Product Review: Fruttare

The smell of Fruttare Banana and Milk reminds me of banana pudding. Matter of fact, the dingy yellow color does also, but only of the warm pudding. The milky bar has chunks of banana which at first I thought were vanilla wafers. The fruit looks very ripe. The cool treat has an intense banana flavor that makes the it tastes like evaporate milk. The 4-bar pack includes skim milk, sugar, water, milk, bananas, whey, coconut oil, and corn syrup. Fruttare comes in three other flavors: strawberry and milk, coconut and milk, and peach and milk. Generally, a box costs about $5 or $6 dollars at the grocery store. Catch them on sale and/or have a coupon. I recommend them for a convenient summer dessert. 

I plan to make these at home. Milk and fruit, how hard can it be!?! I purchased my Popsicle molds from the Dollar Tree and I am ready to go. Check back later to see how The Food Temptress fruit and milk bars turned out and to get the recipe. Which flavor of Fruttare bars will you try first?
