This summer has been historically hot. Heat wave after heat wave coupled with the lack of A/C in our home has left us constantly scrambling for ways to cool off.
Enter Menchie’s.
I’ve driven by various Menchie’s locations recently however, admittedly, never actually visited a store. I’m not entirely sure what’s stopped me from going given the fact that:
a. I’ve always salivated in passing and promised myself I would go there soon; and
b. FROYO
Well, becoming a Menchie’s Ambassador was just the excuse I needed to get me through the doors!
Now let me forewarn you – when you enter into Menchie’s you will magically understand, first hand, the true meaning of the expression “like a kid in a candy store”! I don’t often get beyond myself excited for things to the point where I can’t form a cohesive sentence, but I did my first time in a Menchie’s… And the second time… well…
all of the times!
There is good reason for this though! There is a WALL of FroYo…
A WALL, of FROYO, YO!
Each flavour is perfectly paired side-by-side, allowing you to select either of the complimentary flavours, or twist them together. And this is no ordinary chocolate-vanilla twist, we’re talking Oreo-Nutella, Tart-Blueberry Cheesecake, Mango-Peach…
*drool*
And then there’s the wall of toppings.
And I’m talking your run of the mill sizzler dessert buffet toppings either. Everything you could ever imagine that you might possibly want to put on your FroYo – is there.
White Chocolate Chips? CHECK!
Toasted Coconut? CHECK!
Skor pieces? CHECK!
Fresh Fruit? CHECK!
NANAIMO BARS? DOUBLE CHECK!!
This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the toppings that are there! It’s no surprise that Menchie’s is the largest growing Frozen Yogurt franchise in Canada!
Then there’s the sauces! Ok, I didn’t even realize there were sauces until my second trip (and yes, you’ll without question need to visit more than once to really experience everything fully!). Funny enough, during my first trip I wished for strawberry sauce. Well apparently in my FroYo induced stupor I neglected to realize that there is a variety of amazing sauces to take your creation to the next level!
Then lastly, my next visit revealed the waffle bowls. Yes, you can select from a premade waffle bowl, some dipped in chocolate and ridiculous morsels of deliciousness like white chocolate dipped pretzels, candies, or coconut, or you can have them make you a fresh bowl as a base for your treat.
I could continue on about how amazing it is, but really, you’re probably best served by hitting up one of the 116 Menchie’s locations across Canada yourself.

I like lots of ‘stuff’ so I think something like almonds, coconut, skor bits, candied pralines, and of course a cherry on top!
I put Nanaimo bar pieces on mine. Lurve it!
It would be too hard to choose hmm I always love dark chocolate, caramel, coconut and nuts that would be where I start 🙂
