Ingredients and Procedure Creamy Mango Graham Bars:

Tips when buying Mango:

When selecting ripe mangoes in the market, here are some tips to help you choose the best ones:

1. Check the Color: Depending on the variety, a ripe mango might have shades of yellow, orange, or red. While color can be a helpful indicator, remember that not all varieties turn the same color when ripe (for example, some stay green), so it's best combined with other checks.
2. Feel the Texture: Gently squeeze the mango—it should yield slightly to pressure, feeling soft but not mushy. Avoid mangoes that feel too hard, as they are likely underripe, or overly soft, which could mean they are overripe or spoiled.
3. Smell the Stem Area: The stem end of a ripe mango should have a sweet, fruity aroma. This scent is usually a good sign that the mango is ripe and ready to eat. If there's no scent, it might still be underripe.
4. Avoid Blemishes or Dark Spots: While some freckles or minor blemishes are okay, large dark spots or bruises might mean the mango is overripe or damaged.
5. Choose by Weight: A ripe mango should feel heavy for its size, which often means it's juicy. Lightweight mangoes might need more juice and could be dry or underripe.
6. Consider the Season: Mangoes are usually best in peak season, which can vary by region but generally fall during the warmer months. Off-season mangoes may have been ripened artificially and might lack flavor.

These tips should help you pick sweet, juicy mangoes ready to enjoy!

Storing Leftover Creamy Mango Graham Bars

Freezer Storage: To prevent freezer burn, wrap the bars tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in an airtight container. This will prevent them from picking up any odd odors from your freezer. It will stay delicious for up to one week.

The holidays are a fantastic time to turn this dessert into a small home-based business, with the demand for festive treats.

Package them in attractive containers, add a little ribbon or holiday-themed sticker, and you'll have a product people want. Share them with friends, family, and neighbors—they will likely return asking for more!
