He made everything he could think of out of marshmallow and on Saturdays he would load up his car and put his products onto city grocery store shelves on consignment. So long as an item sold, he continued to make it. In January of 1964, the founder was succeeded by his son, Jack. The business continued to grow and prosper. By the mid-1970’s it was evident that the company’s future was the Marshmallow-Filled Ice Cream Cone. All other items were discontinued as the company modernized its equipment and dedicated its resources to the manufacture of this unique item. To this day, the formulas and recipes for the marshmallow filling and the cone remain the same as they were 70 years ago and many of the original customers who ate them as kids now enjoy sharing Marshmallow Cones – and their memories – with their grandchildren!
 When I was a kid, my grandmother would buy these incredible marshmallow ice-cream cones for me, my siblings, and 6 cousins. We loved them and would wait all summer long to have them. You see, the only place we could find them was in a small, old, general store in upstate NY where my family rented a bungalow in the summer. She would buy as many as she could each time we visited.
More often than not, we ate them all day and never wanted dinner. It got to the point that the adults would take them and put them up on top of the fridge; and more often than not, we would find them eating them too! They are impossible to resist and I am so glad to have found them! ~ Michele from Virginia |
