SIOUX CITY, Iowa — For the first time in its 97-year history, the Twin Bing has been made into an ice cream.
Twin Bing Dream Ice Cream — which was introduced in late November — has been a fast seller at Palmer Specialty Foods, a specialty grocery store near downtown Sioux City.
“This may seem like a strange time of the year to introduce a new ice cream,” said Casey Miller, a sales associate. “But our customers can’t get enough of it.”
The ice cream is a collaboration between Palmer Candy Co., the Sioux City-based manufacturer of the iconic chocolate and nut-covered cherry nougat Bing, and Stensland Family Farms Creamery, of Larchwood, Iowa.
And Twin Bing Dream Ice Cream was born, a partnership between Stensland, a seven-generation, family-owned dairy farm, and Palmer, a five-generation, family-owned candy company.
