The anticipation was palpable.

And finally, the summer's hot new dessert was revealed.

Drum roll please! The latest creation by the Cronut mastermind is.... A pretzel lobster tail! Yum!

Wait, what?

The pretzel is stuffed with peanut butter and served with whipped brown butter and honey. Grub Street reports that the seafood shape is an homage to an Italian pastry.

With a little bit of glamor lighting, the tails look nothing short of delicious.
