Frappuccino Happy Hour

As much as I've tried to refrain from getting Frappuccinos at Starbucks (to be honest, I think it HAS been a while), I wanted to share this great deal with you all that starts today!

From May 3rd through the 12th between 3-5pm, Frappuccinos are 1/2 price, woohoo! Be sure to check with your local Starbucks to verify that they are a participating location, although I think the majority of them should be.

Like I said, I haven't had a Frappuccino in a long time, but this deal might be the perfect time for me to try out the new Caramel Ribbon Crunch, mmm.  If you're a fan of these drinks, be sure to head over to a Starbucks during the specified time!

Graeter's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Peanut butter and chocolate? Yes please!  You may recall that I had tried Graeter's ice cream for the first time in Seattle, and since then I am happy to report that I have found a store near my apartment that carries them as well!

This peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream is very similar to the vanilla chocolate chip I tried previously, with the addition a smooth, rich peanut butter taste in the ice cream base.  I don't know if it was this particular pint, but I did notice that there were a lot more of the giant chunks of chocolate in the vanilla version compared to this peanut butter one.  I guess I'll just have to buy another pint of this to make sure, haha. Anyone that is a peanut butter and chocolate fan will LOVE this, guaranteed.
