For the summer, sweetFrog is supporting the 50th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar with a special themed frozen dessert—the Very Berry Apple Swirl. The two-colored frozen treat that is being launched in partnership with Penguin Young Readers features a combination of Farm Stand Strawberry Ice Cream and Green Apple Sorbet. As well as offering a look that mimics the green and red colors of the picture book caterpillar, the summertime swirl offers a fusion of sweet and tart flavors that tie in with the two fruits that are meaningful to the classic story.
For a limited time, the Very Berry Apple Swirl treat is being offered at sweetFrog locations, offering a nostalgic snack that kids and adults of all ages and generations will enjoy.
