First and foremost people know the brand and often associate it with quality products. Let’s talk about Annie’s Cinnamon Rolls. because of it’s organic label, people have high expectations. The frosting is very creamy, just maybe a little too sweet in flavor. But it doesn’t have a strong fake flavor like some brands, it’s still ok.

The rolls themselves were soft and a bit flaky to bite into. Honestly, they didn’t impress me very much this time around. They had a very light cinnamon flavor that was almost forgettable. You know it’s there, but the flavor doesn’t linger on you for long. I still wish the cinnamon spice flavor was stronger.

However, they provide a solid foundation for trying new things. Add some fresh fruit, or a little more cinnamon sugar. That way, you can create something wonderfully delicious.
