McConnell's Fine Ice Creams is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2024 and it teamed up with another California-based brand, See's Candies, to create a limited-time collection of McConnell's x See's ice cream flavors.
The collaborative ice cream flavors combine the best of See's Candies with McConnell's house-made artisan ice cream bases prepared from scratch with locally sourced ingredients. While Vanilla with California Brittle combines See's buttery almond brittle with McConnell's classic, full-flavored vanilla ice cream, Coffee with Molasses Chips offers a new experience of See's dark and milk chocolate-coated, crispy molasses honeycomb wafers.
The McConnell's x See's ice cream flavors will be available in limited quantities at McConnell's Fine Ice Creams Scoop Shops and online.
