Blue Bell is my FAVORITE!


For those that are from Texas or have been to Texas and have ever tasted Blue Bell ice cream know exactly what I am talking about when I say it is the BEST in the world. The one thing I need to have when I visit my parents is Cookies and Cream Blue Bell ice cream. This time I went, I told my parents not to buy any because I have a problem, once I have a bite, I can not stop. I really could eat and entire container of ice cream in 2 days by myself. After we had been there a week, my dad took the kids and I down to Brenham, TX where the Blue Bell Factory is located. We went on a wonderful tour and saw how they made the ice cream and all of the other treats they are famous for. At the end of the tour they gave each person a choice of about 20 different kinds of ice cream. They had my favorite of course and that was the end of me being strong and resisting the urge. It was so good, I am telling you, this is my favorite thing to eat in the whole world. When we got back to my parents' house my dad went to the store with Baylee and Jake, they decided to bring me cookies and cream ice cream home, plus Baylee's favorite which is cookie dough. We had a little ice cream parlor in my parents' kitchen, they even wore the special Blue Bell hats we received. That 1/2 gallon was gone 2 days later. My last night there my Dad went to the store for something else and brought me home another 1/2 gallon for one last indulgence. Since I have been home, I have craved this ice cream. You can only get Blue Bell Ice Cream in most of the southern states and they do have vanilla at most Outback Steakhouses but it is not cookies and cream. If you have not tried it, I encourage everyone to do so. YUMMY!
