There’s a worm in my dirt but it’s delicious! 🪱
This isn’t a joke. April Showers Bring Fudge & Flowers is our take on a dirt cup for the Sundae of the Month! We think you’ll be squirming for ice cream with this one.

Available for the whole month of April, this SOTM has Fudge Brownie, Green Tea, oreo dirt crumbles, gummy worms, pastel sprinkles, and of course, whipped cream and a cherry on top. Thank you to Cecilia from our Fair Ave & Ocean St locations for creating this treat! 🌼
