Candy’s HOMEMADE
ICE CREAM
Schell’s
When a business has Candy in its name, it’s almost obligated to sell confections. And Candy’s does that in spades. Its extensive menu of hand-dipped ice cream includes Almond Joy, birthday cake, Boston cream, Cookie Monster, caramel brownie, Hawaiian delight, Milky Way, snickerdoodle, teaberry, tiramisu, graham cracker and jalapeno. It also offers all kinds of ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cakes and to-go sundaes. Its hot-food menu is just as loaded, featuring hot dogs, hamburgers, wings, fish sandwiches, barbecues, beef briskets, chicken fingers, shrimp baskets, fries, corn nuggets, broccoli bites, beer battered onion rings, mac and cheese bites, spicy fried pickles, breaded mushrooms, mozzarella sticks and loaded tater tots.
Since 1952, Berks Countians have been shelling out cash at Schell’s. As its full business name implies, the Muhlenberg Township landmark is much more than a place to snack on some frozen treats. You can get dinner, dessert and an evening’s worth of entertainment in one place. The Dairy Swirl features numerous flavors of hand-dipped and soft-serve ice cream, hand-spun milk shakes, water ice, frozen yogurt, sherbet and cho-chos. The restaurant offers barbecue, hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, fried Cheese Cubes, ham and fish sandwiches, and fries. A 27hole mini-golf course awaits for post-meal fun.

MARKET & CREAMERY
What do chickens have to do with ice cream? In the case of The Nesting Box Market & Creamery, quite a bit. In 2016, Timi and Keith Bausher launched a cage-free egg operation on their Albany Township farm. It quickly became a smashing success, so the couple decided to try their hand at another farm-based delicacy. The Nesting Box’s ice cream is handcrafted, allowing the duo to assert complete control over the flavor combinations. And they go all out. Some recent examples: pina colada, strawberry rhubarb, orange creamsicle, lemon blueberry, root beer float, pumpkin gingersnap, caramel apple streusel, pumpkin cheesecake, salted caramel chocolate pretzel and banana peanut butter fudge. Along with its farm market, the Baushers operate a mobile event trailer specializing in scoop service for weddings and festivals. They also sell their concoctions to restaurants and local parlors throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 230 Snyder Rd., Kempton |
