It’s that time of year again when the snickerdoodle snakes its flavor into snacks. Some of the first items come from Dunkin’ Donuts.

The Snickerdoodle Croissant Donut features a glazed croissant donut filled with cookie dough-flavored buttercreme. White icing drizzle and cinnamon streusel topping are also added onto the donut. The pastry has 410 calories, 19 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 320 milligrams of sodium, 54 grams of carbohydrates, 29 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

(Speaking of new snickerdoodle flavored products, Dunkin’ Donuts is now offering, at participating locations, a snickerdoodle-flavored macchiato.)

Dunkin’ Donut’s new Caramel Cheesecake Square is a square donut with a cheesecake filling and is topped with caramel icing and chocolate caramel candy cups. It has 360 calories, 19 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 360 milligrams of sodium, 43 grams of carbohydrates, 20 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

Jack is back with a new Buttery Jack and this time he stacked a double pack of onion goodness on top of it.

The Cheddar Onion Buttery Jack has a 1/4 lb signature beef patty topped with melted garlic herb butter, two slices of cheddar cheese, crispy onions, grilled onions, and a caramelized onion aioli on a gourmet signature bun. We covered the burger in August when it was a test product and had a slightly different name. The burger is available for a limited time.

The burger has 969 calories, 65 grams of fat, 27 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 144 milligrams of cholesterol, 1232 milligrams of sodium, 56 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, and 41 grams of protein.

If you live in Seattle, Washington; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; or Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, you have an opportunity to try Wendy’s Bacon Mozzarella Cheeseburger. If you don’t, and you want to try it, you’ll have to settle for something else, like a Baconator or go to McDonald’s out of spite.

The test item features a 100 percent fresh beef patty, a parmesan garlic cheese sauce, a slice of natural Mozzarella cheese, three strips of Applewood-smoked bacon, a spring mix, and red onion on a buttery garlic Brioche bun.

The cheeseburger has 610 calories, 34 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 1340 milligrams of sodium, 38 grams of carbohydrates, and 36 grams of protein.

If you live in El Paso, Texas or Springfield…Illinois…or where The Simpsons live (there are so many Springfields), you can taste test Wendy’s Crispy Chicken BLT. It comes with a breaded chicken patty, two slices of Applewood-smoked bacon, American cheese, mayonnaise, leaf lettuce, and a tomato slice.

The chicken sandwich has 440 calories, 24 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 950 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, and 20 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried one, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Popeyes’ latest limited time offering is the new Spicy Garlic Butterfly Shrimp.

According to the press release, the shrimp is, “marinated in authentic Louisiana seasonings with just the right combination of fried onions, bold garlic and cayenne.” The seafood dish is served with a buttermilk biscuit, a signature side (Cajun Fries, Red Beans and Rice, Mashed Potatoes and Cajun Gravy, Green Beans, Cole Slaw or Cajun Rice), and the chain’s new Dill Tartar Dipping Sauce.

Popeyes Spicy Garlic Butterfly Ships is available until November 29.

The chicken chain is also offering a new dessert. Their Banana Pudding Parfait features banana pudding, whipped cream, and…I have no idea what that is in the middle.

If you’ve tried either, let us know what you think of it in the comments. And if you’ve tried the Banana Pudding Parfait, please let us know what that thing is in the middle.

There have been many new Oreo varieties this year. But it doesn’t come close to all the new menu items Arby’s has pumped out this year. I’d list them all, but it might make you really hungry for sliced meat. The latest from the fast food chain that knows meats is the A.1. Special Reserve Steak Sandwich.

It comes with sliced Angus steak, natural cheddar cheese, a crispy thick-cut Steakhouse onion ring, and A.1. Special Reserve Sauce on a star cut bun. What’s so special about the A.1. Special Reserve Sauce? I have no idea, but let’s make something up. It’s made with unicorn tears instead of water.

The sandwich has 470 calories, 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1660 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 32 grams of protein.

The steak sauce seasoned sandwich is available for a limited time.
