A frozen treat receptacle and a method for retaining a frozen confection employing the same. The frozen treat receptacle has a first wall panel coupled to a second wall panel to define a pocket with an open inner volume and an open mouth. The panels can be coupled by a unitary formation of the wall panels, by adhesive, by heat sealing, by sewing, or by any other effective arrangement. The wall panels can be formed from an insulative material, such as resiliently compressible closed cell foam material. The wall panels can be rectangular and substantially similar in size and shape and can have widths of approximately 2 and 1/2 inches, lengths of approximately 4 and 3/4 inches, and thicknesses of approximately 2 mm. The frozen treat receptacle can be capable of being removably and replaceably coupled to an external structure, such as by hook and loop material.
