy and tasted delicious. The next night he ending up eating the last 3/4 of it. He says to me as he is holding his stomach "It was so good that I had to eat the whole thing, the chunks of chocolate in it were so huge!" Fortunately for me I was able to get about a teaspoonful to taste for myself, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue what it tasted like. 

My 12 year old sugar addict son opted to try the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. Yes, I hurriedly nabbed a quick teaspoonful from him because he is very much like his father so I assumed it would be gone that night. Funny thing is he didn't scarf his container up in a couple of days, he enjoyed it so much that he made it last for about a week. 

Now you would think that I would get to enjoy the last container of Graeter's that I had brought home but no...  

I happened to walk past my son just as he was enjoying the Madagascar Vanilla Bean ice cream. As I stood there with my eyes wide and my mouth gaping he gives me his I am so cute smile that melts my heart every time. So I shared, making sure this time that I got a decent sized portion.

Now, after getting to enjoy eating more than a teaspoonful I could really understand why my husband ate most of his all at once and why my son took his time. So I ate all of my portion very, very slowly so I could savor every delicious bite.

You might find some of their more than 28 flavors in your local store. If you are on a low glycemic diet Graeter's has 4 different flavors for you to choose from. Visit Graeter's to learn more about this creamy and delectable ice cream and to see what new seasonal flavors they are currently offering. For this month of December it is Peppermint Stick and Egg Nog. I just might have to order them if my grocery store hasn't stocked them yet.
