It's nostalgic and conjures up such fun memories as a child.  Let's talk about the original Nutty Buddy ice cream cone we all ate as kids in New England.

I remember ice creams trucks coming around the neighborhood with Nutty Buddys and other childhood favorites, some which have disappeared like the origin ice cream cone, as noted in this Facebook post.

The Nutty Buddy, a beloved ice cream treat, has its origins in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Created in the mid-20th century, it quickly became a local favorite known for its delicious combination of vanilla ice cream, chocolate coating, and crunchy peanuts, all nestled inside a crisp cone, according to caughtindot.com.

The treat was originally produced by a family-owned company, the Seymour Ice Cream Company, that operated out of a small factory in Dorchester, Massachusetts, making it a nostalgic staple for residents throughout New England.

The idea behind the Nutty Buddy was simple but effective—pack familiar flavors into an easily portable and affordable snack which became a household name across the region.

Despite its success, the original Nutty Buddy faced challenges as larger ice cream brands began dominating the market.

The small Dorchester factory that once churned out thousands of cones eventually couldn't keep up with the growing competition and the knock offs.

By the late 20th century, production of the original Nutty Buddy in Massachusetts began to slow, leading to its eventual disappearance from store shelves, leaving fans nostalgic for the treat that once delighted generations.

Sure you can still find the fake Nutty Buddy cones in grocery stores like Walmart and Kroger, but just know the original is not available anymore.

My advice is to simply make your own.
