Unpopular opinion, but chocolate is not as delicious as caramel or high quality vanilla.

I ❤️ caramel and vanilla but a little bit of caramel goes a long way until it becomes cloying. Vanilla is boring without something else. Chocolate is great on its own but chocolate and caramel or chocolate and vanilla or chocolate and peanut butter just seem to make all of those ingredients better.

I will never choose vanilla ice cream over chocolate w peanut butter but I will always choose a plain vanilla cake over chocolate cake. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And I don't think there's much better than vanilla ice cream on a brownie.

But then I would eat the ice cream with caramel/butterscotch drizzle preferentially and leave most of the brownie.

There’s a local company- Kawartha dairy- that makes the best ice cream. I do t deviate- bottom scoop is chocolate peanut butter and the top scoop is pralines and cream . Heavenly!!

I'm happy with chocolate or vanilla cake. Preferably if both of them have chocolate icing. Do you know that place Rita's? I went there the other day and they literally had a flavor of vanilla ice.
