Two new Universal Orlando Annual Passholder (UOAP) treats – a Crème Brûlée French toast and Chocolate Peanut Butter Explosion milkshake – are now available from Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen at Universal CityWalk Orlando.
UOAP Exclusive Treats at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium
Crème Brûlée – $14.95
Crème Brûlée on French toast with vanilla maple syrup and Grand Marnier macerated berries
The first item we tried is the “Crème Brûlée” French toast.
The “Crème Brûlée” glaze gives the toast a nice crunch while the rest is soft and served piping hot; however, we would still describe this as more French toast than Crème Brûlée.
The macerated berries are warm and not overly sweet, but the French toast is sweet enough. The berries do not make the toast soggy due to the added crunch of the Crème Brûlée. The chocolate-covered strawberry is typical but a nice garnish for this treat.
Overall, this is a very good dish. We recommend splitting this between two people, but one person could definitely enjoy this for themselves.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Explosion – $18
Chocolate ice cream mixed with peanut butter and chocolate sauce, chocolate whipped cream, Reese’s Pieces, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate peanut butter pie
While the concept and presentation may have chocolate and peanut butter fans rejoicing, we find this milkshake to be a little disappointing.
After deconstructing the desert, we tried the pie topper first. This chocolate peanut butter pie is more peanut butter than chocolate and it’s just standard. However, the Reese Cup is deliciously cold and crisp — not melted or stale as one might expect as a milkshake topper.
The description lists a chocolate whipped cream, but we were given a normal, non-flavored whip. We’re not sure if they were out or if this was a mistake. The Reeses Pieces are a fine addition as a topping.
The milkshake itself just tasted like chocolate at first, and we were a little disappointed. We did get a hint of peanut butter flavor after a few minutes of sipping, though.
Regardless, the flavors lacked balance throughout the entire dessert. It wasn’t bad, but we preferred the French toast out of the two.
