Is it just me, or do cravings always hit at the most inopportune times?
For me, my desire for breakfast food gets me when I'm farthest from my kitchen — like during my morning walks, running errands or while I'm on the subway.
So, when Wendy's dropped their new Homestyle French Toast Sticks I knew I had to try them out.
These sweet sticks are an on-the-go reinvention of the classic sit-down breakfast Canadians all know and love. But now, when those cravings hit, I can enjoy homestyle French toast without actually being at home.

The French Toast Sticks are the first sweet addition to Wendy's new breakfast menu, which officially launched Canada-wide in May last year with items like the Breakfast Baconator and Frosty-ccino.
Appearance-wise, Wendy's French Toast Sticks are aptly named: They look just like authentic slices of French toast cut up into — you guessed it — sticks!
Golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these moreish bites are made with bread, whole milk and freshly cracked eggs, which give them an unmistakably eggy flavour — just like homemade French toast.
They're delightfully crispy, giving each mouthful a nice crunch before you get to the pillowy vanilla-custard interior.

Not particularly sweet on their own, Wendy's Homestyle French Toast Sticks come served with a side of syrup, which means you can personalize the sweetness level of each one by dunking, dipping or drizzling your way to French-toast perfection.
But the best part about these portable French toasts is that you can tuck into them pretty much anywhere.
I enjoyed mine both at home and while on a walk around my neighbourhood. The grab-and-go sticks and dippable side of syrup are convenient enough to be eaten wherever you're going.

The new French Toast Sticks are definitely worth a try, especially if your breakfast cravings (like mine) hit while you're out and about. They also make a great snack if you're on the road before 10:30 a.m. and want to pick up something quick and tasty.
You can snag Wendy's new Homestyle French Toast Sticks in a four- or six-piece serving or in a combo with coffee and seasoned potatoes. There's also the three-piece kids' meal, which comes with a drink and a choice of apple slices or seasoned potatoes.
