Oozing green cheese hot dog wrapped in pizza tree bark
This is hands down the best hot food item at Swamp Snacks! It's the perfect snack if you are hungry, and craving something savory. I really enjoyed the pizza seasoning crust. The green sleazy cheese is really yummy. The actual meat is a Nathan’s hot dog which I appreciated. When comparing it to a pretzel dog from Auntie Anne's— somewhat of similar, but it tastes more of a hot dog than the pretzel.10/10-- This will be perfect to eat during HHN nights!
Far Far A Waffle-$11.49
Ham & Cheese Far Far a Waffle
I thought this was going to be more of an actual sandwich based off the sign photos. You won't really find much fillings in this waffle. The ham and cheese are mixed into the waffle batter, and the ham is diced into small little bites. Mine did not have. a lot of ham in it. The cheese wasn't gooey at all like I had hoped. instead, it was a little was over cooked and hard. The actual waffle as a whole was very dry.2.5/10
Pepperoni Far Far a Waffle
This was pretty dry and tasteless. The marinara sauces tasted pretty fake. While this was better than the Ham and Cheese Far Far a Waffle, it was still not good.3/10Save your money and choose something else. The waffles were a big miss.Shrekzel – $12.29
This snack is “fresh” from Fiona’s kitchen! Soft Pretzel served with green cheese sauce for dipping.
The Shrekzel tastes like your normal theme park pretzel, but it's one of the better pretzel's I've had. Texture was good, warm , and easy to break off. If you like the buttery Auntie Anne pretzels, this is essentially the same thing.
The green cheeses tastes just like the normal cheese you get with soft pretzels. It's pretty good, nothing special. Comes warm.
This size makes it easily shareable. Think Mickey pretzels size. I do think this is worth trying at least once because it's such a fun looking snack.
If I had to choose between the Swamp Dog or the Shrekzel, I would 10000% go with the Swamp Dog!Chonkey Donkey Chocolate Ice Pop – $6.99
Your typical chocolate popsicle with Donkey on the front.
The chocolate taste and consistency reminds me of the old school Fudgsicle Fudge Pops and kinda like the chocolate jell-o pudding you'd eat when you were little.
Frozen Ogre Sour Apple Ice Pop – $6.99
The Frozen Ogre Sour Apple Ice Pop is light and refreshing. It’s not too too sour or too sweet at all. It has that typical sour green apple flavor like a Jolly Rancher for example.This Ice Pop is perfect for the fruity + sour-lovers.
The packaging while cute and very well themed, but it’s pretty hard to open the plastic film. The ice pop comes on a flimsy, odd shaped stick.
I actually REALLY enjoyed how this tasted, and was perfect on a really hot park day over the weekend.Just be aware— The Frozen Ogre Sour Apple Ice Pop melts extremely fast!!I opened the Shrek ice pop right away, and it was already completely melted after removing it from the plastic the first time. The Team Member’s working at the kiosk were nice enough to let me try opening 2 more. The photos you are seeing is the third attempt. Poor Shrek is sliding down the stick and his ears have melted off, ha ha. It’s delicious though, so I ended up using the stick as a spoon.8.5/10
The Chonkey Donkey Ice Pop doesn’t melt nearly as fast as the Ogre Sour Apple Ice Pop.Mud Puddle Pudding – $5.99
Chocolate pudding, cookie crumbs, cookie cake, and gummy bugs.
The layers of cookie cake were moist thanks to the chocolate pudding. There's a good amount of crushed Oreo cookies, and the gummy worm on top is soft and east to it. It's really rich, but a fun treat to eat. Cue the nostalgia. 
I did enjoy it, but I wouldn't order it again because it's not really anything special. It does remind me of the themed trifle cakes you can find in the Tribute Store dessert case. The Mud Puddle Pudding comes with a plastic shovel spoon and a resealable plastic lid. I saved the spoon to take home to Carson.7/10
