At Expo West, Ice Cream for Bears introduced honey-sweetened Sundaes in 3.5-ounce cups, sold packs of four that come in two varieties. Ice Cream for Bears makes its Sundaes with grass-fed dairy, appealing to fans of sweet and salty flavors with Caramel Dunes (vanilla ice cream with caramel ribbons) and chocolate lovers with Waves of Fudge (vanilla ice cream with a fudge ribbon.)
As interest in clean eating grows, honey has emerged as a sweetener of choice for consumers who want indulgence without compromise. Rather than using cane sugar stripped of nutrients, Ice Cream for Bears makes the most of unrefined, nutrient-packed raw honey. The demand for honey-sweetened indulgences signals a broader shift in how people think about sweetness, not just for the sake of flavor, but as an ingredient with a story and a standard to meet.
