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!
"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."
