16 Handles’ Dubai Chocolate Frozen Yogurt
Ever heard of Dubai chocolate? Yes, the same chocolate bar that went viral on TikTok and Instagram in 2024. It features crispy knafeh, pistachio, and tahini paste, wrapped in a casing of milk chocolate, but thankfully, you can now enjoy this indulgent treat in different formats. Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake is getting a rival with 16 Handles‘ new Dubai Chocolate frozen yogurt flavor, dropping this April 16.
The new froyo flavor from 16 Handles perfectly captures the luxuriousness of the Dubai Chocolate by combining a creamy pistachio-rich base with crushed milk chocolate bites and cocoa. Each bite offers a burst of artisan green filling and melty chocolate pieces. But if that’s not enough, you can upgrade this new flavor by mixing in other toppings for added crunch. The Dubai Chocolate frozen yogurt flavor will be available at all participating 16 Handles locations across the country.
The launch is happening after the successful release of other new flavors at 16 Handles, including the Mango Lassi, which was based on the popular Indian yogurt-based tangy drink. The brand also released its own Oat Milk soft-serve product, now part of its frozen dessert menu.
According to 16 Handles’ CEO, Neil Hershman, their international flavors this year have been a hit and brought in new customers. They’re thrilled to have the latest viral treat on the menu and excited to “froyo-ify” it for a unique experience.
Auntie Anne’s OREO Topped Nuggets
If you love Auntie Anne‘s original pretzel nuggets, then you need to try the brand’s new twist on this crowd-favorite. Say hello to OREO Topped Nuggets! That’s right, the brand partnered with OREO to release this new irresistible treat. This launch is coming off the heels of Auntie Anne’s introduction of a brand-new menu innovation, Topped Nuggets.
The new OREO Topped Nuggets feature freshly baked pretzel nuggets with a cookies n crème and OREO crumbles for toppings. As per the brand, this snack will send you to “sweet treat heaven” and it’s now available at participating Auntie Anne’s locations. The OREO Topped Nuggets are here for a limited time only, so grab yours while they’re still around.
Cinnabon’s OREO Topped Bon
Here’s another cookie-topped dessert collaboration you shouldn’t miss. Cinnabon also partnered with OREO to combine their classic cinnamon roll with the iconic cookies. OREO Topped Bon is coming to the Cinnabon store near you, featuring a warm cinnamon roll topped with OREO crumbles and a rich chocolate sauce. The result? Ultimate indulgence! Fans can also look forward to other topped innovations from the brand, starting with the OREO Caramel Coffee Topped Bon, to be released in May 19.
