Made by a supplier in Thailand, the new Mango & Passion Fruit Squares are made by sweetening juicy mango and tangy passion fruit with sugar and then drying both fruits until they take on a [chewy, leather-like texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-amazing-soft-dried-apricots). After the fruit has dried, it's cut into snack-sized squares and individually wrapped for handy, on-the-go snacking. Instead, each package you'll find 17 individual mango and passion fruit squares, which is enough for plenty of school lunches or a sweet midday pick-me-up you can keep at your desk. As Trader Joe's puts it, "each bite is balanced with a quotient of tart and sweet flavors to tender and toothsome textures and alluringly tropical aromas, and you’ve got a formula for the [ideal, anytime fruit snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solely-fruit-snacks)."
