About Aster
Aster may be small, but she’s got a blast of energy! Zooming through the skies and zipping around the prehistoric planets, Aster is always on the lookout for her next great adventure—and her next chocolatey snack.
She crash-landed in the Dino-Mite Valley during a midnight meteor shower, bringing with her a trail of cosmic crumbs and her signature fudge topped with crunchy chocolate rocks. Now she’s part of the gang, always racing around, stirring up excitement, and sharing sweet treats wherever she goes.
His favourite thing (besides fudge) is making people smile. Whether he’s juggling licorice allsorts or fluffing up his marshmallow mohawk, Frank believes life should be just as fun and flavourful as his fudge!
Frank may look like a walking dessert tray, but he’s also a loyal friend—and always has a sweet surprise hidden in his stash.
