Amy’s Ice Cream is sharing the Valentine’s love with today’s AMAZING Giveaway of one dozen Chocolate Covered Strawberries to THREE Lucky Ginny’s Austin Winners!
No one tackles Valentine’s Day quite like Amy’s Ice Cream. Each February, Amy’s Ice Cream shuts down ice cream production and transforms into full Operation Chocolate Covered Strawberry mode. Flanked 200 people deep, Amy’s hardworking team will create over 100,000 treats by the time Cupid’s arrow strikes. If that isn’t impressive enough, every single delicious berry is hand dipped in rich European chocolate. Once the fresh berries are bathed in Belgium chocolate, they are decorated with a lovely white chocolate lattice before being packaged in pretty pink cartons. A dozen or two of these perfect Valentine’s treats will make any lucky lady (or gent) swoon in no time.
Be sure to call the Chocolate Strawberry Hotline at 512.553.5796 or visit Amy’s Ice Cream website to reserve your very own batch of these famous berries. Prices are $18/dozen, $12 for 6, or $3 for singles!

What do you have planned for Valentine’s Day?
What’s your favorite Amy’s Ice Cream flavor?
What’s your favorite pizza pie in Austin (b/c, you know, that’s amore)?
I am taking my valentine to Foreign and Domestic on V-Day this year. Favorite pizza is Home Slice, too easy.
We’ll probably stay in & watch movies for V-day. Avoiding the crowds & overpriced dinners is what we prefer. And Double Dave’s is my favorite pizza in Austin! mmmmmmm.
No boyfriend so this year a bunch of my coworkers are going to Pluckers for .50cent wings and $1.00 beers for V-DAY!
Plus, being gluten free my favorite pizza pie is Mellow Mushroom on The Drag! CHEERS!
Celebrating Valentine’s early. My husband and I are going out to Zax for dinner and have two Kelly Clarkson concerts this week!
Taking my girlfriend to a picnic dinner after not seeing her for 2 months showering her with gifts (chocolates, teddy bear, flowers and everything) and then a movie after sunset.
I like the Classic just vanilla and dark chocolate with M&M’s and sometimes gummi bears
Frank & Angie’s is one of my favorites (there’s too many good ones)
Hands down, no questions about it, my favorite Amy’s Ice Cream flavor is Sweet Cream. Crush’n some oatmeal cookies and I am at your service! (I’ll go ahead and answer the pizza question, too: my favorite is Austin’s Pizza, the basil pesto sauce is the bomb.)
I plan to make my hubby’s favorite meal on V-day along with a home made heart shaped cake for my betterhalf. To top it off, we will watch a romantic movie at home and enjoy the Amy’s Chocolate covered Strawberries. Yumm Cant’t wait!
My favorite flavor is the dark chocolate!
Mexican Vanilla with Hot Fudge and Stawberries is my go-to at Amy’s! Unless there is some fancy & delish special flavor, which there usually is!
I think I’ve ordered Belgian Chocolate with Kit-Kat every time I’ve been to Amy’s for about 20 years now.
I Love Brittany’s birthday parade. If its at the store I always order it topped with their delicious hot fudge sauce.
Valentines day… Delivering flowers and treats to my daughter at school.
Amy’s Mexican Vanilla… Great now I’m craving it!
Austin Pizza Garden @ the Y
Sweet cream flavor by far! Spending Vday with my fabulous boyfriend at home…im trying to persuade him to make me dinnerin nothing but an apron
I was surprised to like the Shiner flavor and it has become one of my favorites! And even with all the fancy pizza joints in town, Gatti’s has always been my favorite.
My favorite ice cream is Amy’s Chocoberry! I wait all year for it to be available and then pig out. I really wish it was here more of the time but it’s probably for the best.
My hubz won’t tell me where we are going for Valentine’s Day, but we have tickets to see Chris Isaak at ACL Live on February 13. Fave Amy’s ice cream is Mexican Vanilla. And best pizza in town is a new neighborhood fave, Prima Pizza Pasta.
My favorite Amy’s ice cream on its own is the Shiner flavor. Otherwise I almost always order my absolute favorite, Vanilla with Oreo crush-in and Strawberry topping. <3 <3 <3
I love all of Mangia’s Pizza, but my favorite pizza pie is the deep dish cheese pizza from Mangia Pizza!
My favorite Amy’s ice cream flavor is the Sweet Cream with a dash of cinnamon.
For Valentine’s I’m planning to surprise my Fiance with a movie, home cooked meal under the stars, a long relaxing massage, and candle lit bubble bath for two. =]
Though it sounds a little weird, I’ll probably be taking my boyfriend to the gun range for Valentine’s. It’s a big hobby of his, so I try to support it when I can. We will also go see a movie. I’ve promised him a dinner of fried chicken, his favorite, as well as a bowl of Amy’s later in the week. Of course, it will have to be Mexican vanilla with warm praline – our favorite!
My favorite pizza is from Domino’s, and my favorite topping for pizza is pepperoni and pineapple.
For Valentine’s I’m going to stay home with my man, have dinner for two while watching a movie in bed and for dessert, chocolate fondue. Yum.
I’m not sure what we are doing on Valentine’s day, but my favorite Amy’s ice cream is dark chocolate with gummy bears!!
We’ll be heading to Hecho en Mexico for dinner, followed by some Amy’s coffee with Heath bar mixed in and a horror movie while curled up on the couch. Traditions are awesome. And Rounder’s marinated tomato with suasage, ‘shrooms, garlic and jalapeno is way better than anything from Home Slice.
Dinner at home with with my Valentine!
Belgian Chocolate
Little Deli pizza!!
I will be at my Dallas home all by myself packing stuff for finally and completely move to Austin. We will have a pre-Valentine dinner at home on Sunday.

