Inspired by a viral social media trend, Freddy’s Smash Burger Taco is crafted with a grilled flour tortilla stuffed with Freddy’s signature steakburger patty, American cheese, and topped with lettuce and Jalapeño Fry Sauce.

Freddy’s Hot Chocolate Frost is made by blending Freddy’s freshly churned vanilla frozen custard with Ghirardelli® Hot Cocoa Powder and marshmallow cream. The frost is topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with hot cocoa powder.

“Freddy’s new Smash Burger Taco takes all the elements our guests love about our signature steakburger and reimagines it into a craveable, perfectly snack-sized option for midday cravings—a premium-quality thin-pressed patty with deliciously crispy edges, melted American cheese, lettuce, and zesty Jalapeño Fry Sauce, all wrapped in a warm tortilla,” said Rick Petralia, Director of Menu Strategy & Innovation. “For guests seeking the perfect winter dessert, our Hot Chocolate Frost strongly evokes the experience of enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. The Ghirardelli Hot Cocoa adds a premium, decadent flavor to our creamy vanilla frozen custard and pairs seamlessly with the rich marshmallow cream.”
