IHOP could’ve been like other chains and come out with their own donut-croissant hybrid. But, apparently, IHOP also stands for I Have Other Plans. Instead of a donut-croissant hybrid, IHOP has created a waffle-croissant hybrid — the Criss-Croissants.

They feature croissant dough baked in a waffle iron, then they’re filled with a sweet cream, folded over, and topped with fruit. Criss-Croissants are available in two varieties. Blackberry Lemonade features a waffled croissant filled with lemonade cream and topped with blackberries. Strawberry Rhubarb is a waffled croissant filled with sweet cream cheese and covered with a strawberry rhubarb topping.

Criss-Croissants are available as part of a breakfast combo at participating IHOP restaurants until April 5.

An egg combo with a Blackberry Lemonade Criss-Croissant has 1060 calories, 55 grams of fat, 19 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 650 milligrams of cholesterol, 1110 milligrams of sodium, 111 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 45 grams of sugar, and 31 grams of protein.

An egg combo with a Strawberry Rhubarb has 1070 calories, 67 grams of fat, 26 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 685 milligrams of cholesterol, 1210 milligrams of sodium, 86 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 27 grams of sugar, and 30 grams of protein.

Remember last year’s Cheeseburger Pizza from Papa John’s? It’s back, but this time it has bacon.

Papa John’s Bacon Cheeseburger pizza comes with 100 percent real beef and mozzarella cheese, Roma tomatoes, hickory-smoked bacon, dill pickle slices, and a zesty burger sauce all on a fresh hand tossed crust.

One slice from a large Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza has 380 calories, 20 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 950 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.

Papa John’s is also offering the new Double Chocolate Chip Brownie. It’s baked fresh, cut into 9 squares, and served warm in an 8-inch pan.

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

Tired of tartar sauce?

You can now get a Jack in the Box Fish Sandwich with Jack’s spicy sriracha sauce, which wasn’t very spicy in Jack’s Grande Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Along with the sriracha sauce, the sandwich also features a crispy Alaska Pollock white fish filet and shredded lettuce on a lightly toasted bun.

A Jack in the Box Sriracha Fish Sandwich has 369 calories, 14 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 27 milligrams of cholesterol, 886 milligrams of sodium, 45 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 17 grams of protein.
