Creative ice cream brand Frosty Fun serves up unconventional experiences with ice cream, like the [Frosty Burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosty-frights-kids-meal), a sweet, cool, frozen product that sandwiches crispy chicken-flavored ice cream between real hamburger buns. Unlike most frozen snacks, this novelty one is meant to be microwaved for a few seconds before serving. Thanks to its layered flavors and textures, this Frosty Fun snack, sold in a fast food-style box, calls out its top sensorial qualities: [crunchy, fried and frosted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/branded-frozen-treat).

Around the world, [savory ice creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-herb-ice-cream) are becoming more prevalent as adventurous snackers look for bold, unexpected flavor experiences that go beyond go-to choices like chocolate and vanilla, reflecting a broader shift toward tastes that are more complex than sweet or salty.
