I have to admit that Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches are yummy. I also have to say they’re darn expensive, which is why I don’t get them very often. Still, for a treat, they’re hard to beat.
The silver package with the white polar bear has been …

For Christmas time I decided to buy some different varieties of …

Betty Crocker has a bunch of different frostings. As the years have passed, they’ve added not only new flavors, but some ‘x’ factor that gives some flavors a different edge. For me, though, I’m very partial to their Rich & Creamy line which delivers a taste better …
