🥧🍫🌿 It’s Friday Pie Day at Darden’s OUTPOST! 🌿🍫🥧

This week, we’re bringing you a cool, creamy classic with a delicious twist — Mint Chocolate Chip Icebox Pie! 💚

We took our signature light and fluffy icebox filling, added a refreshing hint of peppermint, and folded in plenty of mini chocolate chips for that perfect combination of rich chocolate and cool mint. 🍫🌱

Then, we drizzled it with creamy chocolate and topped it all off with our homemade cocoa whip for one more layer of chocolatey goodness! 🍫

The result? A dreamy, creamy dessert that’s rich enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, yet light and refreshing enough to leave you wanting just one more bite!

Whether you’re finishing off a delicious meal or simply looking to add a little sweetness to your day, this pie is MINT to be! 💚😉

🥧 Whole Pie: $20
🍰 Slice: $5

Come grab a slice (or a whole pie!) while they last!

🎄🍬 HOLIDAY CANDY HAS ARRIVED AT DARDEN’S OUTPOST! 🍬🎅

We made the long trek to the South Norfolk area of Chesapeake (which, from Rushmere, seemed about as far away as the North Pole! 🎅🛷) to bring a little old-fashioned holiday sweetness back to the OUTPOST!

🍭 H. E. Williams Candy Company has been making candy since 1919, and their handcrafted confections have been a holiday tradition for generations!

Every piece of candy is handmade right there on site, and let me tell you, you could smell the sweetness before you even got out of the car! 😋 And the folks we met at Williams Candy were every bit as sweet as the treats they make! ❤️

We brought home a few nostalgic favorites to share with y’all:

🍑 Peach Buds – A little old-fashioned fruity goodness!

🌿 Mint Puffs – Light, airy, melt-in-your-mouth peppermint sweetness!

🎁 Holiday Fancy Mix – A festive box of colorful, old-fashioned candy that’s perfect for gifting, sharing, or keeping all to yourself!

There’s just something special about candy made the old-fashioned way, especially during the holidays. And we love supporting another Virginia business that’s been keeping its traditions alive for over a century! ❤️

So come on by Darden’s OUTPOST and grab a little sweetness for your holiday season. After all, Santa isn’t the only one who deserves a treat! 🎅🍬🎄

Remember those Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies tucked into your lunchbox? Think of this as that sweet memory—all grown up and dressed for fall! 🍂

We started with an extra oatmeal cookie crust, then layered on our creamy icebox filling with molasses and warm spices. We topped it with homemade Maple Whipped Cream, bites of Oatmeal Creme Pie, and a drizzle of salted caramel. 🤎

Autumn flavors captured in every bite! Come grab a slice—or a whole pie—and sweeten your weekend. 🍁

🍂 Crisp fall nights call for a little comfort food—and we’ve got your dinner covered at Darden’s OUTPOST! 🥣

We’ve restocked fresh batches of Chicken & Dumplings and Brunswick Stew this week, and added another hearty meal to the shelf—CHILI! 🌶️ Yep, we cooked up a batch yesterday, and it made for a mighty good Darden dinner last night!

We paired ours with a side of our scrumptious cooked collards. And if you come grab some chili, don’t forget a wedge of our June cheese! 🧀 That melty goodness stirred into a warm bowl makes a meal that’ll warm your heart on these crisp fall nights. ❤️

Come stock up and make supper “souper” easy!

Calling all PSL lovers! We’ve whipped up a fall treat that’s sure to spice up your weekend — Pumpkin Spice Latte Icebox Pie! 🎃☕🍁

This week’s creation was inspired by my husband’s favorite fall drink. And yes, I’m hoping he won’t be too embarrassed that I’m sharing his love for a good Pumpkin Spice Latte! 🤭❤️
