We have some exciting news, but also a bit of a letdown for some vanilla Frosty enthusiasts who know that when a limited-time flavor arrives, the vanilla Frosty temporarily disappears from the menu. The Frosty machines can only handle two flavors at a time, and the OG chocolate Frosty has a permanent spot.

When Wendy’s launches new or seasonal Frosty flavors—like last summer’s Triple Berry Frosty or this spring’s Orange Dreamsicle Frosty—the vanilla has to make way for the newcomer.

Currently, vanilla Frosty is on pause while its spot is used to churn out Pineapple Under the Sea Frosties, inspired by the SpongeBob-themed Krabby Patty meal. But it looks like vanilla Frosty fans will have to wait a little longer to see it return. Wendy’s has a new flavor debuting on Nov. 12, and it’s worth getting excited about—unless you’re a die-hard fan of the vanilla or pineapple versions, in which case you might see this as bittersweet news.

Instagram’s Snackolator shared a sneak peek of the upcoming Frosty flavor, saying, “I feel like I've waited my entire life for Wendy's to drop this Frosty flavor!” While it’s surprising Wendy’s took this long to introduce it, the restaurant has confirmed that a Salted Caramel Frosty is hitting menus on Nov. 12.

Here’s how Wendy’s describes the new Frosty: “Rich, salty caramel perfectly balanced with Wendy’s iconic sweet and creamy Frosty treat. A spoonful of warm and cozy comfort in every chilly bite, available for a limited time.”

A warm and cozy comfort that gives you brain freeze? We’ll overlook the irony in that description because salted caramel in a Frosty sounds too good to pass up. (Honestly, is there any sweet treat that salted caramel doesn’t improve?) Snackolator’s followers seem just as thrilled about the Salted Caramel Frosty.

“Salted caramel will be mine!” one commenter declared, while another said, “This flavor is what dreams are made of.”

We agree. We can’t wait to dive in, suffer a little brain freeze, and then dip our Wendy’s fries into that salted caramel goodness.
