Starbucks Secret Menu: DunkAroos Frappuccino (ingredients, taste, variations, sizes, copycat recipe, caffeine, calories, and more information)

If DunkAroos were one of your favorite snacks, then the Starbucks DunkAroos Frappuccino will bring back good old memories and nostalgia.

One of the snacks my friends and I indulged in religiously in middle school was the DunkAroos cookies. After the Starbucks DunkAroos frappuccino, a secret menu frappuccino prepared with a crème-based frappuccino, went viral a few years ago, I was ecstatic, especially since the original cookies were discontinued in the US. I mastered the recipe almost immediately, and after tasting it, I was no longer bothered that I couldn’t have DunkAroos cookies anymore.
