July marks not only National Ice Cream Month but also Canada's 153rd birthday and for the first time ever, Halo Top Creamery is introducing an exclusively Canadian pint collection. The trio includes favorite Canadian flavors like Butter Tart, Maple Pecan and Chocolate Honeycomb, each of which was inspired by some of the nation's best sweet treats. As ever, Halo Top's pints offer a better-for-you take on sweetness, as they come in at less than 360 calories per pint.
Fortunately for Canadians, the new Canadian Halo Top pints are permanent additions to the brand's collection. While Butter Tart boasts a caramel frozen dessert base and butter tart filling swirls, pieces of pecan and pie crust, Maple Pecan combines the indulgent tastes of maple syrup, brown sugar and crunchy pecans.
