Cube it, slice it, dice it, and pop it in the freezer overnight. Wake up and enjoy it right then and there. Don’t just buy the bagged kind, do it yourself because it’ll be fresher and you’ll feel more accomplished. You can even drizzle your frozen mango with some lime juice for extra flavor.
2. Grapes

Quite frankly, if you haven’t tried frozen grapes, you’re doing something wrong. Simply wash them, dry them, and throw them in the freezer on a pan with wax paper. They are healthy, naturally sweet, and if you’re dieting, you can substitute them for dessert. Or you can just sprinkle them with sugar and make it less healthy, but much sweeter.
3. Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies

Every time the doorbell rings, deep down we all hope it’s your next-door neighbor coming to sell Girl Scout cookies with her blonde braids and vest covered in patches. These cookies from eight year olds only come around every so often so make sure you stock up.
The freezer will keep them fresher but also makes the Thin Mints’ taste of cold minty goodness when you bite into them throughout the whole year, or as long as your supplies lasts.

They have the word “cool” in the name so don’t argue with this one. Even Target is putting them in their freezer section. You’ll never eat them at room temperature again.

Butterfingers are a must because of their superior butter flavor. And as a bonus, it turns crunchy and won’t get stuck in your teeth for weeks if its frozen.
Almond Joy frozen is like a chocolate covered piña colada in the palm of your hand. It’s tender with a nutty crunch aka perfection.
Not feeling like yourself because you’re hungry? Reach into the freezer for a frozen Snickers. The crunchy caramel and peanut inside as well as the chewy chocolate outside makes for the perfect frozen candy bar.
9. Yogurt

Remember those Go-Gurt tubes that your mom packed you in your lunch box everyday of elementary school? Well now that you’re old and mature, freeze them, but it’s guaranteed you’ll still look like a child eating them.
