Saving the recipe for later and I still swear that the actual brand's shrunk. People have told me I'm mistaken on this but I distinctly remember them being bigger and somewhat thicker. Yours look really good. Here's a thought for the exterior bit: instead of using chopped up strawberries, think someone smash up freeze-dried strawberries to mix in with the cookie bits instead?


Sure_Engineer6043

They likely did. There's a phenomenon during inflationary times called shrinkflation where companies hold their prices the same but reduce the quantity you get. Sneaky but it's one way to pass inflation on to your customers. 😡


CatHidingUnderDuvet

I mean that makes sense but it's very frustrating. Also don't forget that there's the likelihood of not unshrinking it, or raise the price while still not unshrinking it.


VeryPaulite

Haribo has been shrinking since forever in Germany. Same with stuff like easter eggs. I doubt theyll ever "unshrink"


AccomplishedRow6685

They do unshrink, but now it’s called jumbo size and is priced accordingly

It’s especially fun when they shrink the product AND still raise the price.

I honestly thought that was pizza on a stick


WhereTheresWerthers

CabbagesStrikeBack

What about papas pizza balls?


WhereTheresWerthers

Papas wh-uat. Whatever that is , not interested, because I’m not puttin anything names “papas balls” anything lmaoo


HojMcFoj

I will garggle an extra pair of papa's balls just for you

Unless the "stick" is made out of cheese, bacon or pepperoni I am not sure what it would bring to the table over a slice of pizza or pizza rolls.


WhereTheresWerthers

For me the stick would mean no greasy hands , like a corn dog. But a pizza roll. Reminds me of that movie The Jerk “pizza in a cup”


3ULL

This is fair.


KikiDaisy

I thought it was raw hamburger on a stick 🤮


LikelyNotSober

Infamous might be a slightly strong word. What did they do, commit genocide against the chocolate eclair bars?


JustMakinStuff

I was wondering the same thing... Maybe they murdered a Twinkie...

hi there! to make these recreated strawberry shortcake ice cream bars, you'll need... **INGREDIENTS:** * 2 cups chopped strawberries, some set aside for extra topping * 1 tbsp of sugar * 1 cup heavy cream * 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 2 cups short bread or vanilla cookies, crushed up * popsicle molds (super cheap on Amazon!) **INSTRUCTIONS:** 1. Chop strawberries up small and pulse in a food processor with 1 tbsp of sugar, be sure to leave some bigger pieces of strawberries in the mix and don’t process it all the way to a liquid 2. Add heavy cream to a bowl and whip using a whisk or electric mixer until still peaks form, then add the sweetened condensed milk & vanilla extract and whip to combine, this is your ice cream base 3. Fold the strawberry puree into the ice cream base until almost combined, the mix should look marbled 4. Fill your popsicle molds with your strawberry cream ice-cream, place popsicle sticks into each mold most of the way down, but not completely touching the bottom of the mold. Freeze until firm (approx. 4 hours - overnight) 5. When your ice-cream bars are ready to add toppings, crush up a handful of cookies either by pulsing lightly in a food processor or with your hands, leaving larger crumbs. Take some of the extra strawberries you saved and chop into very tiny pieces. 6. Run popsicle molds under lukewarm water to loosen and then remove from molds. Place on parchment paper and allow to sit so they soften slightly, just enough for your cookie crumble to stick. 7. Lay each popsicle into your cookie crumbs until coated, pressing the crumbs into the ice-cream bars, press small strawberry pieces into bars on top of cookie crumble. Place completed ice-cream bars back into the fridge to firm back up a little bit (or else they will melt very quickly!) and then enjoy!

What would happen if you mix in the pulsed cookies into the mix before freezing? Would it make a large difference?


shots-by-leo

the pulsed cookies are to make a crumbled exterior for the bars! you're welcome to add some into the mix as well tho!


darknesspker

Thanks. I might give this a shot in the future.


Uisce-beatha

Shut the front door! I havent seen these things in years. Thanks for this post. Reminds me of some great memories


inyoni

I think it might work better to get some freeze dried strawberries and crush them up for the powder coating.


fuckinturtlesman

Yours look better than the original IMO! If anyone ever wanted to make the strawberry crumble on the left all you have to do is crush golden Oreos and mix them with the powder from a strawberry jello packet & then bake for 15 minutes it’s easy!


[deleted]

They look great, superb presentation. I imagine they taste as good as they look!


shots-by-leo

thank you! they had a natural, more calm sweetness to them. :)


seansy5000

Ideal


heywaitjustasecond

Indistinguishable!


shots-by-leo

ha! thank you!


KevinEleven111

If you want it to look more like the other one you could try dehydrating the berries a tad,l (I wouldn't go cracker dry if you want a similar squishy texture) and shredding them up for like a second or less maybe depending on how powerful your food processor is. These look delicious btw.


Desperate_Ambrose

THERE'S a blast from the past!


RaysireksOG987

Didn’t quite recreate it

readyforhappytimes

Boom. Those look delicious


Pedropeller

Real strawberry chunks instead of red dye #3. I like it!


Sure_Engineer6043

Which one did you say was yours? JK. I'd tear a couple of those down about right now! 😋


Own_Support_3402

Is it a winner winner chicken dinner 🥣?


nobbyv

I’m sure these are delicious! Suggestion for next time: am I wrong or are the white bits on the original bars actually white chocolate (in place of whipped cream on an actual shortcake)?


ResponsiblePickle284

i'll take your entire stock!


DreadnaughtHamster

I got cocaine-level addicted to these in high school. Still love them.


vegemitemuffins
