Friendly's Reeses Peanut Butter Cup sundaes ... with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Mmmm. So good.

If you have the misfortune of being unfamiliar with Friendly's, their PBC sundae is pretty much what it sounds like. Three scoops of ice cream (vanilla is the default) with hot fudge, their ultra-yummy peanut butter fudge sauce, whipped cream, a cherry, and a peanut butter cup.

When I was about eight, I decided that sounded perfect, so I ordered it and specified my favorite ice cream, mint chocolate chip, at which point the rest of my family looked at me in horror. I think it hadn't occurred to me to consider the combination of flavors, but I'd already ordered it, so I was determined that it was exactly what I wanted. And happily, it turned out to be absolutely brilliant. Probably every single time I've been to Friendly's since (not that often; the local ones all closed in the mid-late 90s), I've gotten the same thing. And it's still delicious.

And we still look at you in horror when you order it. :)

Yep. :-D

There's a Friendly's in Timonium (where we stayed three weeks ago), but I think that's the closest to where I'll be living. Probably only a 15 - 20 min drive, though, in low traffic.

You probably did so the day you met her.

LOL - good point. That was probably the last time we went to a Friendly's in Michigan, too.

Mel, is it *your* fault they all closed?
