choc-top
n.— «Choc-tops are just an ice cream that you’d get from the movies—small ball of ice cream on a cone covered in chocolate. They came pre-made, so they were different to normal ice cream with chocolate. But they were always a special treat when you went to the movies as I was growing up :)» —“Two-Day Holiday Weekend” by James Noble The Musings of Kev July 5, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
