4 ICONIC Universal Orlando Snacks Are HIDING In Texas

Universal Kids Resort is Universal’s brand-new theme park in Frisco, just outside of Dallas, Texas. The park features seven lands themed after some iconic Universal movies: Shrek, SpongeBob, Minions, Trolls, and Jurassic World.

But here at Disney Food Blog, there’s one thing we care about more than the rides – the food! It’s literally in our name! We tried almost every bite at Universal Kids Resort, and we noticed that many menu items are taken directly from Universal Orlando in Florida. Here are all four Universal snacks you can find in Texas, too!

Mac & Cheese Cone

If you’re craving one of the Mac & Cheese Cones from Isle of Berk in Epic Universe, then you don’t need to go to Florida for it. Universal Kids Resort offers a Mac & Cheese Cone at Bello Bay Bites inside Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club. It’s creamy golden macaroni and cheese inside a garlic-sauce bread cone, topped with an adorable Minion tot!

The Epic Universe Mac & Cheese cones have stronger flavors, like the Pork, Bacon, and Jam Cone, or the Dragon’s Garden Pyre cone with lemon-herb chicken and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. The one at Universal Kids Resort is a lot like their plain Classic Mac & Cheese Cone, built for milder, kid-friendly palettes.

Shrekzel

The Shrekzel is an iconic snack at Universal Orlando. It’s a salted pretzel in the shape of Shrek’s face, and honestly, it gives Mickey pretzels a run for their money. We were so excited to find it in Texas!

You can find the Shrekzel at Swamp Snacks inside Shrek’s Swamp. It’s a freshly baked Shrek pretzel served with Tostitos nacho cheese sauce. The only difference is that the Universal Orlando version is served with a green ogre-colored cheese sauce, but the nacho cheese in this one wasn’t bad!

Troll Cones

At BroZone Cones in TrollsFest at Universal Kids, you can get Trolls-inspired soft serve shaped like their twisty hairstyles. You can get it in classic vanilla, chocolate, or swirl, or you can get speciality cones, like a pink lemonade Poppy-Licious Pink and a huckleberry-flavored Brozone Berry!

These are the same exact Trolls cones you can get at Trolls Treats at DreamWorks Land in Universal Orlando! The menu at Universal Kids Resort is identical, minus the Churro Sundae, which is exclusive to Florida.

Strawberry DOLE Whip

While DOLE Whip is a Disney staple, it’s also served at Universal parks nationwide. We had to stop by the iconic Goofy Goober’s in SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom to try their Goofy Goober’s sundae! The Triple Gooberberry Sunrise is made with vanilla and chocolate ice cream, strawberry DOLE Whip, chocolate fudge, crushed s’mores cookie crumbles, and strawberry Pop-Tarts pieces, whipped topping, banana, and a cherry on top!

This is pretty similar to the Strawberry S’mores Sundae at Chill Ice Cream at Islands of Adventure. It’s made with DOLE Whip strawberry sorbet, chocolate fudge, marshmallow fluff, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs. It’s perfect for chocolate strawberry lovers!
