Trader Joe's is expanding its popular Hold the Cone! collection to include a new Strawberry Mini Hold the Cone! iteration.
If you've never had them before, Trader Joe's Hold the Cone! desserts are a sweet, creamy, and crunchy snack inspired by the combination that pools in the bottom of an ice cream cone. The brand's latest take on the concept is its Strawberry Mini Hold the Cone! variety, which consists of mini sugar cones lined with a rich, chocolatey coating and filled with a creamy strawberry-flavored ice cream made from real strawberry purée. The tiny cones are then dipped ice cream-side down in more of the rich chocolatey coating to create what looks like tiny chocolate ice cream cones with a sweet pink center on the inside.
