Confectionery Cabin, Opening November 25th
The Franklin Fountain returns to the RiverRink on the Delaware. With piping hot cups of decadent and delicious Drinking Chocolates and Hot Cocoas, the ever popular House-Made Some’mores and Marshmallows for roasting over the fire pits, and seasonal Ice Creams, our Confectionery Cabin is worth a visit! Come enjoy ice-skating and imbibe in some of your seasonal favorites!
Weather Changing Flavors
As the leaves are turning, our kitchen is churning out harvest ice cream flavors such as Apple Butter!
November’s Neighborhood Nuts
Picked in our very own backyards! Black Walnuts and Old Hickories will be dropping into The Franklin Fountain. Look out for a limited batch of our Hickory Ice Cream and our Black Walnut Cookies.
Hot Milkshakes
A Franklin Fountain classic, try a Hot Milkshake today! Our Toasted Marshmallow Malted is sure to delight. Fluffy Marshmallow-enriched Vanilla Ice Cream spun with Malted Milk Powder and melted Bittersweet Chocolate over one of Reverend Sylvester Graham’s Crackers (and served with toasted house-made Marshmallow)
Soda Jerk’s Choice:
Your friendly Soda Jerks are always here to help you get your order just right. If you simply can’t decide, check the Soda Jerk’s Choice board. This month we recommend Peach Praline Pie a la mode with Peach Ice Cream and Whipped Cream.

Centerpiece Gone Afoul?
Dress your table with a centerpiece of Milk and Dark Chocolate Turkeys and Cornucopias! Fill the cornucopia with a bounty of our house-made Chocolate or Penny Candy.
Meltaways
Our Orange Cashew Meltaway features Cashew Butter with Orange Zest, Dark Chocolate, topped with Candied Orange Zest. The Toasted Sesame Meltaway combines Tahini and Coconut Oil, infused in Milk Chocolate, dipped in Dark Chocolate and topped with Toasted Sesame Seeds.
New Origins: Alto Beni, Bolivia
Bold, earthy cacao from Bolivia’s Alto Beni region is in. We taste green olive and oak. Try it in our Single Origin Drinking Chocolate, or take home a tasting square to share.
Orange Zest Sugar Biscuits
Nothing pairs with our Tuscan Jasmine Cioccolato quite like these delicate delights. A hint of citrus beautifully sets off the chocolate’s floral notes. Try one with your next drinking chocolate!
Springerle
Ryan Berley spoke this past month at the German Society on his collection of Springerle moulds, and their place in Philadelphia history. Read all about it here and remember to come by Shane Confectionery this December for your own beautiful and delicious Springerle Cookies from The Springerle House.
