EASY ON THE GO MEAL

French Toast Dips at Carl's Jr. and Hardee's are amazing. Jessica's kids love them; it is a quick meal that is satisfying. They are the perfect way to fuel parents and kids alike as they get back into their morning routines. The five golden brown dips, sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with a side of syrup, are so good and filling.  In certain locations, get these delicious and flaky biscuits that are made from scratch! For more information, visit www.carlsjr.com or www.hardees.com.
