Graeters Ice Cream - Peppermint Sundae: It’s almost winter, but there’s always time for ice cream! Underneath this sundae lies a generous amount of bundt cake and hot fudge, making for a good blend of hot and cold. The seasonal peppermint stick ice cream is a nice touch, but the peppermint flavor is faint, and it mostly tastes like vanilla ice cream after the first few bites. However, the peppermint pieces pair surprisingly well with the ice cream. This sundae is very filling, so be sure to share it with a friend. Score: 9/10
