Panera Introduces New Creme Brulee Bites

In addition to the launch of its new Frozen Signature Hot Chocolate, Panera introduces new Creme Brulee Bites as a limited-time dessert that complements the Creme Brulee Latte, which debuted as part of this year's fall menu.

The Creme Brulee Bite is a mini buttery vanilla cake topped with brown sugar streusel crumb and salted caramel sugar. It can be purchased individually or in a pack of three and is similar in concept to the bakery-cafe chain's regular menu Brownie Bites (a mini fudge brownie topped with chocolate chips and brownie crumbs.

Prices vary, but a Creme Brulee Bite costs $1.99 at my local Panera branch here in Los Angeles, while a 3-pack costs $5.

Panera is also offering a limited-time $1 soup deal where you can get a cup of soup for $1 with an in-app purchase of a whole entree using the code "SOUP" at participating locations.
