When it came to KFC bowls, you were guaranteed the KFC trifecta of mashed potatoes, gravy, and, of course, fried chicken. But KFC’s new Chicken & Rice Bowls have broken away from that.

KFC’s Chicken & Rice Bowls are available in two varieties. Sweet n’ Spicy BBQ features hand pulled honey BBQ chicken, cheese, green onions, and rice. Zesty Tex Mex has crispy chicken, pico de gallo, cheese, green onions, and rice. The Chicken & Rice Bowls are also available as KFC’s $5 Fill Ups which include a chocolate chip cookie and medium beverage.

KFC’s Chicken & Rice Bowls look healthier than anything else KFC has offered in a bowl before, but are they? I can’t prove anything since there’s no nutritional info on the KFC website.

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

Krispy Kreme has three new campfire-inspired doughnuts.

The S’mores Doughnut is a yeast doughnut filled with a toasted marshmallow Kreme filling that’s dipped in milk chocolate and topped with graham cracker crumbles, chocolate chips, and a white icing drizzle.

Krispy Kreme’s Oreo Dirt Cake Doughnut, which doesn’t make me think of campfires, is a yeast doughnut stuffed with Kreme filling and Oreo cookies crumbles, dipped in milk chocolate, and topped with more Oreo cookie crumbles and a gummy candy worm.

Finally, there’s the Honey Bee Doughnut, which also doesn’t make me think of campfires since bees don’t work at night. It’s a glazed yeast ring, dipped in yellow icing with a candy sugar piece honey bee.

All three are available now through May 17, while supplies last.

The Oreo Dirt Cake Doughnut has 420 calories, 22 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 190 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 28 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein. The S’mores Doughnut has 410 calories, 21 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 210 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 28 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

Are you one of those folks who think Dunkin’ Donuts’ Big N’ Toasted, Wake-Up Wrap, and Breakfast Flatbread could use a little flavor?

Well, my friends with the tired taste buds, that might happen because Dunkin’ Donuts is testing the three breakfast sandwiches with a Buffalo sauce. Impulsive Buy reader Rebecca emailed us this photo taken inside a Dunkin’ Donuts location in Albany, NY.

There isn’t any information about the Buffalo sauced sandwiches on the Dunkin’ Donuts website, but if you see them at a location near you, let us know where in the comments.

Around this time last year, Jack in the Box introduced Jack’s Blazin’ Chicken Sandwich with Ghost Pepper Ranch Sauce. It was blazin’, but not because of the Ghost Pepper Ranch Sauce. This year, it’s back and it brought along a bacon brother.

The Jack in the Box Jack’s Bacon Blazin’ Chicken Sandwich has the same Jack’s Spicy Chicken patty, grilled onions, sliced jalapeños, Swiss-style cheese, toasted bun, and Ghost Pepper Ranch Sauce as the Original version, but has hickory smoked bacon slices instead of lettuce and tomatoes.

The spicy sandwich has 691 calories, 301 calories from fat, 33 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 80 milligrams of cholesterol, 1438 milligrams of sodium, 62 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 36 grams of protein.

Whataburger has a new Whatachickensandwich, which is not Whattheycalltheirchickensandwiches.

The Honey Mustard Whatachick’n Club features the same breaded 100 percent chicken breast, lettuce, and tomatoes found on the original Whatachick’n Sandwich, but is also topped with bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and Whataburger’s tangy honey mustard sauce all on a white bun. The sandwich is available for a limited time.

The Whataburger Honey Mustard Whatachick’n Club has 850 calories, 43 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 85 milligrams of sodium, 1690 milligrams of sodium, 84 grams of carbohydrates, 19 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fiber, and 33 grams of protein.
