The mastermind behind the cronut, Dominique Ansel, has unveiled his latest dessert creation: the peanut butter pretzel lobster tails. Although the shape can easily be construed as something a lot less innocent, it is this ambiguity as well as the unusal recipe that will have people lining up around the corner as they did for the croissant-donut hybrid.
The peanut butter pretzel lobster tail "are filled with gooey peanut butter and are served with whipped brown butter and honey," according to Design Taxi. Although the shape of the peanut butter pretzel lobster tail is meant as an homage to an Italian dessert, it is undeniable that more people will be interpreting it as a generous penis.
