The Tillamook Ice Cream Bars have been launched by the brand as a series of frozen desserts perfect for satisfying cravings for a sweet, creamy treat in a convenient way. The product range features a variety of classic ice cream flavors covered in a crisp, chocolatey coating that will offer a textural touch in each bite and work well with the creamy frozen interior. The bars come in four flavors including Cookies & Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Tillamook Mudslide and Vanilla Bean, which each come in boxes of four servings that are arriving now at a variety of retailers in the US.
Senior R&D Associate Scientist Hunter Clayton spoke on the Tillamook Ice Cream Bars saying, "Our new Tillamook Ice Cream Bars deliver that signature Tillamook taste without asking for compromise. The bars are everything you know and love from our creamy family size and pint ice cream, dipped in a luscious chocolaty coating. These bars are perfect because we always go the extra mile for dairy delight. Whether it's a solo snack break or a sweet treat moment, the bars are ready when you are. It's quality you can hold in your hand."
