While I was there, she introduced me to Blue Bell peppermint bark ice-cream. It was love at first spoonful. creamy, minty white chocolate ice-cream with chunks of peppermint bark in it. It’s heaven on Earth.

I decided I need this in my life – and not just during the holiday season when Blue Bell makes it.
