There are two nice ice cream places on the Boardwalk that Accept snack credits...one is Beaches and cream in the beach Club Resort (snack credits can only be used at the takeout window for cones, dishes of ice cream and some beverages) and the location for ice cream that we preferred is SeaShore Sweets which is right on the Boardwalk Between the ESPN Zone and the Boardwalk hotel...for one snack credit you can get a huge two scoop sundae with choce of three toppings...more than enough to share and there are tables outside to sit and enjoy...I know these are not Ghiradelli, but they are great alternatives...BTW, I think one sundae at Ghiradelli will set you back somewhere around $8 or 9 dollars, maybe more!!
