The baked good is available through April 12 in all cake sizes—8”, 10”, Bundtlets, and Bundtinis—and is baked with real banana purée, made with Mini Nilla Wafers, and drizzled with vanilla pudding.

The brand aims to help set the pita bread producer apart in a category often dominated by more traditional offerings.

The new flavors are currently available for retailers to order and are planned to be on shelves nationwide this September.

The company has expanded availability of the bakery item, originally introduced in May 2025 as a nationwide shipping exclusive.

The products inspired by the film include cookie dough, cereal, a Mystery Box, fruit snacks, and more.

The new candy is available in Peach and Purpleberry flavors, and has only 3 g of sugar per 50 g bag.

The beef sticks, available in Original and Jalapeño Pepper, will launch this month at select U.S. retailers, further expanding PepsiCo’s growing portfolio of foods with added functional benefits.
