Other items include peanut butter malted milk balls, bubblegum, root beer floats, vanilla-chocolate turtles, and frozen yogurt in the following flavors: blackberry lemon, banana caramel, strawberry, and chocolate raspberry.

Of course, the biggest news is the newest addition to the menu: Griffs will be turning their favorite pies into gelato, freezing them on a stick, and dipping them in a crust. That sounds more then amazing.
