The first mold member includes an internal reservoir for storing and dispensing a beverage. The first and second mold members collectively define a mold cavity for forming a freezable confection. The device is further configured such that a user may simultaneously consume the frozen confection and the beverage. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device for molding a first substance and storing a second substance, the device comprising: a first mold member including: a handle portion; a flange portion connected to the handle portion; and a shaft extending from the flange portion and terminating to define a distal end portion, the shaft defining a shaft opening at the distal end portion; the first mold member defining a reservoir in communication with the shaft opening for receiving and storing the second substance; and a second mold member being connectable to the first mold member to collectively define a mold cavity for molding the first substance. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the shaft extends into the mold cavity. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the shaft is concentrically disposed relative to the second mold member when the second mold member is connected to the first mold member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the flange portion includes a plate member extending radially outward from the handle portion to define a radial edge, and a peripheral wall extending from the plate member adjacent the radial edge. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The device as recited in claim 4, wherein the second mold member defines a shape that is complimentary to the peripheral wall to cooperatively engage the peripheral wall when the second mold member is connected to the first mold member. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the second mold member defines a first end portion, an opposing second end portion, and an opening extending axially along the second mold member between the first end portion and the second end portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The device as recited in claim 6, further comprising a seal connectable to the second end portion of the second mold member and the distal end portion of the shaft to cover the opening of the second mold member and the shaft opening. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the reservoir defines a volume of approximately 1 ounce. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the first mold member includes an outer body and an inner body, the inner body being configured to be inserted into the outer body to define a nested configuration. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the outer body defines the flange portion and further includes an outer shaft portion, and an outer handle portion disposed on opposed sides of the flange portion. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The device as recited in claim 10, wherein the outer body includes an internal wall extending from the outer shaft portion to the outer handle portion to define a central cavity. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The device as recited in claim 11, wherein the inner body defines an inner shaft portion and an inner handle portion, the inner body defining a shape that is complimentary to the internal wall to allow the inner body to be nested within the central cavity. ### Claim 13 A device for molding a first substance and storing a second substance, the device comprising: a first mold member including a hollow shaft defining a shaft opening and a reservoir in communication with the shaft opening for receiving and storing the second substance; and a second mold member being connectable to the first mold member to collectively define a mold cavity for molding the first substance. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The device as recited in claim 13, wherein the shaft extends into the mold cavity. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The device as recited in claim 13, wherein the shaft is concentrically disposed relative to the second mold member when the second mold member is connected to the first mold member. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the second mold member defines a first end portion, an opposing second end portion, and an opening extending axially along the second mold member between the first end portion and the second end portion. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The device as recited in claim 16, further comprising a seal connectable to the second end portion of the second mold member and the shaft to cover the opening of the second mold member and the shaft opening. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The device as recited in claim 13, wherein the reservoir defines a volume of approximately 1 ounce. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The device as recited in claim 13. wherein the first mold member includes an outer body and an inner body, the inner body being configured to be inserted into the outer body to define a nested configuration. ### Claim 20 A method of forming a food item having a molded portion comprised of a first substance and a liquid portion comprised of a second substance, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a device including mold cavity and a reservoir; b) filling the mold cavity with the first substance; c) filling the reservoir with the liquid portion; and d) sealing the mold cavity and the reservoir.
