    However, try as I might, I ran into some dead ends tracking down the exact story from anyone still alive today. A U.S. trademark search turns up the first use of 'Butter Brickle' in 1924, and the first registration in 1928 by Council Bluffs candy manufacturer John G. Woodward & Co. Inc. but this is only for the butterscotch-inspired candy, not the actual ice cream.
