...so we consider it our duty, as Texas citizens, to inform you of the "rotational" flavors of Blue Bell you should be finding in your supermarket's freezer case this month. One of them is Key Lime Pie, which we are dying to try -- because in our distant youth, we had a severe crush on an ice cream called Key Lime Twist (key lime swirled with vanilla). Key Lime Pie is described as "sweet and tangy key lime ice cream blended with crunchy graham cracker crust and a creamy whipped topping swirl." (Of course, as luck would have it, Key Lime Pie is the one July flavor of Blue Bell that was not at our neighborhood supermarket when we checked last night. Casa Linda Albertson's, are you listening?) The other July flavors are Birthday Cake, Caramel Sundae Crunch, Caramel Turtle Fudge, Centennial Cupcake (4-H), Chocolate Almond Marshmallow, Chocolate Covered Cherries, Chocolate Extreme, Mooo Tracks, Southern Blackberry Cobbler, Southern Hospitality, and that summertime perennial: Peaches and Homemade Vanilla. Also: Blue Bell has a new flavor, Candy Jar, described as "your favorite candies -- peanut butter cups, chocolate chunks, peanut brittle, chunks of caramel and chocolate crisp pieces" in a "rich caramel ice cream." |

LUV me some Blue Bell! I can personally vouch for birthday cake---it's right on. I'll have to raid the local grocery stores for Key Lime pie. Thanks for the head's up.
FWIW: If you want a local day trip, go to Dairy Palace in Canton. You can sweat out First Monday and cool off at Dairy Palace with all the Blue Bell you can imagine. It's the only ice cream they serve.

I have a soft spot for Blue Bell birthday cake... something grand about the artificial flavors that reminds me of licking the batter from the spatula mom used to bake Betty Crocker cake mix.
