Ice cream pops come in many flavors.
An 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson discovered he could make a frozen pop from a mixture of water and soda that had a stick in it. At first he called it the "Epsicle," but it was later known by the brand he founded in 1923: the Popsicle. From the Popsicle ice pops came bars on a stick made of ice cream. Over the years, they have evolved to different concoctions from that brand, as well as chocolate covered, candy or cookie and diet ice cream pops.
Popscicle
Popscicle introduced the world to the Fudgsicle and the Creamscicle. Although this brand owns the trademark on those names, many brands have duplicated these types of ice cream bars. The Fudgsicle is made of chocolate fudge ice cream and can be found in various sizes and versions. The original Creamscicle has vanilla ice cream and is coated in orange, but similar bars have been made with different flavored ice creams and other fruit coatings.
Chocolate Covered
Chocolate-covered ice cream bars are a popular type, and come in a number of different varieties. The original bars were vanilla ice cream with a milk chocolate coating, but companies have become creative. Chocolate covered ice cream bars now come with many types of ice cream, and may also have a dark chocolate coating. Sometimes, you can find nuts or toffee added to the chocolate.
Candy or Cookies
Manufacturers make ice cream bars that coincide with your favorite candy bars or cookies. Reese's, Snickers, Dove and Oreo are a few of the brands that have ice cream bars made to taste like the original product. Unfortunately, some of these contain artificial colors and flavors to obtain that taste, so look at the labels carefully before grabbing a bar with your favorite candy's name on it.
Diet
In a society where many are weight-conscious, almost all brands have ice cream bars available in diet versions. The term diet can mean lower in fat, containing less calories, or sugar-free. Certain brands, such as Weight Watchers and Skinny Cow, only make diet ice cream bars. These companies keep their products low-calorie and may have smaller portions than other ice cream bars to achieve lower calorie and fat values.
