Ice Cream. Potato Chips. And Cake. Is There Anything More to Life?
by Elizabeth Sexton
If you give a celeb-writer a story on Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, she is gonna try it.
Insert: me, celeb-writer.
After writing about Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Snack, I started fantasizing about the sweet and salty combo of potato chips and ice cream. Could I make this genius-miracle myself, I wondered.
At the time, all I had in-house was a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos and some off-brand cookie dough ice cream in the freezer. I’d have to wait.
When I finally caught Jimmy’s Late Night snack at my local 7-11, I waited until my craving was just right (following a killer workout) and I caved.
It was as good as I imagined, which makes me happy to see Fallon pushing the flavor heavily on television. I'm a firm believer that happiness shared (like a scoop or two of "Snack") will somehow make its way back to me.
Most recently, he and Martha Stewart had a meeting of the spatulas to come up with an ice cream cake based on the new treat. They used scoops of the ice cream with a layer of waffle cone and topping of potato chips.
I sense another craving coming on.
