Hood debuts Freedom Trail ice cream

HP Hood LLC debuted a new ice cream flavor today that will benefit the Freedom Trail Foundation.

The new flavor is Freedom Trail Mix, a blend of chocolate-covered peanuts, sunflower seeds, and pretzels in honey nut ice cream swirled with caramel, said Hood, a dairy company that recently relocated to Lynnfield.

Hood said that 56-ounce containers of the new flavor will be available at supermarkets this summer for a suggested retail price of between $4.99 and $5.99.

For each container sold, Hood said it plans to donate five cents to the Freedom Trail Foundation, which maintains the 2.5-mile walking trail that celebrates historic local sites.
