Eat more ice cream!
On a Sunday afternoon we drove west to New Fairfield, just east of the New York border and west of the well known Candlewood Lake. On the site of the historic “Hubbell House” sits the Candlewood Creamery that provided the perfect spot for an afternoon lunch!
The Candlewood Creamery is an intriguing place in the outskirts of New Fairfield. The shop is an interesting place with lots of bright, colorful artwork on the walls. They have a good variety of ice cream and sorbet flavors, and both hard and soft serve ice cream. They offer cups, cones, sundaes “açaí bowls.” Their prices are modest and they offer good size servings. Their ice cream is produced in Danbury and the gentleman serving us was unsure who produced it.
My chief strategist and soft serve specialist Maureen had a kiddie scoop of soft serve twist with chocolate sprinkles on a wafer cone. Unfortunately the Creamery did not have any coffee ice cream so I had a small chocolate milk shake. This is probably one of the best shakes I have had this year. The shake was thick, creamy and had a rich chocolate flavor. No doubt this was all in the preparation and execution of this shake that took more that a few minutes to make.
If your heading west, check out the Candlewood Creamery and “Eat More Ice Cream” and enjoy the countryside!
