While Popeyes is known for its fried chicken, the chain is stepping up its dessert game with the debut of Double Stuf Oreo Bites. A combination of both Double Stuf Oreos and funnel cake, the new dessert is the ultimate fried food mashup.
The new Double Stuf Oreo Bites are a limited-edition treat available from October 1st until October 28th. The junk food mashup consists of Double Stuf Oreos coated in a rich funnel cake batter and then deep-fried until golden brown. The result is a chocolaty treat that has the satisfying crunch of funnel cake.
Unfortunately for Oreo lovers, the exclusive new dessert is only available through Uber Eats from Popeyes' locations in Boston.
