What is a Star Bar? A Star Bar is a Blue Ribbon Classics! It is a vanilla flavored frozen dairy dessert dipped in chocolate flavored coating. Star Bars are nostalgic for me. I’m not sure if it is the light snapping sound you get when you bit into the chocolate outside coating or if it’s the sweet taste of the vanilla dessert inside but regardless, it is nostalgic. I love passing along that nostalgic feeling to my son who is also a huge fan of Blue Ribbon Classics Star Bars. Hampton is such a big fan, I had to figure out a way to make them festive this St. Patrick’s Day! Lucky for you, I am sharing this creative, easy and fun way to enjoy Star Bars.
