Keep in mind Wendy’s Frosty Swirls that got here out (checks notes) a month in the past?
Nicely, they’ve been whip kicked to the curb by Wendy’s crimson ponytails and changed with the upgraded Frosty Fusions. Simply kidding. These are the Frosty Swirls, that are very a lot nonetheless round, with a crunchy topping. Brownie batter will get Oreo cookie items, caramel has toffee items, and strawberry comes with strawberry Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers.
Just like the Frosty Swirls, all three can be found with both a chocolate or vanilla base. For my overview of the earlier line, I went with chocolate, so this time I made a decision to go together with vanilla.
A difficulty I had with the Caramel Frosty Swirl was how weak the caramel sauce was. Sadly, and never surprisingly, it’s nonetheless weak right here with this Frosty Fusion. However the tiny, plentiful toffee items add a little bit of candy butteriness to make up for the sauce.
Nevertheless, even with the toffee, I can confidently say this one isn’t as flavorful or excellent as the opposite two. Additionally, though I do know toffee goes to toffee, I used to be a bit aggravated by how the items caught to my tooth. Though, possibly that’s me projecting my disappointment with this dessert since I like caramel.
The Oreo Brownie Twist Frosty Fusion combines two chocolatey flavors with the brownie batter sauce and Oreo items. Not surprisingly, the cookie items improve the already scrumptious swirled sauce, and on this vanilla canvas, they each stood out.
On Wendy’s web site, the outline says, “Not gonna lie, there’s rather a lot happening right here—and all of it’s scrumptious.” Whereas I don’t imagine there’s rather a lot happening with this souped-up Frosty as a result of it’s simply three elements, all of it is vitally tasty, and the darkish cookie items add a pleasing contrasting texture.
Very like IKEA directions, I generally don’t learn product descriptions till after the very fact, and that’s what I did with the Strawberry Pop-Tarts Frosty Fusion. As a result of I didn’t look it up, I initially thought this got here topped with untoasted Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tart items. Nevertheless, I used to be pleasantly shocked after realizing it got here with Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers, which, after fascinated about it, made extra sense texture-wise than untoasted and uncrunchy Pop-Tarts.
I tasted the strawberry sauce greater than the Pop-Tarts’ filling, however didn’t thoughts that as a result of it enhanced the Pop-Tarts’ taste, making this a candy, fruity, and crunchy deal with. Very like the Strawberry Frosty Swirl was my favourite among the many three swirls, this topped deal with was the very best of the bunch.
My ideas about Wendy’s Frosty Fusions mirror what I assumed concerning the Frosty Swirls. The Strawberry one is excellent, the brownie batter one is great, and the caramel one is sweet, however on the identical time, a bit underwhelming.
