The KFC Cherry Pie Poppers are making their way to the QSR brand's participating locations as a sweet treat that's perfect for helping consumers to conveniently enjoy the flavor of a classic pie dessert.
The menu item starts off with a flaky pie crust that's filled with a warm cherry pie filling to give them the sweet, signature flavor of cherry pie in every slice. The pie-inspired bites come as a smaller version of conventional QSR pie desserts and come in orders of four and 10 priced at $2.49 and $5.49, respectively.
The KFC Cherry Pie Poppers are a limited time offering that are launching just in time to coincide with the beginning of the cold weather months when consumers crave more substantial flavor experiences.
