"Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain Falling from the sky Well there's just one chance in a million That someday we'll make it out alive" (Los Lobos) On our way to lunch in Sturbridge we passed the very cool attention grabbing sign for Wicked Licks, and agreed on the spot to swing by after lunch. Wicked Links isn't a chain and their ice cream isn't made on premises. They bring it in from a Wisconsin creamery. It's a super premium ice cream made with 14% butterfat and a low percentage of air so it comes out super rich and dense. The printing on their cups tells the story - "It's not low-fat, low-calorie or low-anything. You want low calorie? Eat carrots". Anyway, we each ordered a small cup ($3.75) with a free topping. I went with the oddly named Exhausted Parent (Bourbon-spiked espresso ice cream swirled with bittersweet chocolate chunks) and my wife went for Coconut Almond Bliss (coconut ice cream, chocolate flakes, and almond pieces). My topping was crushed sugar cone and her topping was chocolate sprinkles - both were included with the price of the single scoop. I liked my espresso/chocolate ice cream a lot. Great taste and the crushed cone pieces added some nice crunch to the dish. It wasn't the biggest "small" dish I ever had and it wasn't the most expensive "small" dish I ever had, but I thought the quality was very much in line with the price. read more