I’m not sure what my Valentine’s Day plans are yet, but my favorite Amy’s icecream flavor is Mexican Vanilla and I love pizza from Homeslice!
My favorite pizza pie is from Home Slice! It’s sooooo good. Just plain cheese.
Mmm, I actually have two favorite pizza places in Austin and can’t pick: Little Deli and Homeslice. I could eat an entire pie at either!
Mexican vanilla, hands down!
I’m spending Valentine’s Day with my fiance
My favorite Amy’s flavor is the special berries flavor they usually make just around Valentine’s Day, I don’t know what it is…but it’s delicious!!! Also, I love the veggie pizza at Whole Foods.
The BF and I have a Facetime Date on Valentine’s as we are long distance, I love Mexican Vanilla with fresh strawberries the MOST, and Homeslice is definitely near and dear to my heart.
My all-time favorite – hands down! – flavor is Thin Mint ice cream. I always go looking for it when cookie season rolls around. Second fav is vanilla cookie. But I also have a go-to-favorite: Mexican Vanilla with strawberries. Mmmmmmm
Sweet Cream ice cream with both cookie dough and Reeses Cups mixed in! No brainer!
Margherita pizza at Home Slice + Mexican Vanilla at Amy’s = Perfect meal.
Hands down the best icecream is pumpkin
order a pizza and staying in. mexican vanilla. home slice or austin pizza
My husband and I have a long romantic night of Xbox, champagne and he always bring’s me Amy’s! Might not be much to some, but it’s perfect!
For Valentine’s, I’ll be drinking wine with a few other single friends!
My husband’s and I favorite flavor of Amy’s ice cream is maple bacon! We LOVE sweet and salty things at the same time. We could cuddle to a pint of this and a comedy. That would be a perfect Valentine’s date since we dont get time to ourselves too often. Besides Homeslice, we could always do with some Romeo’s Yum Yum!
1. Bob Schneider at ACL Live Moody Theater
2. Ohh that’s tough I may have to go with Belgium Chocolate
3. Another tough one, but Homeslice takes the cake, or should I say pie?
Favorite ice cream at Amy’s- Mexican Vanilla (add some strawberries and Junior Mints and I couldn’t be happier!)
Finishing my countdown to Valentine’s Day muse blog, featuring Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, and Kenny Lattimore (all the old-school crooners) — no mate/partner/spouse, but waiting for love! My fave at Amy’s is Mexican Vanilla with strawberries; and, everything at East Side Pies is delicious.
Fav Austin pizza- Home Slice sausage and Garlic! SOOOO good!
Um probably just staying home again. We both work late & are taxis for our 3 teenage children. Maybe in a couple more years. Life will slow down & we can actually hv dinner alone & a fancy place then go grab a banana split @ AMY’S ICE CREAM!
I love Amy’s Belgium chocolate flavor with strawberries crushed in! #yummy
My favorite Amy’s flavor is Cop Stop but a close second is Pecan Pie…mmmm mmmm good!
I am a simple person and I love the wonderful taste of Mexican Vanilla with strawberrys…
My favorite pizza pie is Bola Pizza found at the downtown farmer’s market! Delicious pizza straight from a wood-burning oven! Can’t beat it.
Not sure what we will be doing on V-day maybe a date? That’s up to the hubby. Maybe something special for the kids and a redbox after the kids go to sleep.
Fav Amy’s is Butter pecan, or a dark choc shake.
Fav Pizza is Home Slice
Plans: I’m making a very tender veal over cauliflower/Camembert purée.
I love their Mexican vanilla.
Homeslice, no contest.

Well, we haven´t planned much yet, but need to think about something special – on 2/14 2012 it will be 10 years we´re together…Favorite ice cream – dark chocolate – so far – I need to taste some more:-))).And for pizza -I am not sure, it´s been only three months we´ve been to Texas, so I love Niko Nikos and Freebirds – but these aren´t pizza destinations. I make and bake my pizza at home!
