One creamy and delicious side trip to our blogger adventure in Vermont was a chance to explore the Ben and Jerry’s headquarters.  There you can tour the facilities, order a scoop of your favorite flavors, browse the gift shop or even visit the “Flavor Graveyard” where retired flavors are laid to rest. Check out our facebook page for a photo tour!

I picked up a copy of the Ben and Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream and Dessert Book in the gift shop and wanted to share one of the recipes with you.  Their recipe for a “Vermont Sweet Tooth” ice cream sundae was the perfect fit.

The key ingredient, of course, is Vermont pure maple syrup.  Luckily one of our new farmer friends gave us a bottle of maple syrup sourced right from his property!  Along with some chopped apple and walnuts spooned over Ben and Jerry’s Vanilla ice cream, and you have a quintessential Vermont dessert.
