Bite-Sized Cinnamon Buns

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Burger King Brought Back Its Popular 90s Treat 'Cini Minis'

— December 27, 2018 — Lifestyle
'Tis the season for warm and fluffy cinnamon rolls, and Burger King has answered the call with the return of its beloved 'Cini Minis.'

This past November, Burger King announced that it would be bringing back Cini Minis—a menu item that was beloved by Burger King fans in the 90s. As the name might suggest, Cini Minis are bite-sized cinnamon rolls made with Burger King’s signature cinnamon sugar and served with a side of creamy sweet icing for dipping. The mini cinnamon buns are sold in packs of four, making them perfect for sharing.

To celebrate the return of the baby buns, Burger King even offered customers a free side of Cini Minis if they ordered $10 or more on Burger King fare through the delivery service Grubhub—an undeniably sweet deal.
