Backpacker's Pantry Freeze-Dried Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream - Serves 1

Back to my childhood with our child
March 03, 2012

I hadn't had astronaut ice cream since grade school! Our ten year old decided she needed to buy some when we were at the Kennedy Space Center. She shared her ice cream sandwich flavor and I thought, "Man, this stuff is pretty good. I had forgotten!" We decided we needed to expand our repertoire and ordered the mint chocolate chip flavor through altrec. It arrived quickly and in good shape. And, how much more clean fun can you have with a kid than tearing open a packet of astronaut ice cream and grinning at each other while picking out chunks of the styrofoam looking stuff, popping them in your mouths and letting them dissolve? I can't think of many better ways to spend some quality family time. Thank you!
