Two iconic Ohio-based brands, Graeter's Ice Cream and Skyline Chili, have announced a highly-anticipated collaboration: Graeter's Skyline Spice Ice Cream. 

The limited-edition ice cream flavor launches online for nationwide orders Friday, January 24, and in stores Monday, January 27. Arriving just in time for Big Game watch parties as well as the winter chili season, this chili-flavored creation combines Graeter's handcrafted French Pot ice cream with oyster crackers and Skyline's signature chili spice mix.

"Everyone who knows chili knows Skyline and, as longtime fans ourselves, we were eager to collaborate on a one-of-a-kind, must-try flavor," says Richard Graeter, president and chief executive officer, Graeter's. "Last year, speculation about our unconventional and somewhat polarizing partnership started a social media frenzy. We spent months perfecting the recipe and are extremely happy to confirm the rumors are true – and the flavor will surprise you."

"This is the first time Skyline has done a dessert collaboration, so we knew it needed to be worth it," says Dick Williams, chairman and chief executive officer, Skyline Chili. "Graeter's Skyline Spice Ice Cream has the heart and soul of both beloved Midwest-born brands in every bite." 

Graeter's Skyline Spice Ice Cream will be available in five-ounce scoops at all Skyline restaurants, in a pint and by the scoop at all Graeter's scoop shops, and in pints at select Kroger stores throughout Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Louisville, Kentucky. It is also available nationwide now for online orders.
