The most delicious and best tasting popsicle you can buy at Costco this summer!
Today I’m reviewing the Costco Melona Frozen Dessert Bars! It’s been a hot & dry summer where I am so I’m loving reviewing all the frozen treats from Costco right now. These are perfect if you’re craving a super fruity and tropical frozen dessert.
These Melona Frozen Dessert Bars can be found in the freezer section near all the other frozen desserts. Their item number at Costco is 1503432.
Taste
If you haven’t tried Melonar bars, get to Costco ASAP and buy a box! These are delicious! The box of Melona bars at Costco has three flavors, coconut, mango and honeydew. It’s really hard for me to pick a favorite because I think all three flavors are amazing. Even my husband who doesn’t like honeydew anything enjoyed the honeydew flavor.
These are creamy light,, sweet and super flavorful. Mango tastes like fresh, ripe mango, coconut has a distinct coconut flavor and is oh so creamy and the honeydew flavor is like eating the sweetest, best tasting honeydew you’ll ever try.
Enjoying a Melona bar makes me feel like I’m on a beach somewhere tropical when I’m really just sitting in my backyard with a bunch of noisy construction going on behind my fence. Sean my husband informed me after trying the Melona bars from Costco that I was NOT to give away a single bar to anyone (I usually share my Costco review food with friends/family).
Cost
I paid $14.99 Canadian for the box of Melona bars, the box comes with 24 bars, eight mango, eight coconut and eight honeydew and is completely worth the $14.99!
Convenience
You get three seperate smaller boxes inside the big box, each box contains eight individually wrapped bars of one flavor of Melona bar (mango, coconut or honeydew). The best before date is about 20 months from the date we purchased the box of bars.
These are a delicious snack or dessert on a hot summer day! They’re not as heavy as other frozen desserts like the Costco Heavenfull Stroopwafel Sandwiches that I’ve reviewed in the past.
Nutrition
Depending on which flavor you choose a Melona bar is 110-130 calories, two and a half to five grams of fat, 21 to 22 grams of carbohydrates, 17 to 18 grams of sugar, one to two grams of protein and 40 to 60 mg of sodium.
These are obviously high in sugar but they don’t have that many calories per bar! The Melona bars are gluten-free but are not dairy free.

Costco is very frustrating. They run out and that’s it! They get them back at the beginning of the summer and they were gone end of July. We need to complain to the 800 number, which I do every year. I want them to carry it year round. Seasonal item – CRAP! They carry ice cream all year.
I also like Melona ice cream very much. I think your detailed review will make more fans. I want to keep it packed in the freezer all the time, so can you tell me the width and height of one Melona box?
They no longer sell them here in the Midwest. I’m in Indiana. Do you know another place to buy them?
Hi Natalie,
How do you know if they are gluten free if there is whey powder in them. Some whey has gluten. I have celiac, and I really want to try these bars. thanks
Whey is a milk protein, I’ve never known it to have gluten. If you’re worried about gluten I would contact Melona and double check.
I just picked up two boxes of these. They are so good. I kept looking every time I went in Costco when they would get them back I picked up a box for myself, and my grandson asked me to pick up a box for him.
Im literally like “tripping” about the day their coming in. What month? I get their seasonal. The poor Costco members, Iv called a few times to see what month they arrive! I cant wait! Seriously they’re that good!!!!
Upon inquiring why Melona vanished in two weeks, the store manager dutifully informs me that it is a seasonal item. Didn’t know that I couldn’t eat Melona during the other three seasons of the year. Baffling why you wouldn’t stock a wildly popular item year round. Makes no sense.
Is there anywhere else that one can purchase these popsicles other than Costco? They run out too fast……
Walmart has them
Costco does not sell them any more, Too bad they were so good.
We found these in Hawaii years ago, we were so happy to find them at Costco this summer, unfortunately my wife just told me that it looks like they are already gone….
Melon flavor is fave!
I think they sell out pretty fast but Costco keeps stocking them!
Costco is no longer selling product in San Diego. How can I go about buying more of the bars?’
You can try another local grocery store!
Amazon obviously has them if you bothered to check Melvin…
I am addicted to them but the stores in Seattle area have been sold out! I wish I
Could order on line’
Did they get them back in for summer 2022? I haven’t been able to find them this year. Hope so! They are amazing!
I bought these for the first time at a Costco during the current ad. They are amazing. Like your husband, I’m not a fan of Honeydew, but even these are over-the-top good. Mango is my favorite by far, but all three flavors are good. Granted, I wouldn’t call them “healthy” by any means, but one here and there should be fine. I just wish they would have the STRAWBERRY flavor in the assortment. I’m sure those would be awesome.
I agree! Strawberry would also be delicious!
What a shame. I’m sure they taste great, but these aren’t organic and not even non-GMO. Heavy with corn syrup (and since this isn’t organic, that would be corn that was dosed with lots of poisonous Roundup) listed right have water and sugar. Even if it doesn’t taste sweet as this promo (disguised as a review) states, that’s still a whopping 18 grams of sugar.
As much as I’d like to try these, I like my body way too much to subject it to this….
What a wet blanket. If you don’t have anything constructive to say about the product nor the site, shut the fuck up 🙂
The only comments should agree with the puff piece or shut up? Really? This is nothing I would eat either.
I agreed. It says natural flavor but them have a lot of preservatives that make upset my stomach.
Just to let you know, these are made in Korea. Korean foods are much more healthier than the ones sold in the states. Just look at Korean bodies compared to American bodies, it tells a lot. So even if it has similar ingredients in the states, the way they process it and make it is much more different
They’re made in the United States soooooo
it says on the box that it is made in korea
They are great! I first had these in Hawaii many years ago. Can you tell me if the Sioux Falls, SD location will be getting these this summer?
Hi Brian! I can’t tell you if that Costco specifically will be getting the Melona bars but most Costco locations carry them in the summer.
They’re actually in the current Costco coupon book mailed out to card members. $3.50 off- no limit as to qty u may purchase! Valid May 18- June 12, 2022
These are amazing, please keep these all the time.!!!!!!!
AMAZING!!
I was wondering about these bars, now I know I am very likely to like them. Thanks for trying out all this stuff for us Natalie! So helpful.
Let me know what you think of them if you try them!
I tried them and I LOVE them. All the flavours are great, coconut is my favourite. If you can have only one, they are wonderful!
