Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our Carl’s Jr. Hostess Ding Dong Ice Cream Sandwich review.

Carl’s Jr. has used Pop-Tarts to make an ice cream sandwich, so it’s not surprising to see the fast food chain team up with Hostess to create an ice cream sandwich that features the chocolatey, hockey puck-looking Ding Dong.

Ding Dongs are a chocolate cake with a vanilla cream filling, a thin chocolatey exterior, and a name that’s fun to say out loud. The Hostess Ding Dong Ice Cream Sandwich features a scoop of vanilla ice cream in between a Ding Dong that’s been split in half.

The dessert has 290 calories 15 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 25 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

If you’ve ever wanted all the breakfast meat Burger King offers under one bun, you now have that opportunity with their new Fully Loaded Croissan’wich. Actually, you probably could’ve done that all this time by asking to add a third meat for an extra charge to one of the Double Croissan’wiches Burger King offers.

The new breakfast sandwich features thin sliced black forest ham, a sausage patty, thick cut naturally smoked bacon, fluffy eggs, and two slices of American cheese on a toasted croissant.

The sandwich has 640 calories, 42 grams of fat, 16 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 235 milligrams of cholesterol, 1740 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, and 29 grams of protein.

Burger King’s hoagie sesame seed bun has been used with a lot of new menu items over the past year.

Last month, it was the Extra Long Cheeseburger, and last year it was used with the Yumbo and Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger.

The latest menu item to use the hoagie sesame seed bun is the Teriyaki Original Chicken Sandwich. It’s got everything you’d find with a Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich — a long breaded white meat chicken patty, chopped lettuce, mayonnaise, and toasted hoagie sesame seed bun — but it also comes with tomatoes and a teriyaki sauce. According to the Burger King website, the teriyaki sauce is sweet and savory with a hint of ginger.

The Teriyaki Original Chicken Sandwich has 580 calories, 26 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1290 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 14 grams of sugar, and 29 grams of protein.
