Congratulations girls! I love all of your sweet smilies. I’ve sent ya’ll an email. Happy baking!
Oh guys, I’ve got such a fun giveaway to share with you today! Just look at all these fabulous pure vanilla products from Nielsen Massey. We’ve got three different kinds of vanilla extracts, vanilla bean paste, vanilla sugar, whole vanilla beans, exotic extracts to spice up your baking, and a cookbook filled with bakery and pastry recipes, along with new ideas for using vanilla as an essential ingredient in savory dishes. I got to go through the Neilsen Massey catalog of pure vanilla products and hand pick my favorites to share with you guys, and Nielsen Massey would like to offer this assortment to three (3) Kevin & Amanda readers today.
Nielsen Massey offers three different types of vanilla extracts processed from vanilla beans grown in three different regions across the globe. What a huge difference it made in my baking when I figured out which type of vanilla was best to use in which recipe! Here’s a quick description of the three vanillas, and how to best utilize them.
Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla. The most popular, classic, all-purpose vanilla that is perfect for a wide range of foods from baked goods to barbeque sauces.
Mexican Pure Vanilla. A creamy, spicy vanilla that’s perfect for recipes that contain chocolate, cinnamon or other warm spices. A perfect vanilla for the holidays!
Tahitian Pure Vanilla. This is my favorite of all the vanillas. The flavor is so pure and sweet, and I can definitely tell a difference when I use this vanilla. This vanilla is susceptible to heat, so it’s only for recipes that will not be cooked. It’s perfect for ice creams, fruits, sorbets, frostings, and vanilla butter.

Good luck!
Plain, definitely! I love everything vanilla!! I crave vanilla the way most of my friends crave chocolate!!!
My ice cream would be in between two homemade chocolate chip cookies…YUM!
I would load it with toppings.
Load it up with caramel, hot fudge, cookie bits, and sprinkles!
Chocolate syrup and that is all!!
a little chocolate sauce and a LOT of malted milk powder.
I would leave it plain, vanilla ice cream is the best.
I would drizzle a little bit of homemade caramel on top- yummy!
I would make mine into a banana split!!! Those are the best! Chocolate Syrup, strawberries, and pineapple…and of course nuts and a cherry on top!!
Me? I’d take just as much chocolate ice cream. Let them both melt just a bit & then mix them together. Best of both worlds!
I would add raspberries and walnuts and cinnamon. that is my absolute favorite ice cream topping. :)
Plain. I don’t want anything to distract from that lovely vanilla flavor!
Crumbled Reese’s PB cups!
You pour about a third of a glass of root beer. Then, put in about 3 scoops of the vanilla ice cream. Finally, top it off with more root beer! Root beer floats are my favorite!
If I had a bowl of vanilla ice cream in front of me, it would be made with vanilla beans that were scraped and added to the creamy mixture. Why in the world would I want to top it off with something else to take away from that wonderful flavor?!
I would put our homemade cherry sauce on it. We grow cherries in our backyard and harvest them for a friend to turn it into this tasty sauce. It is perfect on plain vanilla ice cream.
Leave it as it is. Vanilla ice cream is my favorite.
hot fudge and slivered almonds!
Hmmmm…..depends on the day…today? Im thinking id pour pepsi on it…weird? I kno
Topped with rice krispies and chocolate! Our family was making sundaes a few years back, and we ran out of peanuts, so we tried rice krispies and topped with chocolate syrup. It was so Awesome, that its the only way we do it now.
I would either have it plain or with a little caramel syrup on it, yum!!!!
Home grown blueberries and a little bit of milk to soften it up. MIX & EAT—GREAT!
Hot fudge sauce or carmel sauce.
So hard to decide but I haven’t had a banana split in FOREVER so I might do that or plain or just chocolate syrup or…man am I ever hungry for some ice cream now…

My favorite way to enjoy vanilla ice cream is with a shot of espresso poured over it. Mmm… :)
oooh, yum! our oldest, who’s 4, has a sensitivity to artificial dyes, so i make a lot of things instead of buying… like syrup for chocolate milk. i like to experiment with flavors that compliment the chocolate flavor, so something like this would be fun to play with. :)
The best thing to go with vanilla ice cream is a drizzle of delicious hot fudge sauce. You just cannot beat that combination.

I LOVE vanilla everything. When I was pregnant with my youngest, they discontinued Vanilla Coke for a while and I was practically in tears. The local Coke delivery guy saw me in the grocery store and found me a few cases!! I love my Vanilla Ice Cream just straight up. Although if I’ve made some of the Pioneer Woman’s Caramel sauce I wouldn’t mind some of that on top!!
I’m a plain vanilla gal. The one thing I always do is swirl the ice cream around in the bowl until it’s nice and creamy–almost milkshake consistency.
When it comes to ice cream, I’m a plain vanilla gal. However, my favorite way to eat vanilla ice cream is to pair it with a scoop (or two) of Barefoot Contesa’s Brownie Pudding. Yum!!!!!
I like hot fudge with marshmallow fluff:) Yum-0!
I would drizzle chocolate syrup on top for sure!
Warm caramel sauce, Spanish peanuts, and whipped cream! Yum!

