Apparatus and method for molding ice confections on plastic sticks which includes the step and equipment for cooling the sticks to critically low temperatures prior to insertion by inserting apparatus (2) into the cold confection mold (9) to prevent shattering, splintering and warping of the plastic stick which results from the temperature change of the plastic stick in a matter of fractions of a second. In addition, methods and apparatus for forming plastic confection sticks having unique shapes, texture and surface configuration are disclosed and sticks having such characteristics are shown. The apparatus includes a brine tank (1) to freeze the confection inserted into the mold (9) by metering apparatus (3) through supply ducts (4). The mold (9) is moved through the brine tank (1) by driven holding apparatus (10). |
