FOODIES rejoice! Chick-fil-A have confirmed when the fan-favorite Heart-Shaped trays will be available – and it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day.
According to the fast food retailer, they will be available to buy beginning January 27 through February 22, while supplies last.
The return of the trays is the perfect excuse to dig in with some friends or your significant other, or just treat yourself during love season – but let’s face it, do you really need an excuse?
The trays are filled with 30 Chick-fil-A Nuggets, 10 Chick-n-Minis (during breakfast hours only), 12 Chocolate Fudge Brownie halves, or six Chocolate Chunk Cookies.
The price of the tray will vary depending on which option you order.
They will also only be available at certain restaurants, but can be ordered online and in the restaurant – simply contact your local Chick-fil-A location to check if the trays will be in stock.
The news was shared on Instagram by @snackolator, and fans couldn’t contain their excitement.
One commented on the post: “My man better get me this.”
And a second tagged a friend and wrote: “Can’t wait til you get me this.”
Another boasted that the trays are “the truest form of love.”
“I’m going to show myself how much I love me,” someone else wrote, suggesting they were planning on treating themselves to the tasty trays.
The news comes just after the restaurant became one of the latest fast food chains to add robots to its arsenal of workers.
The chain followed Chipotle’s lead, recruiting a lemon-squeezing machine to automate its process for making lemonade.
Alongside its beloved waffle potato fries and chicken sandwiches, many Chick-fil-A customers are die-hard fans of the chain’s signature lemonade.
The popular beverage is made with just three ingredients – cane sugar, filtered water, and real lemon juice – the latter requiring much employee labor.
The arduous task of squeezing lemons took up around 10,000 hours of work each day across all Chick-fil-A locations.
The fast food chain has turned to lemon-squeezing robots to automate the process, according to a Bloomberg report this week.
The magic happens at Chick-fil-A’s huge 190,000-square-foot factory north of Los Angeles, California, larger than the average Costco store.
The plant has machines that squeeze up to 1.6 million pounds of citrus with minimal human input before sending off bags of lemon juice to Chick-fil-A restaurants across the US.
The lemon-squeezing robots free up in-store employees to serve diners faster, according to Chick-fil-A.
The fast food chain also aims to make working at Chick-fil-A more appealing by eliminating the time-consuming process.
