The waffle creation will be one of three variations of the Double to hit participating restaurants across the nation.
KFC will bring back its iconic Original Double, featuring the new crispy fillets, and its beloved Zinger Double.
The Double first hit shores Down Under in 2011 — becoming a fan-favourite — from the likes of the Zinger Mozzarella Double to the Pizza Double and Zinger Tower Double.
Tami Cunningham, chief marketing officer at KFC Australia, expressed excitement about the menu items.
“As one of our most requested menu items, we’re thrilled to bring back the iconic Double, this time with a sweet new twist,” Cunningham said in a statement sent to 7NEWS.com.au.
“We’re confident fans will be eager to try the new Waffle Double and Original Double, along with the returning Zinger Double.
“This triple Double threat won’t be available for long, so mark your calendars and join the excitement.”
But don’t “waffle on any longer” as the Double range will only be around for a limited time only.
The range will be available from June 11 to July 8 at participating KFC restaurants across Australia, as well as through the KFC app.
