Before and After

This is just normal cookie dough ice cream. Still delicious
but definitely not BEFORE AND AFTER

Long Story: So I went out to Herell's tonight when my family and friend came to visit me! It was crowded, as per usual on a warm, Saturday night. Making a choice was so difficult! (They'd also taken me out to dinner at Tea Pot where I'd had a pork steam bun and seaweed salad. Delish!) In the end I decided on something called "Before and After." No, it's not some sort of diet ice cream! This is Herell's we're talking about here - but it WAS a clever moniker. It was cookie dough (the before!) and baked chocolate chip cookies in vanilla ice cream, and it was absolutely awesome. In a tie between Party in a Cup (birthday cake ice cream, essentially) and this one, I was so glad I chose Before and After.

There was a LOT of cookie dough in this ice cream, and it's smooth, slightly salty (is this normal? I'm not in the habit of eating cookie dough!) flavor was a nice off set from the "vanilla" vanilla. The regular cookies were crunchy and great too, but it was the dough that really made the scoop for me! I also tried my mother's Chocolate Bourbon Walnut or whatever it was. I didn't like that as much... well, not much at all. I would not recommend it!

Short Story: if you like chocolate chip cookies, or cookie dough, or sweets in general, definitely pick up a scoop of Before and After at Herell's in Northampton!
