I too am part of the Spagnolo family of the former
Spagnolo Ice Cream Company in Harrisburg, PA. To give
just one example of how popular the Cho Cho's were here
in the 1950's, I will just tell you that a mention of
them, during a private conversation, at small grocery
store in Hershey last week, elicited comments from at
least 4 nearby shoppers. One women said, "Did you say
something about Cho Cho's? Where can I get some? I
haven't had one in years. They were my favorite."

I am so proud to be part of the Spagnolo family from Spagnolo's Ice Cream. This Ice Cream company was in Harrisburg, PA which has been closed for many years now and once sold the Cho Cho. They were great and I so miss eating them. My first memory of a Cho Cho was about age five. Rolling that cup in my hand, hearing that pop when you pulled it out of the cup and then eating that great tasting frozen malted milk flavored treat was the best part of summer as a child. I so would like to make a trip to that store in Temple, PA. and see if they have the same thing or not.

Hi, Diana. I'm new here. I noticed your
question about the Cho-Cho ice cream bar. I've never
had them, I'm only nineteen, but I've found a few sites
describing them, and I've seen (and made) something
very similar. All you need is an ice cream maker, a
basic chocolate ice cream recipe and some malt (the
kind you just stir into milk, like Carnation brand).
Any ice cream recipe can be altered to incorporate
malt. After you make the ice cream, let it stay soft
for a few minutes and push it into 5 oz Dixie cups (or
the like). Place a circle of food-safe cardboard or
parchment paper over the top and push a Popsicle stick
through into the soft ice cream; freeze until hard. Or
just make it easy and use a popsicle mold...

I just discovered this site when I was searching for the Cho-Cho Ice Cream
that I remember from childhood in San Francisco. On Saturday
afternoons, I would go down to my grandmother's house, two blocks
away, to watch Bar-Seven Theater. We didn't have a TV. My dad thought
that it was a "passing fancy." That turned out to be a good thing; when we
finally got one, we had the biggest screen on our block. Sorry for
digressing a bit. My grandmother would give me money to go to the
corner market to buy ice cream. I always bought Cho-Chos in the cup
with the stick. After 60+ years, I can still remember the feeling of rolling
the cup in my palms to loosen the ice cream, and I can still remember that
wonderful taste. I have enjoyed reading other people's memories of such
a unique ice cream. Thanks, Sue

Hi...My mother always thought that a Wendy's Frosty was just like the Cho
Cho's of her youth. Here is a link to a recipe for the Frosty...maybe try
making it and then freezing it into the shape you want.

Good luck!

I tried both and neither taste like the original Cho Cho. Tuckers was so far off and I had them shipped to the east coast from the west coast.
Good try, Thanks.

I don't know if you ever found the Cho-Cho bars or the recipes, however, I found a site that lists a place that they can still be purchased as well as a recipe for them.

Bruno,
That is an assumption on your part. Diana may have mispelled the word except/accept.
Whatever she meant, I agree with her.
I have included on this site all of the research I have done and purchases that I have made to find the "true cho cho in a cup." I don't need a thank you. I appreciate Diana creating this site for us to share. Diana, please accept my thanks, I should have done it much sooner.
I have a problem with Bruno and Rich Creator's attitudes. They shine a dark cloud on something that was meant to be enjoyable to research and remember the past.
Diana, Please don't get discouraged or even consider closing down this site. You are making too many people happy. As Abe Lincoln said, You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you cant please all of the people all of the time . You are obviously pleasing the majority of the cho cho cup people most of the time.
I really can't figure out why it is so important to be recognized for a contribution to this site OR people choosing to continue to look further until they are content they have found it.
FREEDOM IS A GREAT THING.
