Chick-Fil-A, known for its iconic cow billboards and fried chicken patties iconically nestled between biscuits, is sweetening up its dessert menu by offering a new cookie, an updated brownie and several sundaes; it's also bringing back its seasonally available Banana Pudding Milkshake starting today. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie is fresh-baked, and the chain has tucked some oats in with the dark and milk chocolate chunks; the revamped Fudge Brownie is iced with fudge frosting, filled with chocolate chunks and no longer contains nuts. And the trio of new sundae offerings include a Fudge Brownie Sundae, Chocolate Chunk Cookie Sundae and a Mini Sundae with Hershey's chocolate syrup, whipped topping and oh, yes -- a cherry on top.

The new sundaes appear to be constructed from Chick-Fil-A's new baked goods, which seems pretty efficient, but how do these desserts stack up to others in the fast-food universe?

Chick-Fil-A has a lot of unlikely fans in the metro area; stay tuned for a full review from Jenn in Chains -- with a cherry on top.
