Of all the go-to fast food restaurants, Wendy’s has completely dominated the ice cream market with its iconic Frostys. Though deceptively simple, these delicious ice cream treats are an easy sweet addition to any meal. Now, the new Wendy’s Frosty Swirls and Fusions are set to completely innovate the idea of what a Frosty can be.
What are the new Wendy’s Frosty flavors?
Wendy’s has been experimenting beyond the basic Chocolate and Vanilla flavors a ton in the past couple of years, introducing everything from Triple Berry to Thin Mints Frostys. Whether it’s Orange Dreamsicle for spring or Pumpkin Spice for fall, new Frosty flavor drops at the top of every season are always thrilling for customers. But this time, Wendy’s has announced something much bigger than a simple new flavor — instead announcing a whole new way to Frosty. Over the next month, Wendy’s is releasing two completely new lines of the iconic Frosty: Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions.
What are the new Wendy’s Frosty Swirls?
Starting on Friday, April 11, Frosty fans can add a swirl of flavor to any of its Frostys through the Wendy’s app. These new swirls are flavored sauces mixed into Wendy’s signature chocolate or vanilla Frosty base. The debut offerings at this point are Strawberry, Caramel, and Brownie Batter, meaning the options are almost endless. Chocolate-covered strawberry with a chocolate base and strawberry swirl? Brownie a la mode by combining brownie batter sauce with a vanilla Frosty? Sign me up.
While strawberry and caramel are both variations on flavors that have been released before in the dessert, Brownie Batter is a completely new option. This flavoring is also less potent than a Frosty that is entirely strawberry-flavored, creating more of a sundae feel.
When will the new Wendy’s Frosty Swirls be available?
The new Wendy’s Frosty Swirls will be available in-stores nationwide soon after the digital release, starting April 15. While exact prices for the Frosty Swirls haven’t been released yet, they will most likely retail for a similar price to the Thin Mints Frosty, which also has a signature chocolate and mint cookie swirl. This limited edition Frosty was only available in small, medium, and large sizes, for $2.99, $3.69 and $4.09, respectively.
What are the new Wendy’s Frosty Fusions?
With Frosty Swirls ready to revolutionize the Frosty, the incoming Frosty Fusions completely flip the treat on its head. These new Frosty Fusions allow customers to add not just a sauce to their ice cream, but also different types of topping pieces — including pieces of iconic treats and snack foods. Like the Thin Mints Frosty, these sweet treats partner with many existing brands to add onto your choice of a vanilla or chocolate foundation.
The Strawberry Pop-Tarts Frosty Fusion includes strawberry Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers, as well as drizzles of strawberry sauce. The Oreo Brownie option includes the brownie batter sauce, as well as Oreo pieces. Lastly, the Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion mixes caramel and toffee chunks. This formula seems to mimic the McDonald’s McFlurry, offering a slew of customizable add-ins, but with a signature Wendy’s Frosty instead of McD’s soft serve.
When will the new Wendy’s Frosty Fusions be available?
These Fusions are still being perfected, not available in stores until May 12. While the prices and sizing are also not confirmed yet, these Frosties could be similar to the Swirls. For now, be sure to keep your Wendy’s apps open to try the Frosty Swirls as soon as they drop.
