Cinnamelts

What is it?

Warm cinnamon roll bites baked together in a small cluster, then topped with melted cream cheese icing. Each piece is soft and doughy inside, with a slightly browned, sticky exterior from the cinnamon-sugar coating. They were served warm in a box and meant to be pulled apart by hand, so you get a mix of edge pieces and softer centers in the same order. Introduced by McDonald’s in 2007, these sat alongside other breakfast pastries in the chain’s lineup until 2017. Unlike a full cinnamon roll, the format here is bite-sized and shareable, with more surface area for icing and caramelized spots.
