Andy's Frozen Custard is producing daily fresh-baked waffles cones at its locations across 14 states, according to a news release.

The company said the waffle cone originally launched out of necessity at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904, when a vendor ran out of cups and borrowed another food vendor's waffles to put his ice cream in, simultaneously providing customers with an edible container. Andy's fresh-baked cones continue that tradition.

"We take pride in our state's history of innovation, and the invention of the waffle cone nearly 117 years ago is no exception," Andy's Frozen Custard President Andy Kuntz said in the release. "Andy's Frozen Custard has perfected this crepe-like treat and we look forward to serving our customers a sweet addition to our Baked Fresh Daily treats."

Customers can enjoy Andy's hand-rolled waffle cone treats as a cone, as a crushed topping on a build-your-own treat, or as part of the brand's Nutty Waffle Crunch Concrete featuring Andy's vanilla frozen custard, chunks of homemade waffle cone, crushed nuts and melted chocolate chips. Those on-the-go can also take the makings for the treats home with Andy's Quart Combo that includes a quart of frozen custard, four made in-house waffle cones and hot fudge for drizzling on top.

Andy's, founded in 1986 in Osage Beach, Missouri now has 97 locations nationwide.
