Drop the Mic Ice Cream: Chikalicious is my favorite dessert bar, and I highly recommend it if you haven't been before.

Trader Joe's sweet potato tortilla chips: A mix of white corn and sweet potato, the dominant flavor in this snack is definitely not sweet potato (although you get a hint of it at the end).
