There is nothing better on a hot summer day than a cold treat. We are lucky to have so many great choices. I'm sure I'm leaving some of your favorites out, but here are my top 10 treats to enjoy on a hot summer day. If I'm in the mood for a root beer float, I'd stop by Rotolos, Happy Bellys or Twisted Root Burger where you can get one made with Barqs root beer.

    HAPPY BELLYS

    Happy Bellys: I love the gelati which is a layered treat of Italian ice and frozen custard, but my Marine son is hooked on the Birthday Cake Shake. He even says this is the dessert he wants with his final meal. You can get the best tasting Italian Ice and Frozen Custard. The Italian Ices are made fresh daily from fruit juices and purees.  Happy Bellys is located on Youree Drive in Shreveport.

    KALONA KONES

    My favorite treat from this snow cone stand is the black cherry. I'll even splurge and get some of the cream on top. Kalona Kones is the cheapest snow-cone place in town. Over 70 flavors of Tasty Snow -cones. Stuffed (vanilla at bottom of cup) or not. Sugar Free also. Pickle freezes if you are so inclined. Its on Captain Shreve Drive near the Broadmoor Library. It even has a little Hawaiian flare to make you feel like you're on the island!

    COUNTER CULTURE

    The Humphrey is legendary. It's a bit pricey, but worth it every now and then. I've even substituted a Humphrey for lunch! The tangy, plain yogurt is full of flavor, and is 98.5% fat free! Counter Culture has several locations across Shreveport-Bossier.

    The blackberry snow-cone with cream on top is my favorite. You might also try Tiger's Blood, which is strawberry and coconut mixed. They can add cream to any flavor for 35 cents. These are New Orleans-styled snow balls. It's in the Ellis parking lot on Airline Drive in Bossier.
