How the Dove Bar Began
The Dove Bar was invented by a man named Leo Stefanos. He owned a sweet shop called Dove Candies & Ice Cream in Chicago. In 1956, he created these special ice cream bars. They were a big hit locally!
It took a while for the Dove Bar to become famous everywhere. In 1984, it was finally introduced across the whole country. Just two years later, in 1986, a big company called Mars Inc. bought the Dove brand. Mars Inc. now makes the Dove Bar and other Dove chocolate products.
What Kinds of Dove Bars Can You Find?
The most classic Dove Bar has vanilla ice cream with a milk or dark chocolate coating. But there are many other exciting flavors too! You can find bars with chocolate ice cream inside. Some even have fruit sorbet for a lighter taste. There are also coatings with crunchy nuts.
You can buy Dove ice cream bars in a few ways. They are sold individually, which is great for a quick treat. You can also find them in packs of three. Dove ice cream is also sold in larger containers called pints. These pints have a special layer of chocolate on top. This chocolate layer often has the Dove logo pressed into it. There are also smaller versions called "Minis."
Where Are Dove Bars Made?
In the United States, Dove Bars are made in a town called Burr Ridge, Illinois. This is where the delicious ice cream bars are produced before they go to stores.
