CHOCOLATE HITS DIFFERENT: CINNABON INTRODUCES NEW CHOCOLATE BONBITES, FIRST-EVER CHOCOLATE-FILLED BAKED TREAT IN U.S. BAKERIES

For a limited-time, Cinnabon drops the cinnamon and transforms popular BonBites™ into a chocolate-only treat as a new way to help fans satisfy cravings   

ATLANTA, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The rumors are true! Cinnabon, known around the world for its ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls, today introduced Chocolate BonBites to bakery menus nationwide, making it the first time that U.S. bakeries offering Cinnabon's signature bite-sized cinnamon rolls will *drumroll please* not feature its famous cinnamon flavoring.

Chocolate BonBites are a new, chocolatey take on the beloved Cinnabon BonBites treat, baked with Cinnabon's classic dough, layered with a rich, chocolate schmear on the inside and topped with both chocolate frosting and Cinnabon's signature cream cheese frosting. Fans can get their hands on Chocolate BonBites at mall bakeries, Maverick and Pilot Flying J Travel Center locations and order on the new Cinnabon mobile app or via food delivery platforms, for a limited time this summer.

"We're a bakery-inspired brand, and that gives us the permission to experiment and get creative with new and popular dessert flavors, such as chocolate, within our treats," said Michael Alberici, Vice President of Marketing, Cinnabon. "We know chocolate is a classic, familiar flavor that Cinnabon fans love, and we are confident that guests nationwide will enjoy new Chocolate BonBites, too, no matter the occasion – whether it's a summer gathering or an anytime chocolate craving."

While the addition of new Chocolate BonBites makes this a hot "chocolate" summer at Cinnabon, fans can still cool down with the brand's signature MochaLatta Chill®, an irresistible combination of chocolate and coffee blended into a refreshing yet chocolatey beverage sure to hit different than any other iced drink.
