Butterfinger® Unveils French Toast Flavor

Fans of Butterfinger—get ready for a delicious surprise! After much anticipation and excitement on social media, the beloved candy brand has officially announced the arrival of Butterfinger® French Toast. This innovative flavor is set to hit store shelves soon, joining the ranks of other delightful offerings from the brand, including Salted Caramel and Marshmallow.

The distinctive Butterfinger® taste, which features a crispy, crunchy texture combined with a peanut butter center, is now enveloped in a French toast-infused coating. This new creation promises to deliver the sweet, syrupy goodness associated with weekend brunch, making it a perfect indulgence any time of day—no sticky fingers required!

Yann Bastien, Vice President of Marketing for Butterfinger, expresses his excitement about this launch: "French toast is a classic that spans generations. Everyone loves it—moms used to make it, diners serve it at any hour, and friends always ask for it at brunch. Our goal was to transform that universal craving into something you can enjoy anywhere and anytime. This is truly comfort food blended with inventive candy innovation."

Collaboration with Chef Dominique Ansel

To elevate this launch further, Butterfinger has teamed up with renowned French pastry chef Dominique Ansel, known for creating the iconic Cronut®. From February 27 to March 1, Chef Dominique's famous Dominique Ansel Bakery in SoHo, New York, will introduce a special Butterfinger French Toast-inspired Croquembouche. This is a classic French dessert, literally meaning "crunch in mouth", that Chef Dominique has reinvented using Butterfinger's unique textures and flavors.

The Croquembouche will be made of five choux pastry puffs, each filled with delightful flavors:
1. Peanut Butter Caramel: A fusion of peanut butter cinnamon ganache, complete with Butterfinger crumbles and garnished with caramel glaze.
2. Maple Cinnamon: This is filled with maple cinnamon ganache and adorned with a smooth, creamy milk chocolate glaze.
3. Butterfinger: Choux puffs filled with rich Butterfinger ganache and topped with a caramel glaze and Butterfinger crumbles.

Chef Ansel shares his inspiration, stating, "French Toast has always been a favorite brunch dish of mine. After tasting the new Butterfinger French Toast flavor, I was inspired to create a unique way to enjoy Butterfinger that also captures the essence of that classic flavor. This new twist on a French croquembouche embodies those beloved crispy textures, and I hope it invokes nostalgia for everyone who tries it!"

This limited-edition pastry will only be available at Dominique Ansel Bakery during that special weekend, so be sure to get yours early while supplies last!
