Standing six and a half inches tall, these chocolate dinos are a tasty way to relive a popular cartoon series. The Deluxe Reptar Chocolate Bar is a dinosaur-shaped piece of chocolate inspired by the toy from the beloved 90s cartoon 'Rugrats.' However, these aren't just any old dinosaur-shaped chocolate bars. Instead, the chocolate Reptar Bars are "green frosting filled [caramel milk chocolate with peanut crunch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-white)" that turns your tongue green. There is also an exclusive [Reptar on Ice Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-bar-ice-cream), which features blue frosting instead of green.