Oh my goodness, it really depends on my mood. But I love mine with hot fudge, caramel & crushed up pretzels. I’m a sucker for that salty-sweet combo!
I would either chocolate chips or chocolate syrup on it. If those are not available, I’d go with some cinnamon. If I hadn’t had any breakfast, I’ll add cereal in it. And some cut up bananas. Yum!
Plain! :) love love love vanilla ice cream!
I have to be frank, I just love plain vanilla ice cream. Just the way it is, home style version of course. I like it, the way I like my coffee, black. Enjoying the true taste of what is that particular treat. I don’t like to alter any of it.
I love vanilla ice-cream for one thing: to make strawberry milkshakes! with fresh, organic, strawberries. YUM! add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and you got yourself a power shake baby!
Since I am more of a chocolate fan, I would top the vanilla with everything chocolate. Pure chocolate syrup…not Hershey’s.. The real chocolate syrup. Maybe throw in some cookie-dough in there. I love a mix of everything. Certainly not a drab, plain guy here!
If I had a bowl of vanilla ice cream, I would drizzle caramel on top or use the turtle shell toppings made by Smuckers. The only other thing I would do is add some cherries to the top.
I would make oatmeal butterscotch cookies & put a scoop of the vanilla ice cream in between to make a little cookie sandwhich (: yumm, I used vanilla in almost everything! I’m a freshman in college at West Virginia University & I’m actually starting my own cupcake business out of my dorm & vanilla products are just what I need for the base of a lot of my cakes! I read your blog everyday & draw inspiration from your ideas and travels. Have a good day!

I hope it’s homemade vanilla bean ice cream, then I’d leave it be and enjoy the goodness!
This giveaway is to die for! As for me, I would leave it plain and stir it up to a “soft serve” consistency :) My Dad used to always do this for me as a young girl. It is something that my husband even does for me now since my Dad passed away. It’s a neat little something I’ll pass along to our children one day :)
Side note: A friend of mine sent me the link to your blog, and I am just thrilled to see how neat it is! She originally sent it to me to see the pictures of your Bostons (I have 2 myself) but I have found your entire site to be GREAT :) I love it & will be a new follower!
I usually go a little overboard with toppings if I have the option. Fruit, candy pieces, juice jellies, syrup… it is so hard to decide I put all of it on top.
Now for these flavoring… I would looove to use them on homemade microwave popcorn, if I am so luck to be chosen.
Nothing better than the rich flavor of vanilla. Best topping of ice cream to anything and any treat. Plain or fancied up. Mmmmm
I love my plain vanilla ice cream with rootbeer or with warm chocolate fudge topping.
Yum! Peanut butter cups & fudge.
I would stuff the ice cream between two homemade chocolate chip cookies to make a ice cream sandwich! I would also roll the exposed ice cream sides in multicolored sprinkles :)
Toppings for sure!!! Something chocolatey.
Hotfudge and whipped cream!
I would put chocolate syrup and hickory nuts on top!
Now, I would have it w/ waffle cone pieces on top. But thru my pragnancies, my most common craving was vanilla ice cream in a bowl, w/ a little vanilla extract and milk, and would stir until it was a milkshake. I thought I was the only one who did that.
hgrossman at cableone dot net
Everything is better with toppings! :)
Hmmmm…I think I’d go for peanut butter topping, no chocolate. Or just plain!
I love my vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, crushed oreos, and graham crackers. oh and bananas! yum!

vanilla with some toasted pecans and a slight caramel drizzle….. yum! YUM!

I would top it with heath bar hard shell for sure!

Caramel and bananas! YUM!
Vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries, fell in love with this when I was in NYC from the YOGO yogurt truck. Yum, yum.

I would add raspberries, caramel and mini M&Ms
Home made granola with a little chocolate sauce and chopped walnuts. Headed out to get a bowl NOW…..

