French toast smoothie or horchata shake? You decide!

Making my way back from Las Vegas last night, I suggested we stop at Sonic in Victorville -- since it's a rarity here in Southern California -- and grab a snack.

To my delight, I saw they had a Sticky Bun Dough Blast. Of course, I was curious to know if it was good or not, so I asked the lone carhop, the very helpful K3vin. He said it was pretty good, so I decided it was worth a shot.

I'm very glad I did.

Sonic's "Blasts" are their equivalent of a McFlurry/Blizzard/etc. -- ice cream with candy or other sweet treats blended in. The Sticky Bun Dough Blast has bits of sticky bun dough -- sweetly cinnamony with a hint of maple syrup flavor -- and praline pecans blended throughout and sprinkled on top, with a dollop of whipped cream. What a delicious treat!

Of course, at 578 calories for a regular size, it's not something you want to have every day, but as a very occasional treat I'd have to say it was worth the extra calories.

I just couldn't decide if it tasted more like French toast or horchata. You'll have to try one for yourself and let us know. Don't wait too long...the Sticky Bun Dough Blast is only available for a limited time.
