Moose Tracks

Moose Tracks is a branded flavor of ice cream owned and licensed by Denali Flavors Inc.^[1][2] that is manufactured by different companies under various brands. The Original Moose Tracks product description is: "vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and famous Moose Tracks fudge".^[3][4]

There are many iterations of Moose Tracks, including chocolate, mint, and brownie. Light varieties of the ice cream are produced, which have fewer calories compared to full-calorie versions.^[3] Additionally, a frozen yogurt variety is produced.^[5] The brand's mascot is the Moose Tracks moose.^[1]

The first scoop of Moose Tracks was tasted in July 1988. The name “Moose Tracks” came from a mini golf course in Marquette, Michigan located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which was right down the street from Jilbert's Dairy,^[6] the first ice cream shop to carry Original Moose Tracks.^[7]
