But it\u2019s nearly impossible to eat at the chain without ordering a Frosty. Thankfully, Wendy\u2019s has also rolled out a newflavorto round out the seasonal lineup.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">For anyone not deeply familiar with Wendy\u2019s lore, the Frosty has been a fixture on the menu since the chain\u2019s first location opened in 1969. But for most of its history, it has been available only in one flavor: chocolate. In fact, until 2024, Wendy\u2019s had introduced only four additional Frosty flavors, starting with vanilla in 2006.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">More recently, though, we\u2019ve entered something of a Frosty-ssaince, with the chain rolling out limited-time flavors like Orange Creamsicle, Triple Berry, and even a SpongeBob-themed Pineapple Frosty. Some of the recent innovations came last year with the addition of Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions. The former adds a swirl of sauce along the inside of the cup, while the latter also includes mix-ins that get blended in before serving.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"large\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-large embed css-13f5bxj e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-1k29q50 e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Frozen dessert beverage in a branded cup\" title=\"Frozen dessert beverage in a branded cup\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"5712\" height=\"4284\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=768:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/5e0af0e0-7487-4682-9606-fcd42594fbd5.jpeg?crop=0.616xw:0.822xh;0.193xw,0.123xh&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-l4pefh e1geg53v2\">Gabby Romero<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The newest addition to that lineup is the Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion. It combines your choice of Frosty base\u2014chocolate, vanilla, or the classic twist of both\u2014with cookie dough pieces and brownie batter sauce. To find out whether it deserves a spot in the Frosty Hall of Fame, I tried it for myself.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">I went with a vanilla base so I&#8217;d have a blank slate for the mix-ins. This flavor uses the Wendy\u2019s year-round brownie batter sauce, which has the richness of chocolate syrup but with a satisfyingly gritty texture. It\u2019s very similar to the sauce used in the chain\u2019s seasonal Thin Mint Frosty, just minus the mint.<\/p>\n<div data-embed=\"composite\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-24\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed css-0 e17cny3g2\">\n<div class=\"css-1yt7om e17cny3g0\">\n<div class=\"size-medium css-103j9yb e17cny3g1\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-4aolxf e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-1k29q50 e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Beverage with foam and toppings in a clear cup.\" title=\"Beverage with foam and toppings in a clear cup.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"5712\" height=\"4284\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/eb636579-e4a8-4ea0-b54f-a25077d55031.jpeg?crop=0.626xw:0.834xh;0.177xw,0.08xh&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-l4pefh e1geg53v2\">Gabby Romero<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"size-medium css-103j9yb e17cny3g1\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-4aolxf e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-1k29q50 e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Spoon with a creamy substance\" title=\"Spoon with a creamy substance\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4284\" height=\"5712\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/2191714e-80bd-4c63-b952-a21ad5c42bc1.jpeg?crop=0.81xw:0.608xh;0.11xw,0.242xh&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-l4pefh e1geg53v2\">Gabby Romero<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The real star of this treat, though, is definitely the cookie dough pieces.
