CANTON, Mass., June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The official first
day of summer is right around the corner and Baskin-Robbins, the
world's largest chain of ice cream specialty shops, is kicking off
the beach and BBQ season in a cool way with its lineup of summer

sand, sweet sea creatures made of icing and a pink spoon to make
digging in easy. The cake can be customized with any favorite ice
cream and cake flavor combination and can also be ordered through

ice cream mixed with candy confetti-topped cake pieces and blue
whipped cream.

cream packed with cheesecake bits and swirled around with a
blueberry ribbon.

Sugar Added): A combination of reduced-fat chocolate ice cream
and chocolate-flavored chips.

favorite fluffy, puffy treat. Swirled in pink and purple, for extra
cuteness.

ice cream with a whipped cream-flavored ribbon for a new twist on a
frozen favorite.

featuring cinnamon caramel flavored ice cream loaded with funnel
cake pieces and a fried dough ribbon.

month is Triple Chocolate, the June Flavor of the Month.

Classic Chocolate ice creams, this flavor is sure to satisfy any
chocolate lover. Additional delicious Flavors of the Month are
