Disney4me Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Fans of the Gold Rush Peanut Butter Sundae at Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop in Downtown Disney on either coast (and fans of peanut butter in general — like me!), take note: Ghirardelli is no longer using peanut butter as an ingredient in any of their ice cream sundaes and chocolates, or as a choice for ice cream toppings.Learn About:Ghirardelli Soda FountainDowntown DisneyDisney World RestaurantsWhy the sudden change? Well, in actuality, it’s not so sudden.You see, the Ghirardelli facilities began taking steps toward going peanut-free in 2013 in order to become more allergy-friendly for guests with allergy concerns. However, this didn’t affect the in-house sundaes, like the popular Gold Rush (vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, melted peanut butter, and whipped cream) until now, with their removal from the menus in both Disneyland and Disney World over the recent weeks.Ghirardelli in Downtown Disney, OrlandoGold Rush Peanut Butter SundaeGuests who have allergies — as well as parents of those who have them — may find it helpful to know that, at this time, some products are still made with tree nuts, andCast Members can assist with further information.While unconnected, this change corresponds with the roll out of the allergy-friendly menus at more than 100 restaurants in Disney World and Disneyland, in an attempt to make dining away from home less-stressful for those with food allergies and intolerances.So while I’ll definitely miss my Gold Rush, I can understand. And for all you diehard peanut butter fans (have I mentioned myself?), don’t forget: there’s always the No Way Jose at Beaches & Cream and the All-American Sundae at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor to keep us more than happy .What do you think of the discontinuation of peanut butter use at Ghirardelli?
