The Wendy's Caramel Latte Frosty is being launched by the brand in Canada to offer patrons a coffee-inspired way to satisfy their sweet tooth. The creamy frozen treat is a new take on the brand's classic Frosty that is being offered temporarily in place of the Vanilla Frosty, and features the flavor notes of coffee, caramel and vanilla. The flavor profile of the frozen treat could be well-received by consumers as a satisfying end-of-summer dessert to enjoy that gets them ready for cold weather cafe drinks but in a format that suits temperate climates.
The Wendy's Caramel Latte Frosty is available now from participating locations in Canada, but will only be around for a limited time.
