For years, Baskin-Robbins’ Flavor of the Month for October has been the Trick Oreo Treat Ice Cream that features vanilla ice cream with orange créme-filled Oreo cookies, Baby Ruth pieces, and Butterfinger candy pieces.

Jack in the Box Brunchfast

Jack in the Box did something crazy again.

The fast food chain created a portmanteau using another portmanteau. That’s crazy.

They also rolled out their Brunchfast Menu with a bunch of new entrees and sides.

One of the highlights of the menu is the Bacon & Egg Chicken Sandwich. It features crispy all-white meat chicken topped with a fried egg, American cheese, hickory smoked bacon, and bacon mayo on a toasted English muffin.

The sandwich has 649 calories, 39 grams of fat, 301 milligrams of cholesterol, 1629 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 37 grams of protein.

Then there’s the Brunch Burger, which is different than the one Jack in the Box offered in 2013 as a Munchie Meal. The burger has a 100 percent beef patty, a fried egg, American cheese, two slices of hickory smoked bacon, and mayonnaise on a buttery croissant. The older version also had a hash brown.

It has 770 calories, 55 grams of fat, 22 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 322 milligrams of cholesterol, 732 milligrams of sodium, 32 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 37 grams of protein.

Dunkin Donuts OREO Flavored Hot Chocolate

Dunkin’ Donuts is teaming up with Mondel?z International to offer an Oreo-flavored hot chocolate. If you’re having deja vu right now, it’s understandable because 7-Eleven offered an Oreo hot chocolate late last year.

The Dunkin’ Donuts Oreo Hot Chocolate features the flavors of cookies and crème and will be available throughout the fall and winter months at participating locations.

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

FAST FOOD NEWS: McDonald’s Testing Toppings for their Hotcakes

McDonald's Hotcake Toppings

For decades the only two toppings you were given for your McDonald’s Hotcakes were butter and pancake syrup. But the fast food chain is now testing other toppings. Impulsive Buy reader Brad H sent in this photo taken at a McDonald’s in Naperville, IL.

The options include whipped cream with strawberries or chocolate chips, or just whipped cream. They are also topped with a cherry. The ingredients appear to be items that are normally found in McDonald’s kitchens. The whipped cream and cherries are used as toppings for the chain’s milkshakes, the chocolate chips are from the McCafé Frappé Chocolate Chip, and the strawberry topping might be the same stuff on the strawberry sundae.

These are ingredients that McDonald’s have had for a while, so I’m surprised the chain hasn’t done this sooner.

If you’ve seen these topping at a McDonald’s near you, let us know in the comments.
