Sweetened QSR Pretzel Desserts

The Sonic Sweet Pretzel Twist is a New Take on a Classic Snack

The Sonic Sweet Pretzel Twist has been announced as the QSR brands latest snack dessert that maintains a somewhat sweet and savory taste profile. Available at participating locations nationwide, the snack is made with a soft, golden-brown pretzel twist that has been buttered and covered with a dusting of cinnamon sugar. The treat comes with a side of cream cheese frosting to add a touch of creaminess to the indulgent soft pretzel snack.

The Sonic Sweet Pretzel Twist has a price point of $1.99 that is the same as the Soft Pretzel Twist option presently on the menu and is part of the market-wide shift towards more convenient snack options that can be eaten on-the-go.
