Thai food lovers will be thrilled to hear that Trader Joe's has just added new Mango Sticky Rice Crisps to its snack lineup.
For those unfamiliar, Mango Sticky Rice is a fan-favorite Thai dessert that involves cooking rice in creamy coconut milk and topping it with fresh mango. Trader Joe's Mango Sticky Rice Crisps manages to capture the taste of this signature Thai treat, but delivers it in a fresh new format. The new product is made by a supplier Thailand who mixes sticky rice with coconut milk, sweetened dried mango, mango syrup, and sesame seeds to create a crunchy, rice cake-like cracker. The result is a crispy snack that still delivers the toasty nuttiness and tropical sweetness of classic mango sticky rice.
