Back in 1986 America was head over heels for Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee. Australia became a huge thing and Australian characters popped up in several tv shows, movie and cartoons. In 1990 Betty Crocker debuted an Australian sounding snack with a kangaroo mascot, named Sydney, called Dunkaroos. These snacks held about 10 cookies and frosting for dunking the cookies. The name was a portmanteau or Dunk and Kangaroo. I was at a local grocery store today and I saw them so I picked up a few packages, one for everyone in the house, so the kids could also enjoy this sweet treat from when I was younger.
The kids have discovered Biscoff cookies. I brought some home for a snack to enjoy during work and Eva found them. She found them and decided that she loved them! Eva and I discussed the possibility of using them to make S’mores. So, for the 4th I picked up some Red, White and Blue Hershey’s Chocolate bars. We made them tonight and they were pretty tasty. I think that next time I’m going to make inside-out S’Mores. I make those by roasting an extra large marshmallows and then stuffing it with the chocolate and cookie. We’ll make those at home over the fire table.
