"You have probably spotted the buildings around Florida with a giant swirl of ice cream on top. Well, that is what voters have named the No. 1 spot for ice cream in Central Florida, Twistee Treat.Twistee Treat has been around since 1983. The individual who started the ice cream shop had the vision to serve ice cream out of a big ice cream cone. Over 30 years later,\u00A0there are nearly 50 of the shops.Video: Full tour inside Twistee Treat coneWith 16 locations in Central Florida and nearly 50 in Florida, president of the company, Corey Balzer, said the next stop for the giant ice cream cone buildings, is\u00A0Dallas, Texas.The most recently opened location is in Celebration, Florida. This is where Balzer provided an all-access tour inside the cone \u2013 a tour very few get.It is very small inside the cone -- 510 square feet. Although still very crowded, the original Twistee Treats had an interior of only 350 square feet.See also: Goodfellas's Pizzeria voted No. 1 pizza place in Central Fla.\u00A0The menu is full of items, including cones, cups, shakes, sundaes and specialty items like the Waffle Taco and Cookiewich. The Waffle Taco is made in a traditional waffle iron, then dipped in hard chocolate, filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with a variety of toppings. The Cookiewiches are made of freshly baked cookies, filled with ice cream and topped with chocolate chips.Twistee Treat was voted the top ice cream spot for a reason \u2013 people are addicted!\u201CPeople are addicted to our ice cream for one reason \u2013 it\u2019s fresh and it\u2019s real.\u201D Balzer said. \u201CA lot of people don\u2019t know that you have to qualify to have real ice cream. Our competitors make up names for their \u2018ice cream\u2019 because they can\u2019t say that it\u2019s real ice cream, like the \u2018Blizzard.\u2019\u201DIf you\u2019re in a hurry and still need to satisfy your sweet tooth, the locations have a fully operational drive-through. And once you arrive at the window, whether the drive through or get served at the three windows at the front of the cone, you will find yourself with more choices than you can wrap your head around.\u201CThere are about 1.4 million combinations. You can mix any ingredient in the building and it\u2019s going to taste great,\u201D Balzer said.The choices extend beyond the ice cream combinations. Choosing a cone can be a hard decision as well. There are cake cones, sugar cones and waffle cones. The waffle cones are topped with cherry flavoring and rainbow sprinkles, butterscotch and nuts and even Oreo and chocolate dipped.\u201CAt the end of the day, we hand out smiles. Whether we\u2019re handing a treat to someone who\u2019s 8 or 80 \u2013 they are going to smile. It\u2019s just a little indulgence you have every day,\u201D Balzer said.See top 5 ice cream spots in Central Florida"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
