Chocolate-Dipped Pancake Bites

Denny's Created 'Chocolats du Diner' Valentine's Day Truffles

— February 18, 2019 — Marketing
Early into the year, Denny's added to its menu with Blueberry Pancake Puppies, or bite-sized pancake balls, and for Valentine's Day it offered up its own unique take on Valentine's Day truffles. With its 'Chocolats du Diner,' Denny's created a convenient way for people to enjoy its pancakes and syrup in a chocolate shell.

While the Decadent White Chocolate-Coated Pancake Truffle put a fun new spin on a Denny's classic, the Creamy Milk Chocolate & Syrup Truffle combined intense flavors with a smooth texture. For the romantic holiday, a limited amount of the gift-wrapped chocolate-dipped pancake bites were made available exclusively on Twitter to those who shared the love on social media using the #BeMyValendine hashtag.

These decadent pancake bites offered a fun way to treat breakfast lovers to something different than a classic heart-shaped pancake.
