Speaking to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Stew Leonard’s described the treat as « the perfect combination of salty [and] sweet. »
« I held off trying the butter-dipped cone for a few days for fear that I might like it too much, and I was right to do so, » the official said.
« It’s absolutely delicious! »
She added, « The overriding flavors are obviously vanilla, butter and salt, but as you take your first bite, there’s a slight crunch from the cooled butter shell, and I think that’s what makes the cone a little addictive and totally decadent. »