I’d turn it into a classic sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry!!
I make this hot Peanut butter topping and I’d make some and pour it all over my bowl of Ice cream!
I think I would put some chocolate chips on it. :)
I like to spice up vanilla ice cream with toppings. Usually my toppings of choice are what I have on hand… chocolate syrup, crushed peanuts and whipped topping. Yummo!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
How awesome are all of those extracts!
I love anything and everything crunchy or salty on vanilla ice cream!!
I grew up in a family with 7 kids…it was wonderful, but money was very tight. Mom used to buy ‘imitation’ vanilla extract, because that’s what we could afford. I’ll never forget the first thing I tasted with real vanilla – French Vanilla ice cream, with all of those wonderful tiny black dots of flavor. Such a great memory! Here’s hoping I get a chance to try some new vanilla items…
I would either pour a caramel sauce on it, or mix it with m&m’s. Mmmm.
My new favorite “mix-in” is chunky peanut butter! My old favorite is Nestle Quick powder with peanuts. Such an awesome giveaway – thanks!!!
I would put it on top of a warm gooey brownie…yum!
I love ice cream in just about any form it comes in. If given a bowl of vanilla ice cream, I’d add flaked coconut, walnuts, and chocolate syrup. Yum!
If given the option, I would always have vanilla ice cream with Jack’s (my husband’s grandpa) homemade chocolate sauce…AMAZING!
It would depend on my mood. I probably would go plain vanilla most of the time but there are other times I would add chocolate and nuts.
Although I am not an ice cream fan, I do like the banana split flavor. Whenever I eat it (which is rarely), I like to top it with chocolate fudge sauce and pecans… yummy.
plain vanilla here too. but if a milkshake was an option I would def go with that!
Dear Amanda –
Vanilla is My All Time Favorite Flavor and Favorite Scent – Hands Down. I Wouldn’t Add a Thing – The More Vanill-a-e, the Better. Even a Dab Behind Each Ear Brightens the Dullest of Winter Days. Smiles…
Thank You For the Opportunity to Win a Batch of Vanilla Heaven!
Hugs from Laurie AKA Idgie
I’d put it on top of some homemade peach cobbler :)
Oh, what a wonderful giveaway! Thank you so much for the chance to win! Hmmm…vanilla ice cream, huh? I would add chocolate sauce, caramel sauce & pretzels…oh man…yum…;)
I’d have to add a dollop of homemade strawberry freezer jam and a drizzle of chocolate syrup!
A little hot fudge, a few strawberries. Yum
I slice a banana over the top and add just a tiny bit of chocolate sauce & caramel sauce. Yum!
I would definitely add hot fudge and whipped cream!
I would add hot fudge to it. Nothing better than vanilla ice cream and hot fudge! :)
Vanilla ice cream? Not when I get done with it. First, I’m adding super chunky peanut butter and chocolate syrup. Then, salted crispy chips. Nothing goes better with ice cream than potato chips, well maybe french fries but that’s debatable.
i’d mix in some crumbled mint brownie. it’s like a smashed up ice cream sandwich. :)
Would love to have some vanilla for the snow cream we will make this winter.
Pound cake with fresh strawberries and whip cream Yum!
I would stir in cinnnamon and mini chocolate chips!
Usually plain, sometimes with a chocolate sauce.
Oh, I gotta pour some chocolate on there!!
Toppings! Nuts and hot caramel. Yum!!
Chocolate syrup on top!
I’d pour some peanut butter and chopped Reese’s cups on top!
I love vanilla ice cream with fresh raspberries and chocolate sauce!
Aged balsamic vinegar :)
Depends on the season. In summer, I’d add some macerated strawberries and a sprinkle of black pepper. In winter, maybe some stewed dried fruits, and a pour of brandy or amaretto.
Can’t have vanilla without cookie dough.
I’d eat it plain… esp if it’s like French Vanilla… and if I had toppings, maybe throw in a few chocolate chips.
Might sound crazy, but crushed up saltine crackers…love the sweet and salty. :)
I would put that vanilla ice cream on top of a brownie, then cover it all with hot fudge! MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It depends on the brand. If it’s not that tasty by itself, then I would add toppings. If it’s a good brand, then I’d eat it plain.
Yummy!
Due to dairy allergies in our house, I would make some coconut vanilla ice cream with our ice cream maker.
Hot fudge, M&Ms, hot caramel, marshmallow cream, bananas, some cherries, and I’d probably add a brownie in there, essentially I’d have “the works”. Life is Good :)
I would add fruit and granola.
I’m a salty sweet girl, so I do love adding peanut butter!
Plain!! I love to crunch on the bits of vanilla seeds and savor the flavor :o)
oooh….what a hard decision. I’m torn between chocolate sauce and walnuts or adding some almond extract and crushing some waffle cone on top. mmmmm….now I want ice cream. :)
For me it depends on what kind of vanilla ice cream. For regular vanilla, I would add some chocolate and sprinkles. If it’s vanilla bean, I would leave it plain. Vanilla bean is so delicious!
I’d eat it like Kevin! Add chocolate chips and a scoop of peanut butter!
I’d definitely grab some brownies or maybe some cookie dough to pop on top of that ice cream! You can’t forget hot fudge or caramel sauce either. Yay!

I’d pile it high with chocolate syrup =) Not a huge icecream fan
If it’s really good vanilla ice cream it doesn’t need any toppings!
I would definitely add some chocolate and salted caramel sauce!
I would top it with crushed double stuf oreos!!! :) YUM!
PB sauce and crushed oreos pieces. mmmm.
I like my vanilla ice cream with maple syrup and toasted walnuts, but I often end up eating it plain.
I like vanilla ice cream with the chocolate shell hardener on top. Yum!
Mmm, I love a good vanilla ice cream with hot salted caramel sauce, AND a little hot fudge. I’d eat it for awhile just as-is while the sauces were still warm, then I’d stir it up in the bowl until it was the consistency of a Wendy’s frosty and eat the rest of it. I might be tempted to lick the bowl too. :)
I’d load it up, if I could. Lol, I have gestational diabetes at the moment, so no ice cream for me. Maybe in about a month or two after this wee one is in my arms, not my belly! :-) Thanks, Amanda!
I would make some kind of float. I like ice cream with all kinds of stuff on top.
I would cover it in chopped up candy bar sprinkles and then shove it b/t 2 fabulous, warm, chocolate chip cookies and make it into one of my fav desserts… dun, dun, dun….”the cookie sandwich”, I mean can you really go wrong with that? I think not.
I love plain ole vanilla ice cream!! =)
I would put strawberries and strawberry sauce on it. Yum!
I would top it with Hot Fudge & Yummy Caramel!!! What a Fantastic Giveaway!!!

