Description
"you don't just eat, you Dunk-a-roo" was the tag line of an Kangaroo shaped animal cracker that you can dunk in the frosting it provided. Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla and I think they had a promotional w/ sprinkles one 4th of July.

They should totally still make these. They were great.
I loved these in my lunch when I was young, can you still get them somewhere?
I found this...While most people believe that Dunk-a-Roos are no longer produced, this is false, and they can still be found in places such as Sam's Club. They are still very popular in Canada... I am going to check it out because dunk-a-roos are awesome!
I live in Edmonton AB Canada and they still sell them here you can get them at any food store here
they do make these..they are in the aisle by the fruit roll ups, pop tarts and granola bars! they still taste awesome!
The absolute best Dunk A Roos were the cinnamon crackers that had the vanilla icing and sprinkles. Not too much better than that!
and the kangaroo always said, "HOw do you dip your Dunk-a-roos? I dip em in CHocolate!!!" (in an aussie accent, of course)
I can confirm that I've seen these at Hannaford's just a month and half ago and on Amazon yesterday. Also they're supposedly available at Costco's and Dollar General so let's bring these back folks!
hey kellie what is the number to the store and the name of the store
I live in Indiana and I buy Dunk-A-Roos all the time for my daughter at Dollar General. They only have the cinnamon with sprinkle icing, but that was my favorite anyway!
I loved the chocolate, and the cinamon ones. And for those of you looking for them http://www.amazon.com/Dunkaroos-Graham-Chocolate-Frosting-6-Count/dp/B000EMOCKS
PS.. Your Welcome! MerrY Christmas
I still remember the jingle: "Dunk-a-roos, Dunk-a-roos... taste so good with a glass of MOOOO!" My mom never bought them, but I always wanted to try them.
Delicious. Still around. What more can I say? If you live in the US, try Sam's Club, that's where I buy mine.
I only had them once, when they first came out. Didn't have enough frosting with the cookies though. But the cookies were good.
I remeber them too. Here in new Zealand they were popular. Shame u can't get them anymore
I remember these, I used to always take them to school, but these are still widely available in Canada, my kids take them to school all the time.
I can still find these in the stores, but for those of you who can't, a good substitute is honey teddy grahams dipped in vanilla cake frosting! Yummy!
they are still being made you just have to go to the right places. Like Canada....
My daughter is eating them right now! I got them at Acme.
I remember they had these at the dollar store and we swore we struck gold because we could afford them, hmmmmmmm I'm having someone look for them right now in Ohio, I've never heard of Acme
Hm. Dunk-a-Roos was first launched in 1993. not really an 80s food. They are still around too.
I have very fond memories of eating these. They were so yummy!
I want to buy them Please tell me where they can be purchased. My kids loved them
I loved these, but my mom refused to buy them. I only ate them if friends shared at their houses or at school.
Doreen I like that idea! Dunkaroos were the best!
I have found these at Family Dollar on occasion! My son loves them as much as I did.
They sell these at our local "Dollar General" store. But they only carry the vanilla
I just took a dunkaroo out of my ass. godamn that's some good chocolate.
my wife is nuts. she ment my ass.
Dunkaroos are '90s, not '80s. The concept itself is so very '90s, I don't even see how anybody got confused on this one.
They were launched in 1988. why argue about it anyways? I'm just happy to hear they still make 'em. I remember eating them as a kid, and if they were made in the 90s, that would make me much younger than I am...that'd be nice though :P
I can't find them anywhere around here, but I did find that if you Take Teddy Grahams and dunk them in Vanilla cake frosting... YOu get the same effect. Yum! ^_^
Ive been looking for over a month for Dunk ARoos! and i cant seem to find them anywhere! Anyone from PA know where to find them!?
Is it just me or was there never enough frosting...
