Abstract
A package for use in forming a stick-mounted frozen confection comprising a sealed chamber receiving the freezable confection liquid material, a stick handle projecting outwardly from the chamber and a wrapper defining the chamber and enclosing and properly orientating the handle relative to the confection material. The wrapper includes overlying sheets, one of which is formed to define the chamber in conjunction with a character or other simulation which will be three-dimensionally reproduced on the frozen confection. The stick handle, outward of the chamber, is offset and can be configured to complement the reproduced simulation or can incorporate indicia thereon. In addition, a rigidifying rib can be provided to strengthen the handle at the offset portion thereof. The sheets are sealed peripherally thereabout to define a rigidifying flange, a sealed chamber and a stick enclosure in conjunction with stick rigidifying webs or gussets between the projecting portion of the stick and the chamber forming portion of the wrapper. The chamber forming sheet includes an elongated recess for receiving the handle, which recess may incorporate a projecting positioning peg for reception through an aligning hole in the handle.
