"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" is in theaters and if you can't get enough of dinosaurs, Universal Orlando Resorts have a few sweet dino-themed treats for fans to coincide with the movie's release.
INSIDER tried all three "Jurassic World"-themed treats during a recent visit to Universal Orlando. While the first two desserts are sugar cookies, it's the third one you'll especially want to seek out.
Executive sous chef Robert Martinez, Jr. told INSIDER via email it took about a month to come up with the "Jurassic" themed items. The trio of treats will be available at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure park through the end of July to celebrate the film's release.
Here are the three "Jurassic World"-themed treats you can find around Universal's Islands of Adventure.
1. Dinosaur Track cookies
Price: $3.29
Where to find it: Pizza Predattoria
If you're looking for a simple dino-themed cookie that's light but has a flair for the jurassic era, then you may want a dino track cookie.
If you want to get the perfect photo, we recommend heading to the bottom floor of the Jurassic Park Discovery Center located at the heart of Universal's Islands of Adventure. There are several dinosaur exhibits for kids. But it's the rock wall that serves as an especially good background for the dino tracks.
2. The "Jurassic Park" logo cookie
Price: $3.29
Where to find it: Pizza Predattoria
"We wanted incorporate the raptor since Blue is such a big part of the 'Jurassic World' franchise but also keep familiar elements of the T. Rex logo for the old school fans of Jurassic Park," said Martinez, Jr.
The icing around the edges is sweet, but not overwhelming. This was our favorite out of the two sugar cookies because of the iconic T. Rex logo at the center. The little hint of Owen's raptor blue makes it a perfect marriage between the old and newer franchise.
3. The Raptor Egg
Price: $7.45
Where to find it: Burger Digs and Thunder Falls Terrace
If you want to take a photo of this treat as soon as you see it, that's what the team was hoping for. Martinez, Jr. said this was made specifically for fans to post on social media.
"The raptor egg was something that was really fun and just made for a tasty Instagram picture," he said.
This item in particular proved to be a bit more challenging than the other two desserts.
"It has a few challenging pieces as the chocolate eggs and raptor claws are being made and painted by hand every day."
The Raptor egg was our favorite treat of the three. It feels very much like a two-in-one dessert. There's the white chocolate egg on top with the raptor claw. Underneath both is a chocolate cake that's in a buttercream nest that's moist and not too sweet. It's also perfect for Instagram.
Where to find them
All three treats can be found in the Jurassic Park area of Universal's Islands of Adventure at the center of the park. The Dinosaur Track and logo cookies can be found at Pizza Predattoria.
On the map, it's across from the Discovery Center.
It's easiest to spot by looking for the sign of the two little dinos fighting over a slice of pizza.
Nearby, the Raptor Egg can be found at either Burger Digs or Thunder Falls Terrace.
Burger Digs is right next to the Discovery Center, which is at the very center of Islands of Adventure.
Thunder Falls Terrace can be found when you first enter the Jurassic Park area after leaving the "Skull Island: Reign of Kong" attraction.