I would definitely load it up with toppings, I’m with Kevin, chocolate and peanut butter!!!
Oh plain all the way! I wouldn’t dare cover up the goodness of vanilla ice cream!! On Man! I love ice cream!!!! Thanks!
There’s something about chocolate chips on vanilla ice cream that makes my taste buds sing. I love how the chips get cold and crunchy against the smooth vanilla ice cream!

I like Kevins chocolate and peanut butter idea!
I’m usually a plain-jane kind of girl but being that it’s almost lunchtime, and I am starving, I’d say that I would have to pile the vanilla icecream on top of a warm brownie; add some whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Yum-o!
I’d add a warm brownie, homemade fudge and caramel sauce.
If we’re talking vanilla ice cream then I ALWAYS load up the chocolate syrup or caramel syrup. If we’re talking vanilla froyo then I reach for the rainbow sprinkles.
Without fail.
Hot fudge and homemade caramel!
I’d add some balsamic vinegar, yum!
Oooooh, the possibilities are endless, really. But, I’m a sucker for the plain ole’ vanilla with hot fudge/chocolate syrup sundae. Nice heaping helping of whipped cream and some toasted peanuts…..mmmmmmmmmmmm…..good! ;) K, think I’ve decided on what I’m having for lunch………..
Milkshake! I love it almost melted.
I’d top the bowl with chocolate syrup and salted nuts. YUM! Oh, and maybe a little caramel sauce too. :)
I just like chocolate syrup on mine! Sometimes I’ll add some chocolate chips too! Yumma
Mmmmm…. caramel sauce or a fruit puree!
I would add some crushed cookies and/or mini or mint chocolate chips! :) A milkshake like this would be even better. :) Thanks for the chance.

I am definitely a load-it-up kind of girl – especially with peanut butter topping and cookie dough!!

Add some magic shell! That way, you get some chocolate, but its gone before you get to the ice cream and still get that pure vanilla!
I would for sure eat it plain!
I would add chocolate syrup, ground flax seed and wheat germ! Sounds like I’m trying to make it all healthy and stuff, but really it just tastes great that way! :-)
I load my ice cream up! Chocolate, caramel, sprinkles, cookie dough, chocolate pieces and all sorts of wonderful-ness! :)

Oh and now you have me craving a vanilla milk shake, darn you.
I would add the chocolate topping that hardens as it gets cold, then top with chocolate syrup & caramel. Yummy!
I LOVE sprinkles. So if I didn’t make a milkshake out of if (with sprinkles of course), then I would leave it plain and eat it with LOADS of sprinkles…maybe a dash of cinnamon on top:)

Hi Amanda –

Elaine Allen
Rainbow sprinkles for sure :)
In college we would put captain crunch on top of plain soft serve vanilla ice cream — it was like eating a slightly frozen bowl of cereal and it was delicious! So I could do that… or I might just go with chocolate syrup and strawberries. Both would be fine by me!
I’d turn it into a milkshake with whip cream and sprinkles on top!
I leave my vanilla ice cream unadulterated because I love the taste of pure vanilla.
Vanilla ice cream is perfect with hot fudge sauce and slivered almonds.
I love oreo cookies on my vanilla ice cream!
Strawberries on top.
Plain Jane over here!!
I love vanilla ice cream but it has to be rich, creamy vanilla ice cream. I love chocolate, whipped cream on top with nuts and sprinkles! Yum….I need to have some now! Sometimes when I have fresh strawberries, I like to add those, too!
Thank you so much for all of your beautiful pictures, ideas and recipes. I enjoy getting your emails every day and checking you out on facebook!!!!
Hot chocolate sauce on the vanilla ice-cream please!
I would have to add something to it, at least Chocolate or Coffee. As much as you love Vanilla, I’m a Chocolate girl. No plain vanilla for me :-)
I would want to add some sliced fresh strawberries and a little drizzle of dark chocolate sauce. Yum!Yum!
These products are wonderful! Vanilla and their other extracts. I use their Tahitian Vanilla in whipped cream, and buttercream icings for a delicate taste. Their Vanilla Bean Paste makes a extra yummy vanilla bean flavor when I want Vanilla Cupcakes with a vanilla bean icing. No matter if you win or lose, take a look at their products!!!!!
LOTS of toppings! Hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, and a cherry!
i just ran across your blog last weekend, and i am hooked!!! :)
Drizzled with Fresco Chocolate :D
OH WOW! I can’t even begin to imagine how may different flavors of ice cream you could have. I LOVE ice cream, so I would love to try to figure out how many different flavors I could make!!!!! YUM!!!!
I would totally leave it plain…especially if it’s vanilla bean ice cream. The little specks of beans are as good as sprinkles in my book!
Cover the vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce… and lots of it!
My husband always laughs at me but I like to let my ice cream melt slightly until it’s creamy and smooth. If I don’t want to wait I microwave it for about 10 seconds, just enough to accomplish the same thing.
Melted peanut butter and chocolate syrup!! yum!
Top it with crushed oreo cookies! Mix, and it becomes a blizzard!
I’d leave it plain. Good vanilla ice cream is delicious on its own.
Just give me a spoon…
oh I would definitley have to put a side of fresh homemade blackberry pie/cobbler with vanilla ice cream…make my mouth water just thinking about it!
Toasted Pecans!
vanilla ice cream almost always gets topped with strawberry sauce if I’m eating it. the more the better!
Hmm. I think homemade vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and peaches would be DIVINE! Although Kevin’s idea sounds pretty fantastic as well. Great giveaway! Love your site! :)

I love vanilla ice cream with Nutella! THE. BEST. EVER! Yum!
Loads of toppings: chocolate, caramel, graham crackers. Yum!

