The Hype About Hyppo

Need a refreshing treat after a long day in the Florida heat? The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops, which opened in Gainesville in April, is my favorite new spot. With flavors like Mango Habanero, Bourbon Peach and Blackberry Goat Cheese, there's a limitless amount of unique flavors. When your in the fruity mood my personal favorite is Pluot mint. In case you are wondering, a pluot is a hybrid of plum and apricot. Sounds delicious right? But, if your feeling something more on the sweet side, I recommend the Banana Walnut dipped in chocolate.

If you haven't tried this hot spot you should definitely check it out before the cold weather hits Gainesville. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Dessert Devotee

When most people go out to eat, their first thought is, "what appetizer or entree should I order?" I on the other hand, immediately skim to the bottom of the menu to browse the delicacy I call desserts. I should be clear, I do not discriminate. Although anything chocolate will forever have a large place in my heart, anything sugary and sweet will also be eaten, I guarantee it.

My philosophy, no matter how many courses or how full you may be, there is always, under any circumstance, room for dessert. Whether you chose to devour the delicious delights I will tell you about, or just live vicariously through my poor eating habits is your choice. But I can promise, the mouth-watering treats will be your newest guilty pleasures.

Preview the tempting treats to come with my all time favorite, an Oreo cream donut sandwich filled with chocolate peanut butter ice cream from Holey Cream in New York City.
