Preparation: Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bars

Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bars require no preparation prior to eating with the exception of having been kept frozen. Simply remove a Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bar from the box, tear open the wrapper and enjoy! Well, that's how I do it, at least. Instructions on a box of Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bars state that you should hold the wrapped bar firmly in one hand. With your other hand, push the end of the Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bar through the top seam of the wrapping.

Recommendation: Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bars

Trader Joe's Mango & Cream Bars receive my highest recommendation! Granted, my daughter was surprised when she opened one to find that there was no stick as on most ice cream bars, but that proved to be no problem. Each Trader Joe's Mango & Cream bar has a section of delicious mango and a smaller section of cream connected to it. They are easy to eat, using the wrapper to keep your fingers clean or you can put them into a bowl and eat them with a spoon.