Oh yummmmmmmmmm … my mouth is watering just thinking of winning :) Say it’s me, please!
Since I LOVE ice cream, I would take mine all sorts of different ways… I guess my absolute favorite would be to agree with Kevin, only add Almond Joy bites to the mix and a black cherry… Mmmm… Just thinking about it makes me want some right now!…
I do like plain vanilla if it’s really good quality ice cream. For a topping I would put on crushed Butterfinger.
I would top it with warm apple crisp (or the other way round) and only dig in when it starts to get soft and melty!
I would either pour yummy homemade hot fudge over it (has to homemade or not worth it) or make it a rootbeer float!

HOT FUDGE & homemade whipped cream. Maybe a few ripe strawberries or even raspberries. Yummy! I fell in love with some Mexican Vanilla I purchased at in Cancun. It was soooo good. I would love to try some other types of vanilla products. thanks for the contest!
Depends on the day, some days, plain would be yummy. Others I’d add rootbeer to it and make a shake, others I’d add oreos for a yummy cookies & cream…
I am with Kevin too! I like to have chocolate on my ice cream and peanut butter AND chocolate in my shake!
I ♥ me some maraschino (spelling?) cherries & pour the juice over the ice cream and mix it together to make a cherry shake type concoction. SO GOOD!
I’m totally adding a bit of hot fudge and then swirling it until it’s milky and I can drink it :D
I like plain vanilla … rich and creamy!!
I like to add a cherry and a sprinkle of cocoa
I’m all about sprinkles (or, as we call them in New England, jimmies.) Load me up on those on the bottom and top of my ice cream please, just like my favorite local place does! :)
I’d put marshmallow creme on it… :)
I would add chocolate!
I would do one of two things… either crumble saltine crackers on it or top it with uncooked oatmeal and a little bit of carmel sauce.
if it were the best extraction from vanilla, who needs toppings? just enjoy the flavor from the vanilla!
I love vanilla ice cream…I would simply top it with some rum caramel sauce
It depends on my mood…sometimes you can’t beat plain ol vanilla ice cream. Other days I throw some chocolate chips and chocolate syrup on there and make it a party.
OK, I would start with the vanilla ice cream “base” and then add some caramel, chocolate, nuts, some whipped topping and a few mini chocolate chips! (Peanut butter is another good thing to add or some powered hot chocolate mix)! Yum!
I’d probably just put good ole hot fudge on top!
I would either cover it in chocolate syrup and peanuts or blend it up with some orange juice.

What a beautiful line-up! I’d leave it plain, melt a little and give it a stir…yum
I sprinkle Ovaltine on it. It’s yummy AND a blast from the past :)
Oh wow, I love to make my own coffee creamer and I use a cheaper pure vanilla. I cannot imagine how much a quality vanilla would improve my creamer!!
hmmm… I’d either put some crumbled PB cups on top, or, if I’m feeling nostalgic and remembering nights at the grandparents cottage, I’d put some magic shell on top. :)
I would top it with some Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce for sure!
Brownies and hot fudge. Mmmm….chocolate and vanilla. :)
Yum. I could really go for a bowl of ice cream right now! Depending on my mood, I would eat the vanilla plan or top it with warm caramel sauce, sliced banana and some whipped topping/cool whip.

A little chocolate drizzle on my vanilla icecream is perfect!
I like mine with peanuts. The sweet with a bit of salty.
Chocolateeeee, always chocolate! :)
I’m a vanilla girl – i have vanilla candles and fragrances and shower gels – i even make my own vanilla for baking but vanilla ice cream just calls for something …. either apple pie below it or chocolate fudge and nuts above.
sliced almonds and dark chocolate on top of vanilla ice cream. Or dark chocolate chips and raspberries.
I would put some fruit cocktail on it and some extra cherries!
Plain vanilla ice cream in front of me would require the addition of some fruit and then Smuckers Chocolate Magic Shell :D

Plain or with chocolate syrup.
I’d add PB!
Oh…gotta put some chocolate on it!!!
Hershey’s syrup and sprinkles for sure!
Plain vanilla…uh, no. That’s like a sin or something. Has to have some chocolate, or fruit, or sprinkles or something. Vanilla is always better when it has a friend!
I pour a little left over coffee and some chocolate syrup on the vanilla ice crea.
I would normally leave it plain-jane but on occassion add some yummy caramel sauce!
I always add chocolate sauce and chocolate chips!
Some crushed Oreos would make a nice addition!
Mmmm…vanilla. I’d skip the ice cream, and just make a big batch of cookie dough with extra vanilla, then eat THAT!

