The name Dunkaroos is indicative of their kangaroo like shape, and their property that they can be dunked in to some syrup or cream.

The pack contained the kangaroo shaped cookies and a separate part of the tray contained frosting to dunk the cookies in. the kangaroo shape especially attracted the children who were otherwise not so eager to cookies. Dunkaroos later came in many other shapes also like bicycle and balloon shaped ones. The sauces to dunk the cookies also have different varieties to choose from like vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon flavored.
