Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers and Hershey’s have introduced three new frozen custard treats for the holiday season and I suspect my principles on too much dessert are about to be tested.

We’re talking peanut butter, cookie dough, toffee, caramel, cheesecake, and marshmallow sauce.
It’s a wonder they managed to narrow it down to three desserts.
Freddy’s New Hershey’s Desserts Arrived November 4th
The first addition is the Peanut Butter Blossom Cookie Concrete, featuring vanilla frozen custard, cookie dough, Reese’s Peanut Butter Sauce, and Hershey’s Chocolate Chips.
I have a weakness for cookie dough. The kind you’re supposed to put in the oven but end up eating straight from the bowl while waiting for the first batch to bake. I know. Salmonella. I’m aware. Fortunately, this version comes in frozen custard, so I can indulge without having to pretend I’m helping with the baking.
Next is the Heath Caramel Cheesecake Concrete, featuring cheesecake, caramel sauce, a double portion of Heath Toffee, whipped cream, and cinnamon streusel. A double portion of toffee. Oh, my.
And then we have the Hershey’s Snowfall Sundae, featuring Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce, marshmallow sauce, Hershey’s Chocolate Chips, whipped cream, and a cherry. I do wonder how many people have ever looked at a sundae and thought, “You know what this needs? More chocolate.” Actually, quite a few, probably. Myself included.
The three desserts launched at participating Freddy’s locations nationwide on November 4th.
There’s Also A Returning French Onion Steakburger
I nearly missed this part of the announcement because I was too busy thinking about cheesecake.
Freddy’s is also bringing back its French Onion Steakburger, featuring two steakburger patties, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, crispy onions, and French Onion aioli on a toasted bun. I have to give Freddy’s credit for the sheer amount of onion involved here.
Grilled onions. Crispy onions. Onion aioli. ONION.
At this point, the burger could be described as an onion convention, with two steakburger patties turning up as special guests. And I’m rather fond of French onion soup, so the idea of all those sweet, savory flavors packed into a burger is appealing. Although I do wonder whether this is the sort of meal you should eat before a first date.
Probably not.
Unless your date also orders one.
Then I suppose you’ve found your person.
There’s a Hershey Movie Deal, Too
And in a development I wasn’t expecting, there’s a movie involved.
Freddy’s is also offering guests who visit during the promotion a buy-two-get-two-free ticket deal for Hershey, a film arriving in theaters nationwide on November 25th.
I started reading this announcement expecting frozen custard. Somehow, we’ve ended up with onions and the cinema.
How Long Are Freddy’s New Desserts Available?
The three Hershey’s frozen custard treats and the returning French Onion Steakburger will be available at participating Freddy’s restaurants through January 5, 2027.
That gives you a little over two months to try them, assuming you don’t spend the entire holiday season eating leftover Christmas cookies.
I think I’d start with the Heath Caramel Cheesecake Concrete. Although the Peanut Butter Blossom Cookie Concrete is making a strong case for itself, too. And I haven’t forgotten about the Snowfall Sundae. This is becoming a difficult decision.