If it’s a really good vanilla ice cream, I’ll often leave it plain. Other times though, I like to load it up with fruit and a bit of chocolate sauce.
Oh ice cream is a HUGE weakness of mine! I love putting strawberries, bananas, and chocolate syrup on my ice cream, but the other thing I love to do with a bowl of vanilla ice cream is put it in the blender with oreos and make a milkshake! My mouth is watering just thinking about it =)
Really good vanilla bean ice cream should be left alone or topped with dark chocolate topping or shavings… Yum!
I just made some chocolate chip cookies for my office holiday party. I think a warm cookie with some vanilla icecream and a little bit of hot fudge sounds like heaven!!
Ok, you probably think I am a suck-up, but my fav is vanilla milkshakes too….HOWEVER, have you tried putting just a couple drops of pure vanilla extract it? Try it…..YUM!!!
Also, try vanilla extract in your french toast batter…again…YUM! :)
Thanks for sharing…again.
Trade the Vanilla in for Chocolate!
I would add fresh strawberries!
caramel sauce, baby!
Give me some hot fudge and fresh whipped cream!
Hot fudge. Indeed, hot fudge.

I load it up with gooey goodness – chocolate and caramel are my favorites. Add a little nuts and everything is perfect!
I would totally leave it plain! A big bowl of just beginning to soften Rocky Road ice cream…yum!
I would have to cover vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup!
I’m a topping girl – usually chocolate chips or m&ms – thanks for the chance to win this yummy giveaway!
I would def. eat it plain because when you start adding all the toppings the flavors of the vanilla get muddled with all that additional sugar.
What a yummy giveaway! Hope I win! lol.
I love to crush cookies on top of vanilla ice cream. My husband prefers to load his with chocolate syrup!
I’m on a huge caramel kick right now…so I think I would do caramel sauce, a hint of sea salt, and chocolate sprinkles :)
Reese’s, caramel, hot fudge, heath bits…yum!! A lot of toppings is usually what I prefer, but sometimes you can’t go wrong with a perfect, plain vanilla.
I’d put it on a cone or top it with some Bailey’s.
I would add strawberries!!!!
I would leave it plain….but wait a few minutes so it can get all soppy and delicious!! Mmmmmm!
I love vanilla ice cream, either plan or sometimes I may add some fresh berries, blackberries are my favorite!
A good vanilla bean ice cream requires no additional toppings. Otherwise, my go to topping is always caramel.
Mix in crushed Oreo Cookies :)
Plain, plain, plain! If I’m feeling frisky, I might put some caramel on top…
I love pecans and salt on vanilla ice cream. So good!

I love it plain, in the microwave about 11 seconds to make it soft and eat away!!
These sound absolutely insane for all the Christmas cookies that will be created in the next few weeks! Coffee vanilla – who knew!
*oops. Coffee extract. pardon me. I’m still just as excited about these, though!
I would add a little milk, enough to make it icy!
I would have to put the vanilla ice cream on top of a yummy brownie and smother it with hot fudge sauce and top with whipped cream! My favorite dessert!

I love to put chocolate syrup on it and then some colorful sprinkles! (the sprinkles in the clown bottle are the best) :)
I’d add toppings- hot fudge and cherries. Or a milkshake. Yum.
Plain…all stirred up so it turns to soft serve!
I would definitely load it up with hot fudge and/or melted peanut butter. Maybe crumble some pb cups on there too. Or whatever candy/cookies I have handy. If it’s vanilla, I definitely have to load it up. :)
The best part of ice cream is the toppings in my opinion! :) I would add chocolate, brownies, peanut butter cups, caramel – the whole 9 yards really!

I would eat it with chocoate and caramel syrups on top.
crushed heath bar for me!
Chocolate and caramel for sure!
Plain is the BEST!! Thanks for sharing this!
Plain old vanilla is simply the best – however, I could come up with a raspberry, vanilla and grand marnier syrup in the summer months if I had some of this gorgeous vanilla – yum yum!
In a perfect world where I could eat whatever I want I’d add hot fudge and chopped salted peanuts!

I am a baker at heart and love to find fund things to bake each holiday season and through out the year. Vanilla is such a big part of this activity. But I have been using vanilla at a faster rate than in the past because I have discovered Vanilla Milk…and I drink a lot of milk for the calcium… I use about a capful per quart. Really livens up skim milk and soy milk. Hope I win!!! Happy Holidays to you Amanda and all your readers!!!!

If it was my mama’s homemade, plain would be just fine. If bought, it would be covered in hot fudge sauce. Either way, DELICIOUS!
I love a true vanilla flavor. I make candied pecans and sometimes candied bacon. I’d crumble a little of each and sprinkle them on. Not enough to change or mask the vanilla essence, but just enough to complement.
Leave it plain! No way would I want to take away from the deliciousness of vanilla with another distracting flavor. Vanilla is one of my FAVORITE things and I’m always searching for the best quality and best tasting vanilla out there!

Plain. I’m just a simple girl, I guess.
I think every day of the year I would do it differently–top with oreos, leave plain, put chocolate on top, mix with cold coffee for a shake, add whoppers? I could go on and on. I love variety. Oreos would probably come around most often…
Mmm, hot fudge and whipped cream! What a fantastic give a way!
I like to mix my ice cream in a bowl until it’s soft and smooth like a milkshake.. with just a little dab of chocolate in it so it’s barely brown… Thank you!!
If the icecream was made with this Nielsen-Massey vanilla….I would have to leave it plain. ( so I could taste the richness of that vanilla flavor)
i think i would leave my plain with no toppings…especially if it is homemade ice cream!
I love good vanilla ice cream with whipping cream poured on top! It freezes and makes a “shell” which is yummy!
On special nights instead of having hot cocoa I would put it my coffee and just let it swirl all on it’s own.

