Use our chopping tools to prepare a bunch of mix ins (chop oreos with chopper, you get the idea). Then use Handy Scrapers to mix it all together on the frozen stone.
Each guest gets to make their own.
Sounds fun! We have a Coldstone opening in our town in April and we're scheduling an outing there with our MOMS Club to have the kids make their own creations. YUM!!!!
