Well count me in on the Cho Cho Ice Cream hunt. I must admit, I had never heard of a Cho Cho being in a cup. Here in Sand Springs, OK...outside of Tulsa...the only Cho Cho that we saw was in the bar shape. I was born in 1961 and can remember buying them from the ice cream man. Probably at least through 1970. There was a company out of Tulsa that had a fleet of trucks (Mel-o-dee)that covered the general area. I liked the ice cream man so much that as an adult, I was able to buy one of the original trucks that they used...a 1958 Cheverolet truck. I am getting it close to being restored. I wanted to sell Cho Cho's so that is how I came across this site. Does anyone have a picture of the wrappers...I saw the pic of the cup. I can't believe it is this hard! The distributor must have been national since everyone seems to have a conncetion to Cho Cho's in some form across the nation. Any updates? I have a Cho Cho question request on an Ice Cream Vendor message board. If I get anything interesting I'll let you know!

I did send an email to the Food Network requesting Marc Summers do an episode on this. I did receive only a standard reply thanking me for my suggestion! Maybe if all the CHo Cho fans would go to the Food Network website and use the "contact us" link and send the same request, we could get something done!!!

Hi, I was looking up Cho Cho bars on the web and lo and behold there are people out there who remember them. I was a child in the 50's and it was my favoite ice cream. I've never found any ice cream that compares to that taste. If there's a recipe out there to duplicate it or better yet a company that makes anything close to it, please let me know.

Hi! I grew up in Albany in the 50's and 60's and I remember the ice cream man coming by with Cho Cho's. Ours were in paper cups that you rubbed between your hands to get the ice cream out. They were so good! We even nicknamed the ice cream man, Cho Cho.

Hi Everyone, I was baking homemade brownies this morning and needed info on baking in a glass pan versus metal, Googled for the information and Diana's site popped-up. Thank you Diana, reducing the temperature 25º worked perfectly.
But on to the topic at hand - Cho-Cho Ice Cream Bars.
This (scroll down past the clown) is what I remember them looking like, not so much a bar but a paper cup with a stick in the middle.
I am originally from Cincinnati and when the Cho-Cho novelty disappeared we substituted with the United Dairy Farmers Chocolate Malt to get the fix!

I sent this info before but I want to say again. I did send to Tuckers Ice Cream. I paid $160 and had 20 of their cho cho bars sent to me in dry ice. That is how bad I would love to locate an old Cho Cho. IT IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE THE OLD CHO CHO. I also wrote to the US Patent Office and paid to get info but it was only the patent on the cup. I also wrote to the city where the cup was made, but received no reply. I think the best thing to do is what was suggested on your web site, write a letter to the food network and see if they have any news on Cho Cho's or if they have a recipe. And I agree that this was probably one of the best tasting ice creams and I don't know why some ice cream company hasn't caught on to it being missing, and try to reinvent it. Maybe the food network can do this. Has anyone read this entire web site and has anyone tried the recipes? And has anyone written to the Food Network. I'm not familiar with them.