I would top it off with raspberries and mini chocolate chips!

Vanilla ice cream…I’d definitely make it into a Sundae. I’d add whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles.
My bowl of vanilla ice cream would have dark chocolate syrup, yum, and maybe a few slices of banana. Thanks for the chance to win this great gift assortment.
Marshmallow, hot fudge, peanut butter and whipped cream.
Good quality vanilla ice cream is always best to me when eaten plain.
I’d eat it plain, as long as it was a GOOD vanilla. Ok, maybe with a few blueberries on top if they’re in season :)
Topped with chocolate syrup & whipped cream :)
yummy. so many choices. options. they all sound so good. (:
I like to pour on some cocoa crispies cereal! Yum!
Sometimes I really like it plain and sometimes I like a little chocolate and nuts on top. Probably more often that not I go with plain.
I’m with ya on the whole milkshake thing! Yum, add some extra vanilla and some crushed gingersnaps, and a side of peppermint stick!
I love rainbow sprinkles, hot fudge and whipped cream. Make it a big ol’ Sundae!
I would add some hot caramel to it – yum!
Mmmmmmm, LOTS of hot fudge sauce, please. =)
First of all the vanilla ice cream would most definitely be vanilla bean ice cream. It would more than likely be plain unless strawberries were in season. Then I’d have a nice slice of pound cake to go with it!
What a great giveaway! I would add a good honemade caramel sauce and a sprinkling of sea salt. Yummy
Oh I would eat it plain! I love vanilla and plain old Vanilla bean ice cream is the best! mmmm mmmmm mmmmmmm :)
I would love to have this vanilla!
I do like my vanilla ice cream plain, but I’ve discovered Stonewall Kitchen’s Dark Chocolate Caramel with Sea Salt topping–YUM!
My daughter has been making vanilla milk shakes like crazy. This would be great.
Of course, It’s almost time to start christmas cookies!!!!!!
I would definitely add chocolate of some kind….or raspberries. OR both.
My mind is racing trying to decide what I would make first if I won this vanilla package! Definitely homemade ice cream..I think it would taste sooooo good with a top quality vanilla. And frosting for my melting moments cookies..yum yum! The possibilities are endless!
Sometimes I pour Rice Krispies on top of vanilla ice cream. If you stir it all up together it tastes like a cold, creamy Rice Krispie Treat!
Hot fudge and chocolate sprinkles!!!
This time of year, my would be smack dab next to a slice of apple pie. Nothing better.
I would put chocolate syrup, really salty peanuts and whipped cream. Now I know what I am having for breakfast!
I’d have my plain or make it a float with root beer :D
mine* plain
Good old Hershey’s chocolate syrup!
Straight up vanilla! It is smooth and creamy and most toppings harden up, masking the pure joy of of the flavor and texture. Mmmmmmm, vanilla.
I’m with Kevin..chocolate and pb for sure!!
Oh no, never plain! Banana, chocolate syrup, whip cream and a cherry. A must. My husband would prefer it plain. ;)
Yummy, yummy, yummy…the ideas are endless.
Oooh, chocolate syrup and sprinkles … or Kahlua!!
I would put chocolate on it!!
I would have to load it up. I’m a chocolate gal. I would add hot fudge topping (slightly warmed) and probably crushed up Oreos or Reese’s peanut butter cups. If it were my husband, because he is strange, he would dump a packet of dry hot cocoa mix on top and eat it. :)
just a little chocolate would do the trick for me :)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, this is my favorite vanilla and I would so LOVE to try some of the other extracts in this give away. There are endless possibilities! I am thinking of a delicate pound cake would be the first thing I would make.
Thanks for the terrific giveaway!
I would definitely load it! Caramel topping and some chocolate covered peanuts or M&M’s (or both!). YUM!
I’d be wishing I had a slice of blueberry pie to go along with my vanilla ice cream.

