chocolate's frozen alter ego, designed to melt down your wrist before your willpower
means A frozen chocolate-flavored treat on a stick, like a popsicle but made with a soft, fudgy mixture instead of fruit ice.
from A blend of 'fudge' and 'popsicle.' 'Fudge' is the soft candy whose own name is murky — possibly from an old verb meaning to botch or cobble something together, hinting that the first batch was a happy accident. 'Popsicle' was a trademarked American coinage of the early 20th century, fusing 'pop' (soda) with 'icicle.' 'Fudgsicle' followed as a chocolate sibling, and the spelling 'fudgesicle' is the natural, slightly-more-logical variant that people reach for.
