This year, the Cold Stone creamery is introducing several new Valentine's Day treats, including decadent chocolate fudge truffle sweets and a spicy strawberry ice cream.
Since it wouldn't quite be Valentine's Day without a chocolate-flavored something, there's a cake, ice cream cones and bite-sized chocolates for those who like to stick to what they know. For the more adventurous eaters out there looking to heat up the festivities, Cold Stone's Red Hot Strawberry ice cream cone is the real knockout. This treat includes brownie bits, fudge, strawberries and a whipped topping that's like getting to eat a bunch of desserts in one. While it may look like an ordinary strawberry cone that's been loaded with a bunch of toppings, the spice in this ice cream will heat you up throughout the cold winter months.
