The syrup mostly sticks to the side of the cup, and I can\u2019t really tell what it\u2019s supposed to taste like: It\u2019s just sweet, and the name \u201cfranken-candy\u201d doesn\u2019t offer me any clues. It does taste like candy, but I don\u2019t know what kind. Texturally, it\u2019s something like melted white chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>The popping candy is coated in a confection to keep it from popping prematurely, and I felt a need to let some of the pieces melt in my mouth so I could savor the popping qualities. If I just bite down on them, they\u2019re mildly crunchy. I can only guess that the popping is supposed to mimic the electricity Dr. Frankenstein used to bring his creature to life.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bkfrankcandysun4.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Franken-Candy Sundae soft serve\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-73040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bkfrankcandysun4.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bkfrankcandysun4.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bkfrankcandysun4.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bkfrankcandysun4.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bkfrankcandysun4.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like Dr. Frankenstein, Burger King has simply stitched together preexisting ingredients to create something new.
