Bring on the screams!

The ice cream has only been in The Candy Store for six days this year, but there's no denying that it is already a huge hit (just ask our girls - their ice cream serving arm muscles are already getting a work-out!). Who doesn't love a big scoop of hard-packed, cold ice cream on a hot, sunny day? Here at The Candy Store we serve up local ice cream from Tracey's in Renfrew in either cones or cups and top each mouth-watering flavour with one of our oh-so-divine and much talked about gourmet malt balls.




Every week we'll be dishing up the three traditional flavours: Chocolate, French Vanilla and Strawberries & Cream with a feature flavour. Currently in rotation as our feature flavour is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. And coming up we have Maple Walnut and Bearfoot Brownie Fudge!

Did you know that ice cream used to be reserved only for those who could afford such luxuries? The icehouses where the ice cream had to be kept before the days of home refrigeration were very expensive to maintain and therefore only the upper ranks of society could indulge in this creamy concoction. Thankfully Marcel Audiffren of France helped to champion the use of personal refrigeration units for the masses allowing us full-time access to one of summer's hallmark treats. Merci monsieur!

In other news, if you haven't already heard, The Candy Store's own Diane Lenihan was on the A-Channel morning show on Monday talking about candy buffets and favours. If you missed the broadcast but would like a look at the buffet presented, it is currently on display in The Candy Store and really makes a statement! Thanks A-Channel for your wonderful hospitality as usual. We had a blast!
