Candy Center Bar

Make your own floats: Bring some soda options, including club soda, lemon and lime, and ginger beer, so people can make their own floats. For example, pair our Strawberry Shortcake bar with club soda for a fruity treat, or dip our Original Bar in root beer for that retro float experience.

Dessert charcuterie board: Forget cheeses and cured hams. After a savory BBQ, switch things up with a charcuterie board of sweet, icy goodness. Load it with Good Humor bars, colorful ice pops, fresh seasonal fruit, and crunchy toppings like nuts, cookies and pretzels.

Frozen dessert fruit salad: Give the classic fruit salad a cool upgrade by mixing in chunks of your favorite Good Humor bars for sweet, icy relief. (Just don’t forget to remove the sticks!)

Tips for Keeping Frozen Treats Cool Outdoors

Keep your cool with these simple tips:

Pack smart: Use a cooler or insulated bag with plenty of ice packs or dry ice for extra staying power. If using dry ice, handle with care. Always wear gloves or use a towel and ensure good ventilation.

Serve in rounds: Bring out just a few treats at a time to avoid melt disasters before they’re enjoyed.

Find the shade: Keep your cooler out of direct sunlight to help everything stay frozen longer.

Add insulation: Line your cooler with a towel or newspaper for extra insulation.

Keep it closed: Resist the urge to peek. Opening the cooler too often lets warm air in.

The Sweetest Way to End a Summer Day

When the grill cools down and the last game of tag wraps up, there’s no better way to wrap up a summer gathering than with some refreshing BBQ or picnic desserts. Whether you’re serving up fruity pops, creamy cones, or nostalgic ice cream sandwiches, Good Humor's frozen treats bring the perfect chill to a sun-soaked day.
