Sweet Summertime! National Ice Cream Day & Lammes Candies

Hot summer nights in mid-July are upon us, but so is National Ice Cream Day. Lammes Candies wants to help you cool down on July 20th with the most flavorful scoops.  National Ice Cream Day falls right in the middle of July and with the long hot days, it makes sense to celebrate this day as a reminder of savoring our summers and slowing down to appreciate life. As a candy company, we are always looking for fun and unique ways to pair our products and ice cream has been top of our list. Check out our chill combinations of Ice Cream and Lammes Candies to help savor this sweet day.

Chewie Pecan Pralines + Butter Pecan or Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Our classic Chewie Pecan Pralines are rich, buttery, and loaded with Texas sourced pecans. Their soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and caramelized flavor are made to complement smooth ice cream.

  • Butter Pecan: Go double pecan! The nutty richness of both treats creates a comforting Southern-style dessert with layers of crunch and creaminess.

  • Vanilla Bean: Vanilla’s subtle sweetness lets the praline’s caramel notes shine, creating a simple, elegant pairing that tastes like summer in a bowl.

Serving Tip: Gently warm a praline and place it top of the ice cream. 


Choc'Adillos + Coffee or Chocolate Ice Cream

Choc’Adillos are famous due to being loaded with crunchy almonds and drenched in rich chocolate. They’re bold, nutty, and indulgent, which makes them the perfect partner for deeper, roasted flavors.

  • Coffee Ice Cream: The espresso-like flavor of coffee ice cream enhances the roasted almonds and caramel center.

  • Chocolate Ice Cream: Chocolate lovers, rejoice! This is an ultra-rich pairing for anyone who believes there's no such thing as too much chocolate.  

Serving Tip: Slice a Choc’Adillo into pieces and fold into softened ice cream for a homemade chunky swirl.


Assorted Nut Clusters + Strawberry or Salted Caramel Ice Cream


Our Assorted Nut Clusters feature combinations of crunchy roasted nuts (pecans, almonds, peanuts, and shredded coconut) wrapped in milk or dark chocolate. Their texture and flavor vary beautifully, offering the perfect contrast to fruity or sweet-and-savory ice creams.

  • Strawberry Ice Cream: The sweetness and slight tang of strawberry balance beautifully with the chocolate and nutty crunch, making for a refreshing and nostalgic flavor combo.

  • Salted Caramel Ice Cream: The salt brings out the roasted nut flavors, while the caramel amplifies the richness of the chocolate shell.

Serving Tip: Chop up a few clusters and sprinkle them over a bowl of ice cream for a sundae topping with crunch, salt, and sweetness.

Whatever your ice cream of choice, make sure to add a little extra treat from Lammes Candies to sweeten the deal. Who needs a cherry on top when you have Lammes Candies!
