Ever since I can remember my absolute favorite ice cream has been mint chocolate chip. I always wanted mint chocolate chip ice cream cake for my birthday. Unfortunately, my love for mint chocolate chip ice cream did not extend to the rest of my family, so I usually ended up with chocolate or chocolate chip ice cream cake. In other words, boring! I know I am supposed to be talking about these cupcakes but I just have to tell you about this great ice cream place near my house. It is called Capannari’s. And they have THE best ice cream. The best ice cream I have ever had. I only allow myself to go one time per summer, otherwise things would get out of hand real fast. This summer, I tried an ice cream flight (think wine flight). Best decision I ever made. You get 4 small scoops of ice cream. I chose chocolate peanut butter, Frango mint, cake batter and coconut. It was so good, and only $4.50! So, if you are ever in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, check it out!
