Hey Matt I have found a way although obscenely time consuming to recreate the magical experience of oatmeal swirlers. to do so one must take their favorite jelly microwave it for 20-30 seconds, until its a liquidy goo but not a piping hot runny slime, than simply poor into a ziplock bag, squish the air out, seal and cut a tiny hole in the corner to act as the tear slit, and bida bing oatmeal swirlers live again, and for choclate simply use your fav choc syrup

What about a fruit glaze? It is just sugar and juice, so it seems like the taste would be similar…

UGH! The picture of melting the fruit roll up made me want to puke. Get over it, man, the 90s are over.

The comment about the cake icing gel stuff sounds like it would look like the oatmeal swirlers goo, but that stuff doesn’t have any flavor. It would probably also be easier to draw with in the little squeeze tube it comes in, more so than squeezing a packet. Some places that sell cake decorating and candy supplies sell this flavoring oil made my LorAnn (or something). They have all kinds of flavors. A drop of that will add the fake fruity flavor you’re missing out on. The flavoring comes in a tiny little bottle, but don’t let the size fool you, that stuff is bangin.

Perhaps instead of melted fruit rollups, you’d be better off using that icing gel for cakes and cookies?

Actually, if you wanted to melt down fruit roll-ups, I would bet an amount of money that Everclear would do it. I’ve melted a few fruit products into it, and produced from a pretty close facsimile of fruit goo,(which I decided needed a bit more everclear,) to fruit flavored shots. And, I bet it would make eating the oatmeal a hell of a lot more fun!

Oh, sweet! I love regular oatmeal, but I never forgot Oatmeal Swirlers. You’re right, the steaming hot oatmeal did melt your creations — the bowl in the commercial must’ve been ice cold.

Now if you could only find the Fruit Slush commercial, I’d jump for joy.
