You Might Remember This Betty Crocker Party Frosting If You Grew Up In The '80s And '90s - Tasting Table

"Party Frosting, the ultimate birthday cake topper, was introduced by Betty Crocker in 1989. It came in standard flavors like chocolate and vanilla, but what made it extra special were the animal candy bits that could be mixed in or sprinkled on top. Some jars featured an assortment of tiny teddy bears, and others contained mini dinosaurs, all in an array of pastel colors."

"As smooth frosting swirls across the screen and those sprinkle creatures make their debut, a sing-song jingle plays: "I think your dinosaurs are wild and I love your teddy bears. How could I resist you? You sweet talker, Betty Crocker." Sadly, Party Frosting eventually went the way of the dinosaurs - extinct. Not all Party Frosting jars came with tiny animals. There was another variant that featured colorful chocolate chips - a version that might actually be more familiar to many of us."

Betty Crocker has offered classic frostings like creamy white, Hershey's chocolate, cherry, and coconut pecan since 1921. Party Frosting launched in 1989 as a birthday-focused frosting available in chocolate and vanilla with distinctive animal candy bits—tiny pastel teddy bears and mini dinosaurs—that could be mixed in or sprinkled on cakes. A sing-song commercial jingle accompanied the product. Party Frosting was later discontinued. A variant with colorful chocolate chips closely resembled the older Rainbow Chip Frosting that debuted in the mid-1980s. Rainbow Chip remains evident on current Betty Crocker listings while Party Frosting is largely absent from contemporary product pages.
