# Salted Caramel QSR Desserts The New Salted Caramel Frosty is Coming to Wendy's This November By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2024-10-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-frosty References: [tasteofhome](https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/wendys-salted-caramel-frosty/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DBfFBy8N4uv/)  'Tis the season for salted caramel and [Wendy's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-frosty) is embracing the signature seasonal flavor by adding a new Salted Caramel Frosty. First revealed by the [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girl-scouts-thin-mints-frosty) snack account @snackolator, the new Salted Caramel Frosty will be arriving at Wendy's restaurants this November after the brand's current [Spongebob](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-under-the-sea-frosty) promo ends. According to @snackolator, the new Frosty flavor delivers the cool and creamy texture of a classic Wendy's Frosty, but with the salty-sweet flavor profile of salted caramel. In other words, it's the perfect flavor for dipping some of Wendy's signature salty fries. Though it's unclear how long the new Salted Caramel Frosty will be sticking around, you can expect to enjoy this chilled treat throughout the holiday season.
