American bakery chain Cinnabon has announced that it will be adding eight new ready-to-bake products to its grocery line, which will be sold exclusively at Walmart locations throughout the United States. According to the brand, the new products arrive as a celebration of National Cinnamon Roll Day.
The new lineup of desserts will be launched in two phases. The first phase, which will roll out on Oct 1, will include two types of cookie dough, frosted mini bites, and a cinnamon coffee cake. The second phase will kick off on November 1 and will include four desserts: two additional types of cookie dough, chocolate chip brownies, and red velvet cake.
“Just in time for National Cinnamon Roll Day, these new premium ready-to-bake cookie doughs and ready-to-heat desserts showcase our hunger for innovation and provide another way for fans to get their hands on the Cinnabon taste they know and love," said Dave Mikita, president of global channels.
