From the frigid, majestic North (Canada), hails a creature like no other. Is it a bear that took up viking-ing? Or a viking that turned into a bear?

DARS Chocolate – White Mint
I haven’t had chocolate mint ice cream in a very, very long time. I guess this is sort of a proxy, or interim between not having any and when I inevitably do, which I can…
Tirol Chocolate – Petite Mix
