Fro-yo girl here. It’s early August and I just had some Pumpkin Pie froyo at Yogurtland. Pumpkin pie froyo is back and it’s one of Yogurtland’s fall froyo flavors. The fall flavors are Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Swirl (Pumpkin Pie + Cheesecake), Salted Caramel froyo (returning favorite), and S’mores froyo.
Yogurtland calls S’mores froyo brand new but I remember having it in 2014 (and I have photographic evidence) during the Outdoor Adventure promo. They even had a S’mores mix topping. Back in 2014, I wrote, “S’mores frozen yogurt “combines toasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.” It’s a mellow, creamy flavor that tastes like milk chocolate marshmallows.” Maybe they changed the flavor but I tried it again and it still tasted like a creamy, mild chocolate marshmallow. I couldn’t taste the graham crackers. Recommended toppings: Golden Grahams, chocolate chips, whipped cream. The seasonal flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.
There was a new seasonal topping, Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites. The bites were chewy and tasted a bit like chocolate cookies. They were somewhat bland and not as creamy as I expected.
I found the new Fall YL sticker sheets. The stickers include pumpkins, a campfire, froyo cup, froyo spoon, a school bus, backpack, crayons, a gummy bear, and Yogurtland logo. The sticker sheets are free.
Save the date for two promotions. On August 20, guests who buy a cup of s’mores froyo online get one free of equal or lesser value. The offer is an online exclusive for purchases made on the Yogurtland website or app. Use code SMORES24 at checkout. For National Dog Day on August 26, guests who make a minimum $15 in-store purchase at participating locations will receive one free dog bandana. The offer is not valid with any other offer or promotion and excludes catering, third party delivery, gift cards, and online orders.

Vegan Wild Cherry Sorbet with a Touch of Lime: It was icier and not super smooth, but I enjoyed the flavor and texture as it reminded me of a Slurpee or Icee. The lime added a little tang but the cherry flavor was much stronger. Vegan Wild Cherry Sorbet with a Touch of Lime is gluten-free and is made with no artificial flavors or high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: Raspberries, Skittles, and gummy bears.
S’mores froyo made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate is labeled as new on the Menchie’s website but they introduced that flavor back in 2019. Maybe they tweaked it? Anyway, I did like it because the marshmallow and chocolate flavors were mild and it didn’t seem super sweet. The texture was smooth and creamy. Recommended toppings: Nilla Wafers, Hershey’s Kisses, graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream.
I noticed they had Swedish Fish available at the toppings bar. I’ll have to try Fruity Candy Sorbet made with Swedish Fish later.
FYI, Menchie’s is partnering with the Disney Channel to promote Disney’s new movie, Spin!, which premieres on August 13. On August 13, the first 50 guests in line at 3 PM will get 5 oz of free froyo.

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has three new feature flavors for June and a new limited-edition cup design. The collectible cup features Peppa Pig and a few of her friends. Peppa Pig is holding a cone of cotton candy, which is appropriate since Menchie’s created the Cotton Candy frozen yogurt for her. There’s also a new topping, cotton candy fizzies.
Who is Peppa Pig? I only found out about her last year. She’s the star of a British animated series that debuted in 2004.
* Peppa Pig’s Cotton Candy froyo: I was pleasantly surprised by this flavor. I don’t like cotton candy since it just tastes like sugar. Cotton Candy froyo is better than cotton candy because the yogurt mutes the cloying sweetness of cotton candy. And this flavor is nonfat, gluten-free, and contains no artificial colors or flavors. Recommended toppings: Sprinkles, Circus Animal Cookies, white chocolate chips
Last year was the year of Jolly Rancher flavored sorbets. This year, it’s Sour Patch Kids turn. First Orange Leaf came out with dairy-free Sour Raspberry. Menchie’s Blue Raspberry sorbet is made with Sour Patch Kids flavor. I’ve always loved Sour Patch Kids, but a big part of why I love them is the chewiness of the candy. That’s not present in a sorbet.
* Blue Raspberry sorbet: It was certainly sour and tangy in a Sour Patch Kids way. The bright blue color was scary, though I would have loved it as a child. The sorbet is nonfat, dairy-free, gluten-free. Recommended toppings: Fresh fruit and popping boba.
The third flavor is S’mores frozen yogurt made with Hershey’s milk chocolate and real graham cracker crumbs. I’m not a fan of s’mores because they’re gooey.
* S’mores froyo: S'mores was creamy and tasted like milk chocolate, maybe with marshmallow. I could not taste the graham cracker crumbs. S’mores froyo contains no artificial flavors or colors and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommend toppings: Chocolate shell, Nilla wafers, chocolate chips.
Menchie’s is also sponsoring a sweepstakes. The grand prize is a trip for 4 to Hersheypark & Hershey’s Chocolate World. I think you’re automatically entered when you used your Mysmileage account at Menchie’s.

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland's Ultimate Summer promotion continues with Outdoor Adventure-inspired flavors and new collectible shimmery hunter green spoons. Think good times in the forest: picking wild berries, sitting around a campfire making s’mores and the scent of the forest.
* S’mores frozen yogurt “combines toasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.” It’s a mellow, creamy flavor that tastes like milk chocolate marshmallows. I didn’t taste the graham crackers but you can always add graham cracker crumbs or the new S’mores Mix, featuring Teddy Grahams and mini chocolate covered marshmallows. Other suggested toppings: creamy cheesecake, cookie dough, chocolate sauce
* Wild berry tart “blends raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.” I love a good fruity tart froyo and this one delivers plenty of berry flavor. I could taste the blackberries and raspberries more than the blueberries. It’s tangy with a sweet finish. The yogurt was firm and not icy, but more refreshing than the non-tart flavors. It reminded me of berry sherbet. Suggested toppings: berries, graham cracker crust, mochi
These flavors are available for a limited time only so try them before it’s too late.
Remember to collect your Hot Spot icons with your Real Rewards app. Earn free froyo with every 3rd visit during the Ultimate Summer promotion.
Look for 2 new flavors and a new spoon on September 1.
