What’s a Dunkaroo?
If Dunkaroos mania passed you by the first time around, here’s what you need to know. The original treat came in individual snack packs, which contained vanilla cookies on one side and frosting—vanilla or chocolate—on the other side for dipping. These all-in-one snacks were the ultimate after-school treat.
