New Yogurtland Trolls Flavor, King Peppy’s Chocolate Covered Pretzel

Fro-yo girl here. The Yogurtland Trolls promotion continues with a new limited time flavor, King Peppy’s Chocolate Covered Pretzel.

The flavor card describes the flavor as, “King Peppy’s heroism and courage made him a Troll legend – and it’s no wonder! Any Troll that combines creamy milk chocolate with bits of real pretzel for a spoonful of sweet and salty goodness is a true hero in our book.” The flavor is lowfat and made with cocoa, pretzels, chocolate and salt.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel is different – in a really good, tasty way. It’s filled with tiny bits of pretzel, so it’s not as smooth but the pretzels make the yogurt thicker. The salt makes it interesting too. Milk chocolate holds it all together. If you like chocolate covered pretzels, you’ll like chocolate covered pretzel. I was ready to add chocolate covered pretzels on top but they didn’t have any more. Recommended toppings: Chocolate shell, almonds, chocolate covered pretzels

Yogurtland Pasadena is out of Branch’s Peanut Butter Caramel flavor. They ran out in less than a week. Chocolate Covered Pretzel should be a big hit too.

The next promotional flavor is Guy Diamond’s White Chocolate Peppermint (December 8), which I think is a returning flavor.

New DreamWorks Animation Trolls Inspired Flavor at Yogurtland: Cooper’s Caramel Apple

Fro-yo girl here. The Yogurtland Celebrates Trolls promotion continues with a new limited time flavor, Cooper’s Caramel Apple.

The flavor is described as “Taste one spoonful of our buttery caramel apple flavor and you’ll know why Cooper has a smile permanently plastered on his face. With the sweetness of real caramel blended with real Granny Smith apples, it’s like eating a caramel apple in every bite.” It’s lowfat and gluten free.

I’ve never had a caramel apple before (I know that I wouldn’t like it), but I can imagine what it would taste like. I also don’t like caramel as it tends to be too sweet. While I didn’t find Yogurtland’s Cooper’s Caramel Apple to be too sweet, it tasted like a mild caramel with a tiny hint of apple. I could barely taste the apple. I was expecting more of a sour-sweet flavor. The texture was smooth and creamy. Recommended toppings: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, mochi, salted caramel sauce

The next featured flavor is DJ Suki’s Cranberry Raspberry Tart, which starts swirling on November 3. I’ve had it before and it’s yummy.

New DreamWorks Animation Trolls Inspired Flavor at Yogurtland: Blueberry Mangosteen Tart

Fro-yo girl here. The Yogurtland Celebrates Trolls promotion continues with a new limited time flavor, Satin & Chenille’s Blueberry Mangosteen Tart.

The flavor is described as “The Fashion Twins know everything about up and coming trends, which is why they’re all about our super refreshing Blueberry Mangosteen Tart. It combines real blueberries with sweet and tangy mangosteen for a vitamin C-fortified treat that’s bursting with flavor.” It’s non-fat.

I don’t think I’ve had mangosteen yet, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect. But I tried Blueberry Mangosteen Tart and I really like it. It’s tangier than usual and I taste the blueberries (love blueberries) and something else – it tasted grape like to me but others describe mangosteen as tasting like strawberries, kiwis, plums, peaches, etc. I remember how much I liked the Blueberry Acai flavor at Blush Organic Frozen Yogurt. The mangosteen gives the flavor that extra punch; it’s intriguing. Recommended toppings: blueberry puree, strawberries, lychee, and mochi.

Mangosteens have high levels of anti-oxidants and are considered to be superfruit. In Asia, the mangosteen is known as the queen of fruit.

The next new flavor is Cooper’s Caramel Apple, which starts swirling on November 3.

Yogurtland Celebrates DreamWorks Trolls

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland’s new holiday promotion started today and it runs through December 21. Yogurtland Celebrates DreamWorks Trolls (a new movie) will include “ten hair-raising flavors,” limited edition Trolls cups, and 2 collectible Trolls spoons.

The promotional flavors and release dates are:

* Poppy’s White Chocolate Raspberry starting October 20

* Creek’s Butterscotch Pudding Gelato starting October 20

* Satin & Chenille’s Blueberry Mangosteen Tart starting October 27

* King Peppy’s Chocolate Covered Pretzel starting December 1

* Guy Diamond’s White Chocolate Peppermint starting December 8

* Smidge’s Cinnamon Donut Holes starting December 15

You’ll notice that not all of the flavors are brand new but most are. Also, there’s a new promotional flavor every week. Plus they started the promotion on Thursday rather than Friday. The Yogurtland staff wore Trolls blue t-shirts and visors that had tufts of troll hair - cute.

During my visit I received blue Troll spoons. I think the featured Troll is named Branch. The spoon doesn’t say and his back isn’t detailed. They had the Trolls cups and a new topping, chocolate covered pretzels.

Poppy’s White Chocolate Raspberry is described as “Poppy sings, she dances, and she’s the most insanely happy Troll of all. Duh! That’s what happens when you dig into this decadent flavor that blends real white chocolate and raspberries all in one spoonful.” It’s a lowfat flavor. The raspberry flavor is stronger than the white chocolate but the white chocolate mellows the raspberry. The raspberry isn’t tart at all. Recommended toppings: granola, raspberries, white chocolate chips.

Creek’s Butterscotch Pudding Gelato is described as, “The sweet, buttery flavor of butterscotch and the creaminess of pudding pair perfectly in this decadent gelato by Creek, so you can experience just how delicious life can be.” Their gelato has live and active cultures. The creamy flavor tastes like sweet butterscotch without being cloyingly sweet. Recommended toppings: almonds, cheesecake, graham cracker crumbs
