"There is something really special about two iconic California
brands coming together, and we are thrilled to team up with
McConnell's to create these delicious ice cream flavors." shared
Pat Egan, President & CEO of
See's Candies. "When we started talking about the partnership and
tasting different combinations, we couldn't narrow it down. We're
both so excited for our customers to try them all! We kept thinking
we could pick a favorite, but each one was uniquely great—perfectly
in line with both brands!"
See's Candies has been making quality chocolate and candy since
1921, and even served ice cream at their shops in the brand's early
days. As two legacy companies who prioritize quality and experience
above all, this partnership with McConnell's makes for
a perfect pairing, offering a new and nostalgic expansion for
the brand, while also keeping true to See's motto of Quality
Without Compromise.
"Truly successful collaborations are dependent on so many things
going right. And on that front, this is a dream. For starters, both
McConnell's and See's have incredible histories as heritage,
California brands. But it's the alignment on product that makes
this so exciting. The combination of See's incredible candies and
our delicious ice creams is unmatched, said Michael Palmer, CEO/co-owner of McConnell's Fine
Ice Creams. "Don't wait on a visit to our shops or to go online to
try these flavors – they will go fast!"
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams celebrates its 75th
anniversary this year, and like See's Candies, shares an unwavering
dedication to taste and quality, owning and operate all production
from their McConnell's Family Dairy, and creating ice cream
completely from scratch from locally-sourced ingredients. To
develop the final collaborative ice cream flavors, the McConnell's
and See's teams innovated to merge the top beloved See's Candies
pieces with McConnell's house-made artisan ice cream bases to
create four custom-confection flavors for fans. Available for
$12 per pint online, the flavors
include:
- Vanilla with California Brittle™ – See's buttery
almond brittle – covered in rich, dark chocolate – is the perfect
match to McConnell's classic, full-flavored (R.R. Lochhead) vanilla
ice cream. Topped off with even more crunchy, salt-roasted almonds
and ribbons of chocolate ganache.
- Coffee with Molasses Chips™ – A delicious mash-up of
See's dark and milk chocolate-coated, crispy molasses honeycomb
wafers, bathed in medium-roast, coffee-infused, Central Coast
grass-fed milk and cream, alongside swirls of decadent chocolate
sauce.
- Chocolate with Polar Bear Paws™ – All hail the See's
Polar Bear Paw™ - buttery caramel with salt-roasted peanuts,
enrobed in delicious, white chocolate – and a peanut butter swirl
ride shotgun alongside a McConnell's favorite – Dutchman's
Chocolate.
- Banana Cream with Toffee-ettes™ – Ripe bananas,
pureed into Central Coast milk and cream, a salted caramel swirl,
and handfuls of See's legendary Toffee-ettes™ - roasted almonds,
embedded in rich, Danish butter toffee, enrobed in See's creamy,
milk chocolate (rolled in even more crunchy almonds!).
Beginning Friday, June 28, fans
can find all four collaborative offerings at all McConnell's Fine
Ice Creams Scoop Shops and online at mcconnells.com for nationwide
shipping, while supplies last. Fans are encouraged to stay
