All things food—trendy or just downright delicious—are great. But sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the food news out there. To help you stay in the know, here are the four new foods that you need to get your hands on today.
TL; DR
+ You can now ship a 5-pound cinnamon roll to your BFF (or yourself), because this is America and why not?
+ Dunkin' Donuts is testing out cinnamon donut fries on the menu, and that just feels right
+ Breyers Delights (their healthier ice cream option) now comes in a mini size, so you don't feel sick after downing a whole pint
+ Baskin Robbin's has new cookie ice cream cakes, so your graduation party is gonna be lit
A 5-pound Cinnamon Roll Exists, and You Can Ship One Anywhere
Yes, let me repeat that for the people in the back—a 5-pound cinnamon roll exists. This beauty comes from the people at Wolferman's, an online gourmet gift shop owned by 1-800-Flowers. They're apparently trying to break the Guinness World Record for the world's biggest cinnamon roll on April 10 (aka Cinnamon Roll Day), and to celebrate, are selling these "mini" versions of the big one.
Dig into the sweet cinnamon and sugar dough and 12 ounces of cream cheese icing with 40 of your best friends for $49.99 (plus shipping). But plan the party fast—this roll is only around while supplies last.
Dunkin' Donuts Is Testing Out Donut Fries, and Other Snacks You'll Eat in Under 60 Seconds
OK, so technically, Dunkin' is testing out seven new snackable items on menus in Boston, all for $2. The items range from sweets like cookies, munchkin dippers (genius!), and a gluten-free fudge brownie, to more savory (and somewhat random) items like waffle breaded chicken tenders, ham and cheese rollups, and pretzel bites.
However, the real star of the show is the donut fries. Instead of frying a potato, they fried dough and rolled it in cinnamon and it just feels right. Fingers crossed they come to stores nationwide soon.
Breyers Version of Halo Top Now Comes in a Mini Size, Making Them the Perfect Snack
Breyers Delights Vanilla Cupcake and Creamy Chocolate flavors now come in mini 4-ounce sizes. They weigh in at around 70-80 calories and five grams of protein in each, making for a pretty sweet snack.
Many healthy ice cream brands tend to promote eating a whole pint by listing out the low-cals on the label front and center, but in reality, nothing good comes from eating a pint of any ice cream. Be real, the last time you did that you got a stomachache and laid in your bed the rest of your night—nothing healthy about that. So snack on these smaller sizes and put your sweatpants away. Just kidding, sweatpants are awesome and should be worn at all times.
Baskin Robbin's Has New Cookie Ice Cream Cakes, and Wait, Why Is This Just Now a Thing?
Baskin Robbin's is combining cookies with your choice of ice cream to make the best treat ever! But seriously, I need to find an excuse to throw a party ASAP and get one of these. The cakes come in two customizable varieties.
The Celebrations Cookie Cake is a 9 inch cake made with chocolate chip cookie crusts that sandwiches a layer of ice cream (the flavor is up to you!) and is topped with whipped topping, rainbow sprinkles and colorful icing. The second is a Fudge Brownie 'n Oreo version made with two 9 inch brownie crusts, with ice cream in the middle, topped with whipped topping, fudge drizzle, a fudge border, and yes, Oreos! We'll let you decide which one is the best.
