Setting the clocks ahead and the latest melting trend has finally brought the thought of spring back into most people's heads. And with the thoughts of spring come the thoughts of ice cream and plenty of it. So where do you go for ice cream if you live in Central New Hampshire? As a connoisseur of fine ice creams Doc has that answer and will provide it to you in a list from Doc's favorites to Doc's least favorites.
1. Ben and Jerry's of Meredith, New Hampshire
A bit pricey but oh so worth it, this creamy sensation is just so sinfully good you will need to check into the local church or synagogue after leaving. One way to beat the pricey ness is to check out the inside service area of the ice cream stand for coupons. They often have some laying about in the center display area of this room. Another way to beat the pricey ness of this spot is to wait for their special customer appreciation days. For example, on Mother's Day moms get a free ice cream cone. Just bring your child along as proof. Better yet, if you are pregnant on Mother's Day you get two free ice cream cones. Check the outside billboard, located on the main road headed into Wear's Beach, for customer appreciation day. On this day all customers get a free ice cream cone. Free samples are given out every day so don't be afraid to ask for one. This little gem is located at the intersection in the center of Meredith New Hampshire, in the Mill Falls Marketplace.
2. The Common Man Deli of Ashland, New Hampshire
Cheap and sinful are the words of the day for this hidden gem. Located in the Mobil Station just off of exit 24 on I93, this location has a wonderful deli on one side and an amazing ice cream shop on the other. Until 5pm on select days of the week you can get two scoops of homemade ice cream for only $1. Better yet is that there is no limit on how much you can buy. I usually ask for a few to-go containers to bring home for later. To check for the days this special will be in effect this summer, look for Alex's billboard out front of the station.
3. The Squam Lakes Resort of Holderness, New Hampshire

Sweet Kathy's is located next to Rand's Hardware on Main Street in Plymouth. We have been on Main Street since April. Stop by and check out our Yummy ice cream treats and Decadent chocolates. Also a part of our yearly profits will be donated to Breast Cancer Research.
Funny, I've lived here my entire life and have never heard of it. What is it next to? I would love to try it out. As for candy's I usualy travel to Chutters in Littleton or go to The Peppercorn on Main St Plymouth for their awesome sesame candies. Yum!! I will try Sweet Kathies sometime soon though. Love Doc

You forgot to mention Sweet Kathy's in Plymouth, NH in your article. Not only are they one of the few year round ice cream stores in NH but they also have wonderful chocolates and bulk candy you had as a kid. In addition they donate a pecentage of their profits to Breast Cancer Research. They are located on Main Street in Plymouth. You should check them out.
Hey readers, I forgot to put Fat Bobs of Warren/Rumney in here!! I'm so sorry Fat Bob. Doc still loves you!! They have cheap prices and huge servings. Icecreams here start at $1.00 and go up as the size goes up. Once again, sorry Fat Bob!!
Sinful article indeed. I want some NOW!

Thanks....Doc....I know for sure I'll be trying each and every one of these! Gotta have an impartial "taste tester", yes? (tee hee!) Thank you again for such great advice and recommendations right around the corner!
