Vanilla Chocolate Almond Ice Cream
Trader Joe’s is the greatest, they have all kinds of things you probably don’t need but when you see it in the aisle, you feel compelled to grab it. That’s where I found these chocolate covered almonds. I develop some of my best recipes by just shopping and picking up new ingredients.
