Review: Arby's - Outside-In Cinnamon Bites

Arby's new, limited-time Outside-In Cinnamon Bites are somewhat somewhat gimmicky but different take on the common cinnamon rolls. It's more like a beignet stuff with cream cheese and cinnamon though. Three slightly bigger than bite-sized pieces can be had for a buck.

Each Cinnamon Bite is nice and crusty with just enough slightly flaky crumb to keep it interesting. If you've had a beignet before, the crust will be very familiar. Look and texture-wise, I was reminded or a pizza roll or rather how a pizza roll should be.

The Outside-In Cinnamon Bites aren't very sweet or very cinnamon-y. I'm actually liked that it wasn't too sweet but I'm afraid some might find them too bland.

The filling was just lukewarm and would have been better a little hotter (I'm sure that'll vary though). I got mostly cream cheese flavor with a little cinnamon thrown in. There are two separate fillings inside but I think they're both cream cheese with one being colored brown with cinnamon flavor added. I could have used more cinnamon flavor. Perhaps a dusting on the outside?

As it stands, they're probably closer to Outside-In Cream Cheese Bites.
