Blue Bell Ice Cream is one of the top selling brands of ice cream in the country, even though it is only sold in select markets. It has been around since the 1920’s. They used to deliver ice cream by horse and carriage. I wonder if that qualifies for the first Ice Cream truck?
I had heard of it but never tried it. Recently, I saw a friend’s Facebook comments that Blue Bell was coming to Colorado, then I saw it at my local store.
We went for the “Great Divide” flavor, classic Chocolate and good old fashioned Vanilla, combined but split right down the middle.
It is creamy, so creamy. Delicious. I am one to usually want some nuts or something else on top. But this was perfect all alone. Yum.
Turns out they created a flavor just for Colorado, here is the description from their website:
“Blue Bell creates new flavor –
Rocky Mountain Road Ice Cream –
just for Coloradans”
You can’t find this flavor anywhere but in the great state of Colorado! Rocky Moutain Road Ice Cream is a rich, dark chocolate ice cream combined with dark chocolate-coated peanuts, milk chocolate-coated pecans, white chocolate-coated almonds, and roasted walnuts, all surrounded by a flavorful marshmallow sauce swirl.

Looks like I know what I will be trying next!
