It transforms my summer into the most magical time of the year.

Costco carries the new combo pack that contains the strawberry ice cream bars.

Initially, the change felt bittersweet, as the coconut ice cream bar is my reigning favorite.

However, my disappointment quickly dissipated after trying the strawberry bar.

It tastes just like strawberry milk!

It has the vibrant, fruity taste youd expect from fresh strawberries and a smooth, milky finish.

Melona is known for its focus on favorite Asian flavors.

Its truly the smoothest ice cream Ive ever had.

Beyond the Ice Cream Bar

Another reason Melona bars are so special is their versatility.

Enjoy the bars as-is or melt them down to make drinks and desserts.

I like to keep it simple and make mango Melona floats.
