Hello Darkness

Do your party plans on Monday include serving Eclipse gum, Moon Pies, and Sun Chips? Then no one is going to want to come to your party.

Luckily, you’ll find well-timed, eclipse-themed treats.

To celebrate this astronomical event, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has created “out-of-this-world flavors.”

The Punk Stargonaut collection is inspired by a fictional flight through the galaxy with:

Cosmic Bloom – A tropical delicacy! Citrusy like a mandarin, refreshing like a kiwi, and punchy like passion fruit.

Nebula Berry – Tart like a blueberry and vibrant like a raspberry with an elderflower fragrance.

Purple Star Born – Reminiscent of Concord grape and puckery-like blackcurrants.

Supermoon – Tastes like candied violet and marshmallows.

If the dark of the moon has you longing for dark chocolate, Aglamesis Bro’s has eclipse-themed candy. The Oreo Eclipse is an Oreo on a stick dipped in dark chocolate and topped with a white chocolate disk. The Eclipse Pecande offers pecans draped in layers of rich caramel, white chocolate and dark chocolate.

Because no holiday is complete without a themed cookie from Busken, pick up an Original Iced Eclipse Cookie. Perfect for group viewing, you can pick up a box of 10 (individually wrapped) cookies in Busken shops.

The cookies are made with yellow cookie dough and chocolate icing, then topped with a “galactic finish.”

The collection of local sweet treats guarantees your eclipse viewing will be out of this world!
