Wendy’s Canada is welcoming the start of the spring season with a cool and creamy new offering: the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Frosty.
Created in partnership with Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the new Cinnamon Toast Crunch Frosty is a delicious cross between a bowl of cereal and a creamy Wendy's Frosty. The new drink starts with a Frosty base and then swirls in caramel sauce. The whole thing is then topped with real pieces of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal for a crunchy texture. You also have the choice of a vanilla or a chocolate Frosty base, so you can customize the drink to your preference.
The new Cinnamon Toast Crunch Frosty is available in small, medium, or large sizes, and can be found now at participating Wendy's locations across Canada for a limited time.
