If you've ever had freeze dried ice cream before, this is the stuff. The size of each treat isn't very large, but definitely enough to enjoy. Each bar is individually wrapped. It is also lots of fun to give to anyone who hasn't had it before.
If you don't know what freeze dried ice cream is, it is pretty straight forward. All of the water is removed from normal ice cream in a special way. First the ice cream is kept frozen while a vacuum is applied to it. The vacuum causes water to slowly sublimate and vaporize. The vaporized water is eventually all sucked out and you are left with a chunk of ice cream that has everything in it but water. Note, it doesn't melt. The process brings water straight from the solid to gas. This technique is used for lots of foods because it makes the food last forever -- without water most bacteria and molds simply can't grow. If you are a hippie, feel safe. The process doesn't use any crazy chemical science that'll kill your mojo.

I don't know how many people have had "Astronaut Ice Cream" but it is sooo good. Seriously, it is something you have to try. I've had it since I was a little girl because I grew up in TX where NASA was close by. It is really convenient to feed to kids in particular because there is no mess to clean up afterwards. The best thing about the ice cream is that it really packs more flavor than you would expect and when it melts in your mouth you'll be glad you tried it.

I bought this out of curiosity, after hearing the buzz about it on the internet. I took my chances and bought 10 packages of these.
They are fantastic! It came in a box, with 10 individual wrapped packages.
These freeze dried ice creams are broken into pieces (Stop blaming packaging!) for a reason, so they are more easier to bite into, and because they crumble after being freeze dried at -40 degrees!
I love these, and I am definitely planning to buy more, just in different flavors (this flavor is great, I just don't like vanilla. Strawberry is very enjoyable). Very light and compact, and you can bring it with you in a bag or a purse when you're craving ice cream but it's raining, or whatever.
Highly recommended! Cheers, Amazon.

The best brand!
Don't ask why but I have made it a personal quest to find the best brand of astronaut ice cream and this is the one. It's creamier than others and not as sickeningly sweet. Yum.

the whole family enjoyed these
I got the 10 pack 'cause I thought I would pass them out as gift ideas. I loved eating these when I was in my teens. So I gave about 8 of them away and watched them eat it. Read more

These bring back the memories of science museum field trips. They may come broken into pieces in their individually wrapped bags but still taste awesome!
