To calculate the total number of specials available using the Fundamental Counting Principle, you multiply the number of choices for the entrées by the number of choices for the desserts.

Here, there are:
- 8 entrées
- 5 desserts

The total number of specials can be calculated as follows:

Total specials = Number of entrées × Number of desserts
Total specials = 8 × 5 = 40

Thus, the total number of specials available is **40**.
