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 found this on Cho-Cho's: Cho cho bars According to the records of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Cho Cho ice cream novelties were introduced by the Carnation Company June 6, 1939. The trademark was reassigned to the Popsicle Company in 1982. The brand/product expired in 2003. Original record here: "Word Mark CHO-CHO Goods and Services (CANCELLED) IC 030. US 046.

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. http://www.food.com/recipe/wendys-frosty-67566 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. http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m1108M10.htm#1

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. Barbara DeMento

>quote< diana 05-19-2012 @ 1:42PM Dear Bruno, I am so sorry for not thanking Rich Creator for his recipe for Cho Cho's. I am thanking him now (Thank you Rich so very much!!), and also I want to thank you Bruno for bringing this to my attention. Please except my apology. >unquote< Never in my life have I seen such a blatant disingenous apology which reveals the true character of the person.
