## Story

DUBLIN, Ohio, Nov. 12, 2024 // PRNewswire // -- For 55 years, Wendy's iconic Frosty® has captured the hearts and tastebuds of Wendy's® fans with its creamy texture and satisfying sweetness. To celebrate this milestone, participating Wendy's restaurants nationwide are serving the newest seasonal Frosty flavor, Salted Caramel Frosty, beginning Tuesday, November 12.* Featuring notes of rich, salty caramel, this limited-time flavor is cool and cozy in every bite.

Fans can pair the Salted Caramel Frosty with two new fall menu items at Wendy's: Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger and fresh take on the beloved Taco Salad. Available for a limited time only, the Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger features savory roasted mushrooms, crispy bacon, Muenster cheese, and creamy garlic spread atop Wendy's fresh, never frozen beef**. The fan-favorite Taco Salad will include a new creamy, zesty salsa dressing; fire-roasted corn; crispy tortilla strips; and of course, Wendy's famous Chili.

"Wendy's fall menu items were crafted to bring both comfort and joy to our customers, tapping into the flavors they crave as temperatures drop," said John Li, Wendy's Vice President of Culinary Innovation. "From the sweetness of Salted Caramel with our famous Frosty to the savory richness of Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger and zesty Taco Salad, we're launching new menu items with depth and variety for every fan."

Fans can fallinto this tasty trio starting today in Wendy's restaurants nationwide or through Wendy's mobile app. The Salted Caramel Frosty will join the Chocolate Frosty on menus, replacing the Vanilla Frosty, for a limited time at participating U.S. Wendy's.
