This is my all-time favorite ice cream I always enjoy at Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Stores. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream was one of the original 31 flavors when Baskin-Robbins first opened stores in 1945. In 2022, 77 years later it is still one of their most popular flavors.

An empty heart-shaped candy box would work too. Frequently, I use wood boards, slate, ceramic, etc. … Continue reading
