Favorite summer treat?

So it's official.

I have a Snow-Cone problem.

I might have even passed the "addiction stage" but I'm not sure what's past that.

Please tell me I'm not alone ;)  It started as a reward for Little Miss, and of course Mama had to get one too. I spend .75 on her Peewee sized grape snowcone, and under $2 on my small, strawberry cheesecake with two shots of cream snowcone.

It's summer in a cup!

What has been your favorite summer treat? (and don't worry I'm headed to the gym now so I can get my snowcone later...)

Ok, I meant to ask you about this on FB. I'm from Louisiana (Morgan City), and I thought it was so weird when I moved to Texas and people called them snowcones because we called them snowballs.
A place is opening up by my house and it's advertising itself as New Orleans snowballs. So, I figured it was a state thing.
Then, you're calling it snowcones, and I'm very confused. LOL!
So, it is because you are from northern Louisiana that you call them snowcones?

Do you have a rita's near you? I had their Italian ice for the first time this week & it may add to your addiction!
Personally,I'm year-round kettle corn kinda girl. So is my dog!

Haha Laura! I've never once heard them called Snowballs in this area. I've heard OF it but that's definitely not a local term. We call them Snow Cones or Sno-Cones or sometimes the signs read "Shaved Ice". Funny!!

Tonya, we don't have a Rita's but that sounds fabulous!! And I can't stand Kettle Corn but looooove buttered regular popcorn :)

My favorite summertime treat is Snow Cones or homemade strawberry shortcake.
