Peanut butter soft serve is customer favorite

COSHOCTON – With its rich peanut butter flavor and creamy texture, the peanut butter soft serve at The Freeze has become a local favorite.

It's definitely keeps customers coming back for more, said Nate Wyler, manager of the dariette at 1431 Chestnut St.

"We use the best ingredients available, and we have a secret recipe. That's what makes it the best around," Wyler said.

The top secret recipe for the creamy treat was developed by Wyler, who learned the ice cream business from his parents Debbie and Tracy Wyler, owners of the Dari Hut in West Lafayette.

Wyler, who has been managing The Freeze since it opened in 2013, said customers can order the peanut butter soft serve by itself, or twisted with chocolate soft serve for a delicious flavor combination. "You couldn't make this any better. It tastes just like if you were to freeze a peanut butter cup," he said.

In addition to the popular peanut butter soft serve available at The Freeze, Wyler also makes homemade soft-serve sherbet in a variety of flavors that he rotates. Strawberry, orange, peach, blue moon, and red raspberry are some of the sherbet flavors available in the rotation, alone or swirled with vanilla soft serve.

"Our sherbet is a big seller," Wyler said. Kids and the young at heart can also enjoy eating their favorite cold treat at The Freeze with color-changing spoons and straws, said Wyler. "They change color as soon as they hit the ice cream. They are fun for all ages."

"I like making customers happy," said employee Devin McPherson. "I like that are small sizes (of cones) are so large, and how surprised customers are when they see them."

"I'm really particular about how our stuff is made. We put a lot of love into our products," said Wyler.

The Freeze, located at 1431 Chestnut St., is open early March through the first week of December. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Hours during the summer months are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
