What You Should Know

You'd find these bars in the frozen aisle next to novelty ice creams and single-serve treats — an easy grab during a weekly grocery run or for keeping in the freezer for a sweet craving. They give an indulgent, slightly wholesome vibe (thanks to almonds and sea salt) but the creamy, uniform texture and long ingredient list hint at industrial processing rather than a simple homemade frozen almond bar.
