The cinnamon bun is crafted with the [signature Cinnabon cinnamon roll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-x-warheads) with Makara cinnamon and cream cheese frosting, and is topped with ample amounts of crispy bacon bits and a caramel drizzle. The result is a sweet, meaty and slightly salty flavor that will work perfectly for avid fans of the original cinnamon buns to try out. The Schlotzsky’s Bacon Bon is priced at $4.29 and also comes in a MiniBon version priced at $3.29 each. The menu item is making its way to participating locations now, but only through June 2, 2024.
