Continue ReadingI confessed my love of Good Humor once before with my Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake recipe, now let me do it again. Something about their ice cream bars inspires me. It’s the packaging, the history—and most of all—the delectable flavor combinations. Recently I bought my kids one of their chocolate eclair bars and was instantly inspired…