I’d love the vanillas – what a great addition they’d be to my Christmas cookies!!
It depends. If it’s homemade then it’s best plain, but I always load store bought with chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
I would add nerds and whip cream to mine
I think I would have to chop up some Reeses Peanut Butter cups as a nice add in.
Yum! Been doin the root-beer “float” thing lately, but spicy stuff sounds good too!
OH MY! I think I would gladly load it up with toppings like cherries or PB cups! That is exactly what I do when I get frozen yogurt in Cheesecake flavor…yummm! :)
I’d put some homemade caramel sauce on it — if I allowed myself to let
it make it into a bowl. I’m bad to eat out of the carton sometimes.
It depends on the brand of ice cream! If it’s Blue Bell, you’ve gotta leave it plain – anything else I load up with as much chocolate in as many forms as I possible can!
I love Vanilla ice cream – the more homemade and natural the better! For those times when plain vanilla won’t do, I like to top mine with chocolate and fresh sliced strawberries from the garden. I especially loved reading this blog today – so many new ways that I didn’t think of to eat the best flavor of ice cream! Go VANILLA!!!!
I would make a shake with chocolate and peanut butter Yummy
I like to add fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries to my vanilla ice cream! YUM!
I would love to win this. Endless possibilities of things to be made
I like plain unadulterated vanilla ice cream. Especially a vanilla bean ice cream. But if there were some left over pecan pie if it was close to a holiday, it’s eat it with that.
not a huge fan of ice cream unless it has hot fudge sauce, whipped cream and maybe some crushed oreos on it!
When I was a kid, i would stir my bowl of Vanilla icecream until it was a little thicker than a milkshake..I still do it…Love vanilla!!!
I would add chocolate syrup and M&Ms!
I’d have to add something to make it chocolatey!
Maybe getting the wife to make some of her awesome homemade vanilla ice cream with that tahitian vanilla…yum!
I love root beer with my vanilla ice cream!
The more toppings, the better! Strawberries, blueberries, peanuts….yummmm!!!
usually I’m a purist, but today I was expecting a snow day and got nary an inch of snow, so I’d comfort myself with some homemade hot fudge on top!
I would eat the vanilla ice cream plain…but lots of it!
I luuuuv vanilla, and would never change the flavor by adding a thing.
Vanilla Ice Cream! Oh, it would have to be topped with fresh sweet Mangoes from our orchards. It would be pure heaven.
I like it different at different times.
When I have a big meal out, I love vanilla ice cream with hot coffee poured over!
Or sometimes at home I like my ice cream with either coffee or chocolate liqueur or even liqueur muscat. Tastes like sultanas! Yum!
Mmmm…ice cream–my favorite! I would drizzle some chocolate sauce and add just a dolop of whipped cream from a can.

Hot Fudge, peanuts and cherry on top!!!!!
Oh Yummy! These extracts look great. Since you have been talking about Tahitian vanilla, I have been wanting to try it. For the ice cream, I love–LOVE–LOVE me some peanut butter milkshake. So, I think I would probably make me a peanut butter milkshake!!
Cherry syrup, crushed pineapple and mini chocolate chips!!
Well, I have not had ice-cream in years! :( I am too obsessed with my “diet” plan, and I would not dare to touch such foods, like ice-cream. I know that you could have a small amount every once in a while, but I am like an alcoholic in a sense that I cannot just eat one bowl, give me the whole ice cream container! So, in ending.. in the days that I did eat ice cream, I loved mint chocolate chip ice cream topped with chocolate syrup! Yum!
My heaven is to offset the vanilla with Bananas Foster-the combo of pecans, bananas, brown sugar and rum….mmmm! And Nielsen Massey’s Vanilla Bean Paste has earned me lots of compliments-the little flecks of the vanilla bean are wonderful in anything.
Hot fudge & a cherry for me! Yum!
Vanilla all the way, but I do tend to put it a cup with some milk and make a sudo-milkshake. But as the winner, I would make a vanilla bean creme brûlée and totally pig out before my neck surgery after Christmas.
depends on my mood…sometimes I am a purist and Love vanilla bean ice cream plain, the next time I want a drizzle of chocolate…..at Christmas….definitely plain, so I can also enjoy the other treats to go with it.
I love all things vanilla, so I would leave it just as is. Fantastic giveaway – thanks for the chance to win .

Raspberries, Rice Krispies, Oreos, and chocolate sauce….A—MAZING!

With vanilla ice cream I like to add pieces of little debbie brownies and smother it in hot fudge… YUM!!
I’d want carmel, hot fudge and pecans!
Hot chocolate & whipped cream for me! Yummy!

OMB,that’s so cool!
No reason to mess up something that’s already perfect – eat it plain!
Just a little dark, rich chocolate for me, thanks!
I’d add some caramel!
I love toppings on my ice cream. Something with berries, or with a caramel flavor would be my choice.
Caramel sauce, sliced banana, pineapple tidbits, and real whipped cream topping, with toasted pecans on top!
I would eat the ice-cream with chocolate! Or melted nutella on top….
mmmh.
love the giveaway!
I would start out just enjoying the simpleness of the vanilla with a couple of bites but then I would definitely have to add some of my mawmaw’s chocolate gravy to it.
I’ve been loving caramel topping with vanilla ice cream lately…now for the willpower not to stop by the kitchen on the way to bed!

I would add chocolate syrup

I am a Vanilla Girl! Always make the choice for creamy pure vanilla taste so I would leave it pure and simply yummy!
I’d totally add toppings, likely brownies and hot fudge. :)
I LOVE vanilla ice cream and I LOVE toppings—but I think you can definitely overload it. I’m content with some cookie dough chunks or some brownie bits and a little hot fudge! Yummy!!
Root beer!!!
Ok.. So I’m not a huge fan of plain vanilla ice cream but it does make a great rootbeer or coke float… OR I would definitely add some hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts and a couple of cherries! :-) Thanks for the great giveaway. Maybe this will be my very 1st win from a blog! Merry Christmas!
I would definitely have that root beer float!! Mouth is watering already!!!!

I would put some cinnamon on it… but since I share with my boston Lucy, I usually leave it plain since the cinnamon makes her sneeze. Hehe.
