Squiggley's, Carolina Beach, NC

What’s for dessert? Well if you’re anything like me, this may be one of the toughest questions to answer. Brownies, cookies, cakes, pies, candies, chocolates, fruit, pudding, the list goes on! With so many yummy options how do you choose the one that will truly satisfy? Search no further, Squiggley’s Ice Cream and Treats has come to the rescue!
At this unique southern set parlor there are hundreds of combinations for you to build your own ultimately satisfying sweet desire. My favorite combo is blueberry oreo, though you can choose anything from candy bars to home made brownies and pumpkin pie to mix in with a cup or cone full of creamy ice cream. Usually packed, standing on line gives you an opportunity to go over the menu of goodies and design your dream dessert. The best part is there is no limit, and the more fillings you choose the bigger your treat! Seriously folks, the list features fruit, baked goods, candy, nuts, all to be mixed in with a serving of vanilla ice cream.
The ice cream is loaded into the Squiggley, a big machine with a spiral drill, your selected toppings are loaded in and as one of the Squiggley’s girls presses down on the handle the spiral drill plunges down into the bowl of the machine and after a little noise, out comes your perfectly blended custom made ice cream dream! There is even an all-fruit Squiggley option, which is made entirely of fruit blended into a sweet and satisfying sorbet-like desert.
Now I’ve never been to Cold Stone Creamery, but come on! What could possibly compare to customizing your own ice cream and then having a huge drill blend it right before your very eyes (not to mention the sticker they give you each time). It’s like desert and a show, and I never get tired of the thrill. The only down side is the highly addictive quality. So if your ever in Carolina Beach, NC, be sure to check out this dream come true.
