Dunkaroos are a compound snack for which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Without the frosting, you're just eating some alright-tasting cookies. And without the cookies, you're basically just eating frosting out of a can like a degenerate.
If you could only pick one, though, you'd be foolish not to opt for that frosting. Thankfully, that's exactly what one of the latest additions to Betty Crocker's lineup is all about. Confirmed by an Instagram post from the brand itself, standalone Dunkaroos frosting will soon be out in the wild.
Specifically, it looks like Betty Crocker plans to offer cans of Dunkaroos' vanilla frosting, replete with a bounty of rainbow sprinkles that add extra bursts of sweetness and fun. The frosting comes in massive 16 ounce cans, which is quite a bit more than the roughly one cubic inch of frosting you'd find in an individual snack pack of Dunkaroos.
With that significant increase in size comes an exponential growth in the frosting's possible use cases. Whereas Dunkaroos frosting was once primarily used for dipping tiny cookies, you could now use this can of vanilla frosting to dip normal-sized cookies, make a Dunkaroos cake without making your own frosting from scratch, or pretty much create anything else this nostalgic snack may inspire. Given that we've already seen Dunkaroos beer and cereal, the sky really is the limit.
Though Dunkaroos frosting may be the star of the show, it's far from the only worthy treat shown off this week in Betty Crocker's new seasonal lineup. In addition to a range of springtime cookies (including a Hershey's blossom cookie kit), a Reese's Pieces Surprise Cupcake Kit will surely blow some minds this Easter.
You'll find vanilla-flavored Dunkaroos frosting hitting stores in March, but it'll only be around for a limited time. Nothing this amazing was made to last forever, after all. Just grab a good supply, and you may have enough frosting fit for cookie dipping to last you a good long while.
