Ice Cream in Pretzel Cones, Miller's Twist, Philadelphia
This is a guest post from CakeSpy.
The best invention, possibly ever: ice cream in pretzel cones. Honestly, the combo is all WIN, no lose.
I discovered this feat of awesomeness at Miller's Twist, a pretzel-hot-dog-ice-cream vendor in the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.
After being drawn in by the sign for Butter Brickle ice cream (a flavor you really don't see enough), I noticed that I could get a cake or wafer cone, like a jerk...or, for a mere $1.25 more, I could get either a waffle, chocolate, cookie, or pretzel cone.
Pretzel Cone! No contest!
The sweet, creamy ice cream against the sturdy, salty-carby-crackery pretzel cone, was basically the best thing ever. It was a sweet and salty combo which called to mind the decadence of french fries and a shake, but was devoid of the greasy sogginess that can occur when you dip your fries. The pretzel cone stood the test of cone consumption time, not collapsing under the weight of the ice cream, and not leaking or getting soggy toward the end.
Butter brickle in a pretzel cone was a very delicious combo, but to bravely test out another option for you, I returned the next day and got another pretzel cone, this time with peanut butter ripple ice cream.
It was also, I am happy to report, quite delicious. So, to review: if you are in Philadelphia, get yourself to Miller's Twist for a pretzel cone!

I live close to Philly and a lot of ice cream places offer pretzel cones in the area. Love them.
Whoa. AWESOME IDEA.
I've seen a couple ice cream places with pretzel cones, but I've never tried one. Maybe I should get on that?
