The Dunkaroos cookie snacks were a mainstay part of the 90s and are now positioned for a comeback thanks to a recent announcement that will see the sweet treat hitting shelves once again in Summer 2020.
The General Mills snack consists of the same small coin-like cookies along with a serving of icing for dipping to make them ideal for enjoyment while out of the house. The snack will come in a vanilla cookie flavor option that comes packed with vanilla frosting that has been packed with rainbow sprinkles.
The Dunkaroos cookie snacks will be available at 7-Eleven in addition to an array of other convenience stores and will come as welcome news to nostalgic Millennials looking to enjoy the classic snack once again.
