In 1937 Ruth Wakefield added cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestle chocolate bar to a cookie recipe. The cookies were a huge success, and in 1939, Wakefield signed an agreement with Nestle to add her recipe to the chocolate bar’s packaging. The Nestlé brand Toll House cookies were named for the Inn.

The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. Once ice cream sandwiches became popular, recipes included everything from angel food and sponge cake to shortbread cookies. It sure beats peanut butter and jelly! #IceCreamSandwichDay
