This dreamy creation starts with Sea Salt Caramel froyo made with yogurt from Country View Dairy, layered with crunchy Heath Bar pieces, chocolate chip cookie dough bites, ribbons of caramel sauce, and finished with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt.

Huge congratulations to Chef Tailor for dreaming this up and bringing it to life! We’re so proud of your creativity and bold flavor instincts. 👏

And THANK YOU to everyone who voted for us. Your support means everything to us.

We’re also so honored to be in the company of such talented chefs and creators in this town. Congrats to all the winners, and a huge shoutout to our friends at @breadworthy, who took home 1st Place Judge’s Choice Dessert! We are so excited they are opening their storefront on the Northside later this year. 🥳

It’s truly inspiring to be surrounded by this level of passion and craft in Iowa City.

Stay tuned for details on when Salty Toffee D’Oh drops at our grocery partners… you’re going to want a pint (or two). 💛
