One of the things that I love about childhood is how far a simple gesture goes; how quickly a pat on the back, treat, hug or tickle turns a frown upside down. And as a busy mom of two, I recently found the treat of all treats that brings a smile to any occasion, be it a birthday party, friendly barbeque, picnic, t-ball game or family gathering: Hoodsie Cups.

Apparently if you’re from New England, there’s a good chance you’ve already been clued in to this childhood tradition, but I discovered it only recently in my 30s. Be as it may, I’m thankful to have finally tasted Hoodsies, and I intend on keeping my freezer stocked with these simple, yet delicious ice cream treats in the event that I need to brighten one of my children’s days.

The Hoodsie Cup, which has proven itself a family-favorite since 1947, is a yummy treat that consists of the perfect consistency of creamy chocolate and vanilla ice cream, almost evenly divided in a tiny 3 oz. cup. It’s the right size for any dessert or snack – not too big and not too small – and kids can easily pull the lid off themselves… just give them a spoon and they can start scooping.

When my turn comes to be “snack mom” for my son’s baseball game this season, I’ll load the ice chest with Hoodsie Cups. For my daughter’s birthday – she insists on Disney’s Frozen theme – I plan to serve frozen ice cream cups. And, I’m extremely excited to introduce the Hoodsie Cup to my family members at our upcoming spring barbeque, where I know I’ll see some smiles spread across their faces.

Yep, this super easy, affordable treat is now on the top of my list for relaxed ways to cheer up loved ones and add fun to any event. For busy moms out there like me, I recommend trying them for your family. You can grab them at your nearest grocery store. They’re so good!
