Free Mini Ice Cream Sundae at Marble Slab & Maggie Moos Sept. 28!

Free Mini Ice Cream Sundae at Marble Slab & Maggie Moos Sept. 28!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for free ice cream at Marble Slab Creamery today, Sept. 28! Some people love great ice cream so much that they take culinary classes from colleges online in an effort to perfect their own recipes.

Marble Slab and its sister company, Maggie Moos Ice Cream and Treatery, are both handing out mini-waffle cone ice cream concoctions from 3 to 6pm today! I’m going to try the Cookie Dough Drizzle!

The catch? Not all ice cream shops are participating. California, for example, has only one shop offering the free ice cream, but thankfully for me, the shop isn’t too far away.

So before you drive, check HERE for participating Marble Slab Creameries and HERE for participating Maggie Moos.

Enjoy the free fun!
