Daily Candy Kids Mention

Daily Candy Kids sent out this cute email which mentioned Dandy Don’s Ice Cream Social in a Box.  For a birthday party that’s better than everyone else’s, they recommend four actions to take.

We like option #2:

“Fly in an Ice Cream Social in a Box from L.A.s finest, Dandy Don’s (we’ve tasted it, and it’s well worth the shipping).”

Love the Chowhounders

I was reading through some Chowhound threads today and remembered this awesome post about Dandy Don’s Ice Cream in pints from back in 2003.  Here’s the link if you want to check it out for yourself: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/56229.

Shelley Kelley starts out by saying, “I have heard from a friend of a friend that this is the absolute best ice cream on earth. This friend is an absolute chowhound, so the referral has some teeth to it.”

After finding some of our ice cream in How’s Market in Pasadena, she liked the White Pistachio flavor the best. Here’s what she said, “This was lovely, folks. A nice base (think of Ben & Jerry’s or Haagen Das Butter Pecan base) with loads of Pistachios. Believe it or not, nut texture seems to offer different intensities of flavor here. In the mix are whole pistachios, roughly chopped pistachios, and finally, finely chopped pistachios. The effect is really very pleasant, the flavor good, and well balanced.”

After that, Paddy, another poster, added this comment, “Got some DDs white pistach from the Handy Market on Magnolia yesterday and sampled this eve – wow!
I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of pistachio ice cream, having eaten it as a staple on countless European holidays in my youth (it was the only thing that kept me quiet on those interminable Loire chateau tours and Venetian gondola rides, apparently).
Compared to the French sludge and the Italian species, this stuff is ambrosia. Really. I won’t embellish on the excellent description already proffered. What I shall say is that having tasted Dandy Don’s WP, I’m now determined to sample every flavor out there. And now I know what EVERYONE is getting for Christmas this year.”

Don’t forget that you can buy our pints online. Plus, we’ve added a new shipping interface that allows us to calculate shipping individually, saving our customers lots of money (no more guesswork on shipping rates). Enjoy!

Century Plaza’s Outdoor Ice Rink Features Dandy Don’s New Scoops on a Stick

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream is very proud to be alongside Krispy Kreme Donuts and Teezer Mix serving the outdoor skaters at the The Century Plaza Hotel’s new outdoor Ice Rink. In addition to providing our classic sundae bar, we are also serving our new Scoop on a Stick.

The Scoop on a Stick is an ice cream scoop hand dipped in chocolate then rolled in nuts, sprinkles, and even Oreo Cookie crumbles. Skaters may choose Vanilla, Chocolate, or Peppermint Stick ice cream for the Scoop on a Stick.

We’re highlighting Scoops on a Stick at the rink because they’ve been so well received by all demographics when and wherever we’ve introduced them, says Dandy Don. Always go with a winner!

The Scoop on a Stick was also featured at the American Idol finals and Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang fund raiser at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

Scoops on a Stick and Dandy Don’s traditional sundae bar with 10 toppings will be available at The ice Rink through Feb. 18.

Dandy Don’s Comes Home From the 2001 Los Angeles County Fair With 6 Gold Medals

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream entered some of its super-premium ice cream in the Los Angeles County Fair’s dairy products competition. The ice cream was judged against a standard of excellence. Those flavors which scored 100 out of 100 points received a Gold Medal. Dandy Don’s took home six Gold Medals.

“We submitted some of our off-the-wall flavors and our new Chocolate made with Schokinag German cocoa,” said Dandy Don. The winning not-so-standard flavors are Banana, Cinnamon, Cookies & Cream, Dulce de Leche, and Green Tea. The new version of their classic Chocolate ice cream also won Gold.

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream is made in Van Nuys and delivered to fine restaurants, hotels, country clubs, and markets all over Southern California.

If you want some of our Gold-Medal-winning ice cream, please call us at 800 DANDY DON or 818 994 0111.
