Funnel cake has always been a carnival staple and now you can enjoy the sweet taste of fried batter anytime in the form of Burger King's new Funnel Cake Fries. In short, it's like a little taste of summer in the middle of January.
Just as the name suggests, Burger King's Funnel Cake Fries take sweet funnel cake batter and turn it into perfect French-fry shaped pieces. The hot and crispy dough sticks are then topped off with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. The result is a shareable dessert that almost looks like a regular batch of French fries covered in a dusting of salt.
If you're looking to get your hands on this new dessert option, Funnel Cake Fries will be available for a limited time at Burger King locations from January 24 onward.
