GLENDALE, Calif., July 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IHOP®
Restaurants today unveils its latest menu creation, French Toasted Donuts, the new limited time offering shaking up the breakfast
world. A pioneer in unexpected flavor combinations and breakfast firsts, IHOP continues to break the rules of breakfast with this
distinctive dish hot off the test kitchen griddles. With flavor combinations sure to incite reactions including (but not limited
to) happy dances and eyebrow raises that soar to new heights, the newest addition to the IHOP menu will bring smiles to guests
nationwide. Featuring classic donuts dipped in sweet vanilla batter and then French toasted, the new lineup is available in three
craveable, mouth-watering flavors ranging from savory to sweet:
- Bacon & Maple French Toasted Donut – Bavarian cream filled donut, dipped in vanilla French toast batter,
griddled, then topped with rich maple glaze and savory hickory-smoked bacon crumbles
- Strawberries & Cream French Toasted Donut – Bavarian cream filled donut, dipped in vanilla French toast batter,
griddled, then topped with strawberries in a juicy glaze and powdered sugar
- Apple Fritter French Toasted Donut – Warm apple fritter dipped in vanilla French toast batter, griddled, then topped
with sweet cinnamon apples, powdered sugar and whipped topping
"At IHOP, we're always looking for fresh new ways to excite our guests and bring unexpected flavors together," said Chef
Nevielle Panthaky, Vice President, Culinary at IHOP. "This is a delicious mash-up of the classic
donut everyone knows and loves, dipped in a creamy vanilla batter, French toasted to a light golden brown and topped off with
flavors such as maple glaze and hickory-smoked bacon. And who better to do it than IHOP, the brand that has owned all-day
breakfast for almost six decades?"
To introduce the new menu item, IHOP is launching a fully integrated cross-channel campaign that spans television, public
relations, social media, digital, and an immersive event to bring French Toasted Donuts to life. IHOP is bringing a unique
