Picture it. 1999. Walking into the gates at Universal Studios Orlando. You run to the Back to the Future ride then hit up E.T. before the afternoon crowds rush in. Now it\u2019s lunchtime and you have no idea what to eat. Back then, the best snacks you could find were funnel cakes and french fries, so you settle for that. But hey, at least you had 80s nostalgia movie rides and Fievel Goes West playground! Flash forward 11 years and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has its grand opening. Harry Potter fans can now experience what it’s like to go to a real-life Hogwarts and they cry tears of joy into their real-life Butterbeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the opening of Harry Potter land, Universal introduced a slew of incredible entertainment and attractions for grown-up Wizards everywhere. Don’t believe me? Check out this article including 12 Awesome Things to Do for Adults at Universal Studios<\/a>. The real miracle is they totally overturned their reputation for mediocre food. Some snacks are decadent, some are savory, and some are literally on fire.<\/a> And now that we have all these options, we still have no idea where to go because there\u2019s too many of them! What a delicious problem we have on our hands! As a fan of Harry Potter treats and Simpsons branded Duff Beer, I\u2019ve done a lot of \u201cresearch\u201d on Universal food so I\u2019m here to help narrow down your choices. The snacks I\u2019ve highlighted are either crowd-favorites or underrated treats that deserve more love than they get. Your insider guide to heavenly Universal snacks is here for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, enough gabbing more snacking! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Velvet Milkshake
<\/strong>Toothsome Chocolate Emporium<\/strong><\/em> & Savory Feast Kitchen<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Any milkshake from Toothsome is totally worth it, but the Red Velvet Milkshake has rocked the world of many. This vanilla milkshake is drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a huge red velvet cupcake. The Brookie Sundae is also super good and an upgraded version of the classic snack that was once available at the Beverly Hills Boulangerie. Now that the Boulangerie is closed, Toothsome is the only place you can get the Brookie. This sundae comes with a cookie baked inside a brownie then piled high with ice cream and chocolate toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best part? Toothsome is located inside Universal CityWalk<\/a> which has free entry. You don\u2019t have to buy a ticket into Universal to enjoy these decadent masterpieces! Even better, CityWalk parking is free after 6:00 PM. It\u2019s also free if you arrive between 11:00 AM-6:00 PM and buy two matinee movie tickets from Universal Cinemark<\/a>. Movies and dessert? Yes, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frozen Butterbeer

How do you take your Butterbeer? Frozen? Cold? Hot? This is the great debate of Universal Studios enthusiasts worldwide. Butterbeer is a drink inspired by the beverage from the Harry Potter books. At Universal, it\u2019s a non-alcoholic mix of cream soda and butterscotch. And it\u2019s super yummy. I may be overstepping my bounds, but I believe the frozen option is the best way to order your Butterbeer for most times of the year. When it\u2019s hot, crowded, and muggy the only the thing to satisfy your thirst is a cold and blended Butterbeer. The cold option is also good, but I find that it warms up too quickly when you’re puttering around Hogsmeade. And the hot version? Maybe if you get there early in the morning or visit during the month and a half that Florida has cooler weather. Otherwise, you\u2019re better off recreating the hot version at home<\/a>. It’s a super cozy treat during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finnegan\u2019s Potato & Onion Webb
<\/strong>Finnegan’s Bar & Grill<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the only savory snack on my list because it\u2019s completely underrated and not mentioned on most snack lists. It\u2019s featured on the appetizer list at the sit-down restaurant Finnegan\u2019s and it\u2019s totally worth stopping in for. You get a huge pile of fried onion strings and sliced potatoes served with malt vinegar.  It\u2019s a hefty, tangled brick of fried greatness. You can easily share this with one or two people. Finnegan\u2019s also features coffee cocktails like Bailey’s n Coffee<\/a>. It\u2019s a great place to stop in for a pint and a break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brain Freezin\u2019 D\u2019oh-Nut Sundae
<\/strong>Lard Lad Donuts<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Big Pink<\/a> donut from Lard Lads is a novelty doughnut solely created so you can #doitforthegram and post a picture of it on the internet. It really is just a big pink doughnut and there\u2019s nothing too special about it. Don\u2019t get me wrong. I love a beautiful piece of food that\u2019s been created only to provide divine beauty and be shared among your friends on Instagram. But if you\u2019re actually going to enjoy<\/em> The Big Pink then do it right with the D\u2019oh-Nut Sundae. The sundae comes with the Big Pink Donut topped with ice cream, whipped cream, a cherry, and your choice of topping. It takes your giant doughnut and upgrades it about 3 times.<\/p>\n\n\n
