We All Scream for Ice Cream
Of all the color combos for babies and children, chocolate mint is tops on my palette… and it’s pretty far up there on my palate as well. It’s a blending of my all-time favorite ice cream—chocolate chip—and my all-time favorite color—green.
Here’s just a small sampling of products in the yummy color pairing, which inevitably will make us all scream for ice cream:
