Coco-nuts about this combo
Uncle’s Ice Cream and Hawaiian Host just brought back one of their limited-edition flavors. With the success of this flavor’s debut last summer, coupled with the recent unbearable heat, this tropical-inspired, frozen treat is available again at retailers islandwide.
This refreshing Toasted Coconut ‘wich features Hawaiian Host mac nut morsels covered in milk chocolate and toasted coconut paired with Uncle’s creamy caramel ice cream. The decadent combo is sandwiched between two housemade oatmeal cookies.
“With tropical favorites, coconut and macadamia nuts, it makes the perfect summer indulgence with our creamy caramel ice cream,” states Paul Logan, co-founder of Uncle’s Ice Cream. “It was a real hit when we first introduced it, and I’m happy to be bringing it back this season.”
