The popular British Columbia ice cream chain 'Rain or Shine' is becoming a popular dessert spot due to gourmet toppings such as candied hazelnuts. While the idea of adding nuts to ice cream is nothing new, the sugary coating on these hazelnuts puts a whole new spin on the popular topping.
Rain or Shine has built its reputation on serving Philadelphia-style ice cream made with real dairy and no eggs. The same focus on quality ingredients is also applied to the store's toppings which are handmade from scratch. One of the most popular toppings is the candied hazelnuts, which add a nutty, yet sweet taste to any ice cream. The topping also added a delightful crunchy texture that kids and adults alike can enjoy.
