It had Dilly wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, he had eyes, with the swirl serving as his nose! I had a small plastic pin with this Dilly on it, proclaiming "I'm a Dilly!" If someone has one, it would be great to see an on line photo of it! Perhaps Brenda’s comment “just a boy in Kansas and [he]named it too,” explains the first paper wraper I remember.

According to Brenda, her dad invented it. Interesting read. The first one is made in Kansas. Ben Hi J: Checkout the comment from Brenda (a few comment above this).

My very first task was to dip the dilly bars. The dilly bar maker had already made the ice cream part and inserted the stick. Then they went into the freezer to get nice and hard. I then took each one, dipped it in a moat of chocolate, clipped the bottom of the stick to a clothes pin that was mounted on a circular track parallel to and above the moat of chocolate. That top ring spun around with clips at the correct intervals, so that by the time the first one came back around, it was dry and ready to slide into the paper then back into the freezer. I haven't been to a DQ in a long time, but the last time I was there, the dilly bars were NOT made on site. They were in a box, from a factory. Made me sad. I didn't think any of them made them on site any more, but I wasn't sure. I worked at a DQ as my first real job at age 15. My very first task was to dip the dilly bars.

I think it's neat that you like them so much. I also have a fondness for them as my Dad invented the dilly bar when he was just a boy in Kansas and named it too, not too many know that fact. He use to ride his horse down to the Dairy Queen in the evenings to get them both a ice cream cone. Well the owner of the Dairy Queen liked my Dad and his horse, so one evening he was watching the owner cleaning out his soft serve machine and tossing out all the ice cream, well that gave my Dad idea, why waste good ice cream. So he asked the owner if he could try something and he said sure. So my Dad got a cookie sheet tray and placed blobs of ice cream on the cookie sheet and then place it all in the deep freeze, as the ice cream was stiffing up he took the tray back out and stuck popsicle stick into each one and back to the freezer they went. The next evening my Dad showed back up with his horse and went inside to check on the ice cream. He pulled them out of the freezer and the owner asked now what? That's when my Dad went over to the hard chocolate dipping sauce and dipped one of the bars in pulled it out and took a bit, looked up at the owner and said that's one dilly of a bar, and that's how it all started.

I'll be there on Monday and pick up a few packs on the way back from work. How did you know of the 1-for-1 deal? I can't find it on the DQ website. Hi Sandy: Thanks for the tip!
