Sweet Cinnamon Churro Buns

Cinnabon's Churro Swirls Will Become a Permanent Menu Fixture

— March 12, 2019 — Lifestyle
Cinnabon may be known for it's warm and fluffy cinnamon buns, but its Churro Swirls have an equally devoted following. In fact, the rounded churros are so popular that the chain is about to make them a permanent menu addition.

Cinnabon's Churro Swirls consist of fried pastry dough rolled into a tight, cinnamon roll-like shape, instead of the traditional stick shape. The swirls are then baked and coated with Makara cinnamon-sugar. The Churro Swirls are also served with your choice of two new dipping sauces: warm Ghiradelli Chocolate or Smooth Caramel. For something truly indulgent, you can also purchase the Churro Frosting Sandwich, which sandwiches a layer of Cinnabon's signature cream cheese frosting between two cinnamon-crusted Churro Swirls.
