As a kid, summer afternoons were spent lounging by the pool. After lunch, we'd wait to hear that magical jingle. Then, we'd break open our piggy banks and run down the driveway before it was too late!

Actually, I didn't live in a neighborhood, so there was NEVER an ice cream truck...

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

But, I can just imagine kids experiencing the joy of choosing a cool and creamy treat on those hot summer afternoons. Sigh... From Mickey Mouse pops and Choco Tacos to ice cream sandwiches and Orange Creamsicles, there's something comforting about enjoying treats that were also enjoyed by my parents and even grandparents. Standing the test of time means it has to be good- right!?!

With that winning combination of orange and vanilla, Creamsicles have long been a family favorite! Sweet and creamy, with a touch of citrus. Now you can enjoy this summertime treat in cookie form!

Ooh...you could also serve with vanilla ice cream!

What is a creamsicle?

Made by Good Humor for almost 100 years, these frozen treats feature vanilla ice cream coated with orange sherbet. Both "Creamsicle" and "Popsicle" are brand names owned by Unilever. Orange was the original flavor; however, now there are many to choose from- raspberry, lime, grape, blueberry, and more!

What is the difference between a creamsicle and a dreamsicle???

Both have that magical combo of orange and vanilla. The Dreamsicle uses ice milk; while Creamsicle uses ice cream. Ice cream is made from milk and cream, while ice milk only uses milk. The biggest difference is creaminess. Dreamsicles never caught on quite the same as Creamsicles! Unilever now owns all frozen treats ending in -sicle.
