Casper's Ice Cream was established in 1925 by Casper Merrill who made the first ice cream sundae on a stickbars with the milk and cream of his family's milk, and these bars were the original Ice Cream Nut Sundae on a Stick which he named it as the Casco Nut Sundaes. The first bars that are known today as the Fatboy Nut Sundaes were made with 10 gallon milk can. Merrill sold these ice cream bars on a 4th of July event and he then made the first Fatboy brand sandwich which was much larger than the usual ice cream novelty. The company is currently owned by Merrill's grandsons.

There are more than 360,000 ice cream bars sandwiches that are produced daily, which can be found in major national retailers.

Ice cream is a frozen dessert, typically made from milk or cream and flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries or peaches. It can also be made by whisking a flavored cream base and liquid nitrogen together. Food coloring is sometimes added, in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.
