The new Apple Butter Concrete blends Vanilla Frozen Custard with Apple Butter, Vanilla Wafers, and gooey Apple Pie filling for a dessert-like bite. And of course, Rita's fall menu wouldn't be complete without the return of the fan-favorite Pumpkin Pie Concrete, which delivers a familiar comfort for our guests with Vanilla Frozen Custard blended with Pumpkin Crème and Vanilla Wafers, for a spoonful of classic autumn flavor. For guests who can't decide between these iconic fall treats, Rita's has you covered with the best of both worlds! Introducing the new Harvest Swirl Concrete, where smooth Apple Butter meets the fan-favorite Pumpkin Crème, blended with Vanilla Frozen Custard.
