Frosted Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts are being launched by the brand in this winter to provide consumer with a simple way to enjoy the signature flavor of the baked good. The pastry is arriving back after being discontinued a few years ago and starts off with the signature flat profile of the original before being filled with a [cinnamon roll filling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-cinnamon-roll-cookies). The [toaster pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-original-donut-shop-poptart) is then topped with a [thick layer of white icing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnarolls) to further complete the cinnamon roll-inspired taste and texture.

Frosted Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts come in eight-count and 16-count boxes priced starting at $3.99, and are slated to start hitting store shelves in the weeks ahead. The toaster pastries are baked in the USA.
