Ice Cream Bars & Cones comprise a popular and convenient segment within the frozen dessert category, featuring individually portioned, handheld treats designed for easy enjoyment. This segment is characterized by its combination of ice cream with edible containers or coatings, making it a favorite for on-the-go snacking, casual desserts, and warm-weather indulgence.
Ice Cream Bars include a variety of enrobed or dipped frozen treats, such as:
Classic Vanilla or Chocolate Bars: Simple, creamy ice cream on a stick, often dipped in a chocolate or yogurt coating.
Novelty Bars: Features like caramel swirls, nut coatings, cookie crumbles, or fruit-filled centers (e.g., strawberry shortcake bars).
Gourmet and Premium Bars: Artisanal options using high-quality ingredients, such as dark chocolate coatings, sea salt caramel, or exotic fruit flavors.
Ice Cream Cones come in two primary forms:
Pre-filled Cones: Ready-to-eat cones filled with ice cream and topped with sauces, nuts, or sprinkles, sealed with a flat or dome-shaped chocolate lid.
Ice Cream Cones (Empty): Crispy, edible wafer or sugar cones sold separately for serving with scoopable ice cream at home.
