A holder for confectioneries and particularly frozen confectioneries. The holder includes a receptacle having a shape that is complementary to the shape of the confectionery and being configured to allow a major portion of the confectionery to be exposed when the confectionery is received in and supported by the receptacle, and a handle coupled to a bottom portion of the receptacle to allow the holder to be hand held. The holder is particularly useful for holding frozen confectioneries such as ice cream bars, ice cream sandwiches, etc. that are not provided with handles.
