Hot Pockets are offered in varieties that are savory, cheesy and filled with meat but the brand is now introducing a line of Sweet Treats that explore the flavors of cinnamon. The Hot Pockets Sweet Treats are available in Apple Cinnamon and Cinnamon Roll varieties, each of which has a flaky pastry crust and a pie-like filling—the Cinnamon Roll variety even includes sweet cream cheese on the inside, mimicking the indulgent icing that's often seen atop a cinnamon bun.
Although they introduce a new flavor experience for fans, the Sweet Treats can be prepared in the same way as classic Hot Pockets, as they only need about a minute in the microwave or some time in the oven to make them extra crispy.
