Cold Stone Creamery Review and $25.00 GC Giveaway!!

I'm going to tell you a secret-I am an Ice Cream addict! Ask my family and friends one thing I can't live without, and they'll tell you it's ice cream! Just about any flavor, in any shape (bowl, cone, ice cream bar, milkshake, etc) I love it all. And one of my favorite ice cream shops is Cold Stone Creamery! I love the ice cream flavors, the ability to choose from a huge variety of add-ins to personalize my ice cream, and yes, I love their milkshakes too! Usually I order the Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip in the gotta have it size. It is the perfect cool, refreshing snack on a hot summer day! Cold Stone Creamery sent me a gift card for my review, and this time I decided to try a different Signature Creation.

Look at all the ice cream!

And yummy mix-ins!

I ordered the Cheesecake Fantasy, which is cheesecake ice cream with graham cracker crust, blueberries and strawberries mixed in. Wow! I was hooked on my first bite! It's better than cheesecake, and is another great flavor to beat the heat this summer! 

Rich, creamy, cold and delicious!

I also ordered a Personal Creation for my Dad, who was with me. He likes the chocolate ice cream with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups mixed in. I had a couple bites of his, and it was yummy! And, while ordering I noticed that they run specials every day of the week (I never noticed the sign before!). So M, who had ridden along with us, got a free kid's size ice cream with 1 mix-in! She decided to get the chocolate with Reese's mixed in as well, and she totally enjoyed it!

So, would you like some Cold Stone Creamery goodness for yourself? One of my readers will win a $25.00 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery!!
