"mix ins" news and stories

If you have ever been to one of these ice cream parlors that allows you to "mix in" toppings with your ice cream, you know that it can be a great deal of fun to create your own blends and that fresh toppings make better additions than whatever already comes in packaged ice creams. Vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries, for example, is much more interesting than store-bought strawberry ice cream. There is no need to go out to make your own creations, though - you can do it at home! David Lebovitz's homemade rocky road ice cream, which was found on Flickr, is made simply by mixing mini marshmallows and almonds (though some of those nuts look suspiciously peanutty to me) into high quality chocolate ice cream. I have no doubt that this concoction tastes better than prepacked rocky road ice creams, which never seem to have quite enough marshmallows.

For something a little lighter, I like to mix things into frozen yogurt - like brownies. Yum!
