Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream is getting into the St. Patrick's Day spirit by unveiling the Green Monster ice cream as its March flavor of the month.
Handel's fans may be familiar with the brand's existing Blue Monster ice cream, which features blue vanilla ice cream studded with OREO cookie pieces and CHIPS AHOY! cookie pieces. The new Green Monster ice cream is a twist on this classic flavor, but swaps blue for green. The new St. Patrick's Day flavor features vibrant green vanilla ice cream with OREO cookie pieces and CHIPS AHOY! cookie pieces all blended into the creamy base. As Jim Brown, Senior Vice President of Relationship Management for Handel’s, says of the new flavor, "We want our customers to feel the luck of the Irish throughout March while enjoying their favorite flavor."
