Are Klondike® bars kosher?

I guess we could put more bars in our packages, but six is our favorite number. And to be honest, if your goal is to have more Klondike® bars, you could always just … buy … more … Klondike® bars, right?

How long can I store Klondike® ice cream after opening?

Great question. As long as your Klondike® product has never melted and been re-frozen and you’re enjoying it by the “Tastes Best Before” date, you should be all set. We don’t recommend refreezing melted products because the flavor and consistency will be affected. And no one likes it when their Klondike® bars are … affected. Here are a few tips to keep them as fresh as possible: At the supermarket, buy frozen foods last. Be sure the package shows no signs of thawing and refreezing. Ask to have your Klondike® ice cream be bagged in plastic with other frozen foods. At home, immediately unpack the ice cream and place it in the coldest part of the freezer, not in the door where it is subject to more fluctuating temperatures.

There’s not enough chunks, swirls, crunch, flavor, etc. in my Klondike® bar

Well this is a bit of a catch-22. We try to make all those chunks, swirls and crunches in our Klondike® bars and ice cream sandwiches as satisfying as possible, but sometimes they taste so good you just have to have more. If you have specific comments, we’d be happy to chat on our consumer care line (1-800-931-2830) or drop us a line on our contact us page.

I saw that you have a new no anti-growth hormone used in your cows claim on your packaging. can you tell me more about that?

We’ve made a commitment to only use milk and cream from American cows that are not treated with artificial growth hormones (Hooray for doing the right thing!). But, FYI, while our ice cream may meet this standard, suppliers of other ingredients like cookies, candies and sauces may not be able to make the same pledge. That said, the FDA states that no significant difference has been shown between dairy products derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST-treated cows. Hope that helps.☺

How do you come up with Klondike® bar flavors and other new ice cream creations?
