Grape Cupcakes with Banana Icing and WONKA™ Peel-a-Pop™ Frozen Treats Review
I received coupons for free product for review purposes. All opinions and text are 100% my own.
I’m the kind of person who explores the grocery store aisles for new food items when I go grocery shopping. I love finding new products that make my life easier … and I especially love finding fun novelty items! Awesome flavored cookies, weird potato chips flavors, mix-ins for baking, innovative ice cream products …. you name it! You can almost bet that I buy them to try at least once!
On a recent shopping trip, I spotted these WONKA™ Peel-a-Pop™ frozen treats. Upon further inspection, I realized that you could actually peel these treats like a banana! Say what?! No kidding – they actually peel like a banana!! How fun and cool is that?! And …. you can eat the peel too!!! Behind that peel is a vanilla flavored dessert! These babies are only 70 calories per pop too – making it a guilt-free treat for the kid in all of us! 🙂
The kids agreed
My kiddos especially loved the grape flavor and I actually preferred the banana flavor. Both were great and so much fun! They were the perfect treat on a hot Summer day … and now that we’re back to school and the weather is still Summer-like here in Phoenix, it made a nice after-school snack too! We’ll be picking up some more WONKA™ Peel-a-Pop™ frozen treats on our next trip!
You can find WONKA™ Peel-a-Pop™ frozen treats nationwide at Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway and Kroger stores at a suggested retail price of $4.29 per 8-bar carton.
I thought it would be fun to wonkafy one of my favorite treats – cupcakes!! So, taking the inspiration from the WONKA™ Peel-a-Pop™ Frozen Treats, I created these Grape Cupcakes with Banana Icing – two flavors from the frozen treats and two flavors my kiddos love, but I never thought about combining!
Then I went over and followed Wonka on Facebook and Wonka on Twitter so I can stay up to date on the latest WONKA™ news and special offers! You can follow them too! 🙂
Now about those crazy delish cupcakes ….
