Review: Dippin' Dots Home Delivery

By Sabrina Condon, Macaroni Kid Brewster-Mahopac-Carmel May 19, 2015

This weekend, we hosted a #MKSummerFun party at Carmel Nursery School and Dippin’ Dots was one of our fantastic sponsors.  Dippin’ Dots has been a favorite of mine since childhood.  I found them at a fair and I was addicted. I even found the on one of my international trips during college!

Dippin’ Dots site was quick and easy to use.  You can order them for your parties, too, and use the Macaroni Kid Reader Discount Code Summer Fun to buy 2 gallons, get a 3rd gallon free, plus free shipping.  I picked out the three flavors I wanted and checked out with 2 weeks to spare before the party.  Their future-order option was perfect, allowing me to perfectly time the arrival on the Dippin’ Dots ice-cream.

The ice cream was delivered to my door with very clear instructions to NOT open the box until the day of the party.  The product is shipped in a reusable foam cooler with dry ice and included spoons and bowls.  The box arrived on Friday, the party was late on Sunday afternoon (that 85 degree day), and we still had plenty of ice left.  I brought the leftover to my son’s pre-school class on Monday, and there’s still plenty of ice left over to have it today at school, too. 

Dry Ice, according to google, is around negative 110 degrees.  Our deep freezer, by comparison, is around zero degrees.  Dippin’ Dots are frozen with liquid nitrogen (commonly used in flash freezing), so your hot summer party becomes a cool breeze! 

There are a large array of flavors, from vanilla to Moose Tracks and everything delicious in between.  They also have no sugar added, sherbet, yogurt, ices and sorbet, so you can find types and flavors to please everyone. 

I definitely recommend Dippin’ Dots home delivery for your next party.  We certainly plan to have it at our next home party!
