Taco Bell is looking to put a sweet twist on one of its most popular items with the launch of a new Creme Brulee Crunchwrap Slider at select locations.
Part of a test at locations in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, the new Creme Brulee Crunchwrap Slider consists of a creamy vanilla filling and a cinnamon-sugar-coated mini tostada shell, all folded up in a flour tortilla that's coated in a cinnamon-sugar crust and then grilled until warm and caramelized on the outside. Because it's a slider, the new dish is smaller than the original Crunchwrap Supreme.
The new Creme Brulee Crunchwrap Slider is the first-ever dessert Crunchwrap, and could mark an exciting new avenue for the brand.
