In 1925, Casper Merrill took the milk and cream from the family milk cows and made the “original” Ice Cream Nut Sundae on a Stick, then called Casco Nut Sundaes. He made those first bars, known today as FatBoy Nut Sundaes, in a ten-gallon milk can and sold them at the local 4th of July celebration. Soon after, Casper developed his original FatBoy Ice Cream Sandwich, a much larger than usual ice cream novelty that earned its name. Customers wanted more! It wasn’t just 4th of July patrons savoring Casper’s Ice Cream; people all over the Intermountain West were making them a household name. To keep up with demand, Casper expanded his home-grown production and began making his ice cream delights to full factory production. As the years have passed the original ingredients and recipe have changed very little.
Today, Casco Nut Sundaes and FatBoy Ice Cream Sandwiches are being enjoyed coast to coast, from California to New York, and from Washington to Florida. Our FatBoy Ice Cream sandwiches recently outpaced our market competition on grocery store shelves nationwide to become AMERICA'S #1 BEST SELLING ICE CREAM SANDWICH! And we're not stopping there!! Casper’s Ice Cream, Inc. is still headquartered with our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Richmond, Utah, but we are expanding to add additional facilities and manufacturing capacity to fully service the rapidly growing demand across the country.
