Trader Joe’s recently debuted a new vegan fudge ice cream bar, adding to its growing list of plant-based dessert options. The Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars mirror the classic fudgesicle but use oat milk and semisweet vegan chocolate instead of conventional milk chocolate and dairy milk. The grocery chain is working to create plant-based alternatives to familiar favorites that allow vegan shoppers to easily find plant-based staples that typically contain animal products.
“These fudgy bars are a delicious gluten-free and vegan version of a nostalgic treat that comes with memories, but not the dairy,” Trader Joe’s described its newest dessert. “Chocolate-y, silky, and satisfying, these are sure to be a hit for all ages.”
