Fall is for pumpkin, apples and … taco salads.
Wendy’s released three new fall-inspired menu items, all of which will be available starting on Nov. 12. Rather than the expected Thanksgiving-adjacent flavors, the fast food spot’s new items take on some new tastes.
The limited-time salted caramel Frosty is described as providing “warm and cozy comfort in every chilly bite,” per a press release. The dessert will replace the vanilla Frosty upon its arrival, a source at Wendy’s confirmed to PEOPLE. Plus, per the source, the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, the Spongebob Squarepants-inspired flavor introduced on Oct. 8, will also get the boot when the salted caramel flavor is released.
The mushroom bacon cheeseburger is another of the fall menu items. The funghi-forward option stacks roasted mushrooms, bacon, Muenster cheese and creamy garlic spread on top of a beefy patty.
The last of the new autumnal additions is an upgraded taco salad. Wendy’s has previously sold the Mexican-inspired dish but this new version has a creamy salsa dressing, fire-roasted corn, tortilla strips and chili. The original iteration had chili, tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa.
The vanilla Frosty’s departure was clued in as soon as it came back to menus in mid-September. A Wendy’s spokesperson told PEOPLE at the time that “nothing on our menu is meant to last forever” and that they “don’t have an exact date that the vanilla Frosty will roll off of menus.”
The original flavor was taken off the menu for the triple berry and orange dreamsicle flavors that were available in spring and summer 2024. Before those fruit-forward options, the vanilla Frosty was replaced by peppermint, pumpkin spice and strawberry Frostys.
The other departing Frosty, the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, wasn’t a seasonal flavor but was still a timely one.
The tropical-flavored treat was in honor of Spongebob Squarepants' 25th anniversary and part of Wendy’s Krabby Patty Kollab that became available earlier this month.
The Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty took inspiration from the cartoon’s iconic fruit-shaped home. This sweet choice combines Wendy’s beloved vanilla Frosty with a swirl of pineapple-mango puree.
The limited-time menu also included a Krabby Patty Kollab Burger, which sandwiches a beef patty, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and a “top-secret” Krabby Kollab sauce between a toasted bun, per a press release.
