Okay, I know it's National Running Day, but given the choice I had to celebrate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Right?

To honor Naitonal Chocolate Ice Cream day today, all you need to do is locate some chocolate ice cream--yes, Rocky Road and Triple Chunk are suitable fill-ins.  Eat the chocolate ice cream in a bowl, or a lovely cone: waffle, sugar, or plain (my favorite, because I think you get more). Voila, you have celebrated the day.  Fun, right?  But, what if you do this more than once a year, say almost everyday?  Well, here's a fun idea from the Food Network.   Or this milk shake recipe from Miracle Whip.

Here are my three favorite chocolate ice cream stops, let me know yours.

1) Antoinette's Sweets in Depew
