Okay, yum. We love an option that’s not eggs or oatmeal every once in a while – and what could be better than French Toast in dipping form? Nothing. I mean, just look at them!

Burger King’s French Toast Sticks are not exactly the healthiest breakfast. They are high in sugar and are basically just deep-fried carbs. But if you’re in the “treat yo’ self” kind of mood, these are the perfect go-to.
