A Sweet History

One of America's favorite desserts was once found at the doctor's rather than the dinner table.

Rice pudding originated in the Middle East and gained popularity in Europe. Rice pudding with goat's milk was used by the ancient Romans for medicinal purposes. And today, one pudding company still serves a rice pudding as rich in history as it is a great-tasting dessert.

Then: The company's story began in the 1960s, when a man delivering bread discovered a unique mom-and-pop store--the "Cozy Shack." The store sold rice pudding that he brought to customers on his route. It was so well received that he bought the recipe and started the Kozy Shack company.

Now: The company, currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, still delivers old-fashioned rice pudding as well as other pudding flavors and flan desserts. The puddings are still slow cooked in kettles using fresh milk and all-natural ingredients and sold in the refrigerated dairy case.
