In honor of Leap Day, some frog love

Freddo frog candies. It's Leap Day, and zoos and animal organizations across the world are kicking off "Year of the Frog," which aims to highlight the impact of global warming and pollution on our amphibian friends. In honor of the cause, here's a rundown of some notable frog-themed foods (though nothing containing actual frog, that seemed a bit crass):

Freddo Frog - An Australian treat since the 1930s, this chocolate cartoon frog is made by Cadbury and comes in different flavors and fillings. Weird note: I bought an aquatic frog from the pet store when I was seventeen and named him Freddo, with no knowledge of the Australian candy connection. Guess it's just a good name for a frog. Freddo's still alive.

Haribo Frogs - the white, marshmallowy underbellies are my favorite part of these lime-flavored German gummies.

Frogaroni - frog-shaped pasta, in regular and spinach green.

Frog Cake - Little sponge cakes coated in fondant and decorated with froggy features are a specialty of the South Australian city of Adelaide.

Any other favorites?

Solid milk chocolate
Solid white chocolate
Strawberry filled milk chocolate
Mint filled milk chocolate

The caramel flavored one is actually a koala not a frog and is called a caramello koala.

Anyway, another frog themed food would be fat frog ice lolly, but i haven't seen one in ages so perhaps they are gone. Not a big ice lol fan so not sure.
