Description

An ice cream bar is a frozen dessert on a stick. It features ice cream, distinguishing it from an ice pop, which does not contain any ice cream. Ice cream bars are often dipped and covered in chocolate.

History

In the US, the Eskimo Pie chocolate bar was invented in Iowa by a pharmacy owner named Chris Nelson,[1] who was inspired by a boy named Douglas Ressenden who could not decide between candy and ice cream. They were named "I-Scream-Bars" in the original test run.[2] One of the earliest advertisements for Eskimo Pies appeared in the November 3, 1921 issue of the Iowa City Press-Citizen.[3] A patent was awarded in 1922,[4] but invalidated in 1928.[5]

According to the Good Humor ice cream company, confectioner Harry Burt invented ice cream on a stick in 1920, and was granted a patent in 1923.[6] [7] [4] This product also was enrobed in chocolate,[8] and other products were produced.[9]
