Purchase Minions & Monsters Themed Treats Around Pittsburgh
Wendy’s Minions & Monsters Meal
Currently at Wendy’s you can pick up their Minions & Monsters Meal for kids or adults ahead of the movie. The kids meal comes with one of six themed Kids’ Meal toys but there’s an option for parents too. The adult meal comes with a Big Bacon Classic® or a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, fries, a Banana Frosty Swirl (in chocolate or vanilla), and an exclusive Minions & Monsters collectible figure. There are a total of four figures to collect, so test your luck and see if you can rack up the whole set. Plus they have a Pineapple Minion MischieFizz and Goomi’s Glimey Lime as yellow and green drink options.
Oakmont Bakery’s Cupcakes and Smiley Cookies
Homemade and with a fluffy-textured recipe, Oakmont Bakery’s sweets are a must for the kiddos. Pick up a six-pack of yellow cupcakes along with a few yellow smiley cookies for a bright and colorful addition.
Paris Baguette’s Lemon Macarons
The perfectly crunchy Lemon Macarons from Paris Baguette are gorgeous in color and big in flavor. Grab a few of these small round treats, pipe on a few black eyeballs and goggles and before you know it, you have mini Minions to eat at home.
Minions Toys From Target
You can’t go wrong surprising your kids with a Minions toy from Target. We opted for the movie sets that feature small Minion figures in costumes fighting the green aliens from the new movie. But, there are plenty of other choices too, like a Despicable Me 4 Ultimate Fart Blaster that’ll have any kid laughing for hours on end.
