Hoffman’s Chocolates is pleased to announce the launch of its new “Stay Cool & Celebrate Summer” promotion featuring its scrumptious NEW limited edition ice cream sundaes and milkshakes. The promotion, which will run now through Sunday, July 31st, will benefit United Way of Broward County’s ReadingPals Program and United Way of Palm Beach County’s partner — the Literacy Coalition.

Highlighting the promotion are Hoffman’s Chocolates new ice cream sundae and milkshake flavors, all created with Hoffman’s gourmet chocolates, as listed below:

A nutty twist on a traditional banana split, the Choco Nana Peanut Butter Pie is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth — one scoop each of Banana Cream Pie and Captain Chocolate ice creams covered in Caramel Sauce, Hoffman’s Hot Fudge, Hoffman’s Peanut Butter Delight and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillow confections, topped with whipped cream and crushed peanuts.

Dig in for a chocolate surprise with Captain Hoffman’s Buried Treasure – one scoop each of Vanilla Bean and Captain’s Chocolate ice creams, placed on top of two Hoffman’s Milk Chocolate Meltaways, smothered in Hoffman’s Hot Fudge; and topped with whipped cream and chopped pecan pralines.

Milkshakes:

Float away to the tropics as you sip the luscious Coconut Getaway – Toasted Coconut and Captain’s Chocolate ice creams blended with milk and Hoffman’s Dark Chocolate Coconut Haystacks, and topped with whipped cream and a crushed Hoffman’s Dark Chocolate Coconut Haystack.

Soak up the citrus with the Sun Kissed Sicle – Dreamsicle ice cream blended with milk, a Hoffman’s Tangerine Creme and Hoffman’s Dark Chocolate Bark and topped with whipped cream and shaved Dark Chocolate Bark.

Shake it up with the sensational Banana Hoffsters — Banana Cream Pie and Dolce de Leche Cheesecake ice creams blended with milk, Hoffman’s Dark Swiss Chocolate Rum Truffle, Caramel Sauce, Apple Pie Mix and Pecan Pralines, topped with whipped cream, Caramel Drizzle and Apple Pie Mix.

These exciting new treats, which were all created using Hoffman’s gourmet chocolates and confections, were chosen through a friendly internal competition among Hoffman’s Chocolates employees. On May 18th, managers and employees from Hoffman’s Chocolates’ nine Broward and Palm Beach County locations presented original ice cream sundae and milkshake creations to a panel of celebrity judges which included Paul Castronova, South Florida’s most famous radio personality hosting the Paul and Young Ron Show every morning on Big 105.9 and President of Castronovo Vineyards; Jarett Levan, CEO of BBX Capital, parent company of Hoffman’s Chocolates; Kathleen Cannon, President/CEO of United Way of Broward County; Laurie George, CEO of United Way of Palm Beach County; and Allen Susser, Renowned Chef and Owner of Chef Allen’s Consulting. After tasting all of the mouthwatering treats, the panel chose the sundaes and milkshakes that will be featured in the summer promotion.

“We are so excited to introduce Hoffman’s Chocolates’ ‘Stay Cool & Celebrate Summer’ promotion and share it with our community,” commented Lois Marino, Director of Marketing at Hoffman’s Chocolates. “Our team worked hard and had a great time creating amazing ice cream sundaes and milkshakes that I’m sure everyone will love. We were also so privileged to have had a wonderful team of judges help us make this promotion possible.”

As part of its ongoing efforts to celebrate and make life sweeter for children and families in the community, Hoffman’s Chocolates will be donating  ten percent of all ice cream sundae and milkshake sales during the promotion to United Way of Broward County’s ReadingPals Program and United Way of Palm Beach County’s, partner, Literacy Coalition. In addition, all guests are invited to visit any Hoffman’s Chocolates location to share how they “Stay Cool & Celebrate” by taking photos of themselves enjoying any Hoffman’s Chocolates treat and sharing via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #CelebrateWithHoffmans. One photo will be selected randomly, and the winner will receive FREE chocolate for a year!

“We are so thrilled to partner with United Way of Broward County and United Way of Palm Beach County to help support literacy programs that are so important to our community,” added Marino.
