Recently a new treat opened in our neighborhood, Rita's Ice!
If you're on the east coast, you're probably already a big fan.
If you're on the west coast, then you're in for a big treat!
Rita's Italian Ice was founded nearly 30 years ago, in 1984 by Bob Tumolo.
He opened the first in location in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and named it after his wife, Rita.
Italian Ice, also known as "water ice" is a unique process where the water is spun and chilled
no lower than a 22 degree Celsius removing all the air molecules
to get the smooth consistency differentiating it from a shaved ice or snow cone.
It feels like eating fresh fallen snow!
The ice is made fresh daily with real fruit and can be flavored with over 60 different flavors, including sugar-free,
so you can have a unique experience every time you go and find your favorites!

My favorite part of Rita's Ice is the frozen custard.
It comes in regular and light, and they are both delicious!
There are several different treats to choose from at Rita's Ice.
Misto: A combination of your favorite Italian Ice and Old-Fashioned Custard blended together.
Blendini: Your favorite Italian Ice and Old-Fashioned Custard together with a mix-in topping!
Gelati: Layers of your favorite Italian Ice and Old-Fashioned Custard. This is the #1 seller and my favorite too!
In addition, you can get milkshakes and sundaes with unlimited toppings!
All toppings at Rita's Ice are brand-names, like Reeses, M&M's and Oreos!
In addition to in-store treats, you can also take home custard cookie sandwishes and frozen custard cakes!
The Italian Ices and Old-Fashioned Custards are also available to take home by the quart!
We are big Rita's Ice fans!
We love the ice, the custard, and the great people there!
We also love a company that gives back.
Rita's Ice helps raise money with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
and has raised and donated over $3.5 million to fund pediatric cancer research!
And now for the best part!!
