Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Honey Theme Week.
I'm celebrating my brother's birthday today. Good excuse for some ice cream, cake and chocolate.
Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb Ice Cream
Today's Organic Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb Ice Cream was from Alec's Ice Cream (Petaluma, CA).
This was a satisfying, tasty blend of textures and flavors: rich, creamy peanut butter-infused ice cream, crunchy pieces of honeycomb toffee, and hearty pieces of chocolate fudge. All the flavors tasted authentic.
This ice cream was especially deliciously rich and refreshing, on a hot August day.

Chocolate Horses and Honey Cake
The small dark chocolate horses from Candy Cottage (Las Vegas, NV), had subtly sparkly golden manes and pale, shiny green eyes. They pranced across a frosted field of delicious (gluten-free) Medovik honey cake.
These small dark chocolate horses were designed as cupcake toppers. A larger cake allowed a small herd to frolic and enjoy the extra space, blissfully unaware of their ultimate fate. Gulp.
Candy Cottage makes several novelty and animal shaped chocolates. (Now I know where to go when I'm looking for chocolate squirrels.)
