The Ultimate Fast Food Pie: Discover Why This Chain’s Delight Outshines the Rest!

Chowhound recently reviewed eight fast food pies, and almost all were fruity, including the classic pumpkin pie. Surprisingly, McDonald’s apple pie, known by many, was ranked low on the list. This might be because it’s hard to find their original fried version. Instead, Burger King’s Hershey’s Sundae Pie took the top spot with its rich chocolate flavor.

What sets the Hershey’s Sundae Pie apart is not just the taste but also the way it looks. Unlike other fast food pies that you can hold in your hand, this one is served as a slice in a triangular box. Eating it with a fork feels more like enjoying a homemade dessert, giving it an edge in the experience department.

The pies were judged on the filling and crust. Questions about the crust’s flakiness and the balance of flavors helped rate them. While the Hershey’s Sundae Pie has a chocolate crust, its crunchiness is what makes it appealing. The filling includes a creamy mixture of chocolate and vanilla, all topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips. It’s a delightful treat all around.

Burger King has a long history of delicious desserts. The Hershey’s Sundae Pie isn’t their first foray into chocolate pies. In 2018, they introduced a Twix Pie made with a crumb crust, caramel, and chocolate cream. Before that, they offered a Snickers Pie, blending chocolate and caramel flavors delightfully. Sometimes they even featured a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie at select locations.

Once, they even sold an apple pie, presented as deep-dish instead of the usual handheld version. Many fans mourned its loss when it was discontinued due to supply issues. But Burger King often surprises us with new treats, and if past limited-edition pies are any indication, the next dessert could be a winner.

Whether you’re enjoying the Hershey’s Sundae Pie or something new in the future, consider pairing it with one of Burger King’s coffee drinks. Made from 100% Arabica beans, they are a perfect match for a rich chocolate treat.
