Cinnabon is now offering a bit of chocolate-bon.

For the first time, the company’s U.S. bakeries will sell an item that doesn’t feature the company’s famous cinnamon flavoring. The new Chocolate BonBites will be available in Cinnabon’s U.S. bakeries for a limited time this summer.

Offering a chocolatey take on the company’s well-known Cinnabon BonBites treat, they’re baked with Cinnabon's classic dough, layered with a chocolate schmear on the inside, and then topped with both chocolate frosting and Cinnabon's signature cream cheese frosting.

"We're a bakery-inspired brand, and that gives us the permission to experiment and get creative with new and popular dessert flavors, such as chocolate, within our treats," said Michael Alberici, VP of marketing, Cinnabon. "We know chocolate is a classic, familiar flavor that Cinnabon fans love, and we are confident that guests nationwide will enjoy new Chocolate BonBites, too, no matter the occasion – whether it's a summer gathering or an anytime chocolate craving."

The Chocolate BonBites are available at mall bakeries, Maverick, and Pilot Flying J Travel Center locations and to order on the new Cinnabon mobile app or via food delivery platforms. They're available in a 4-count or shareable 16-count pack, starting at $4.79.
