Savory Meets Sweet: Popeyes Resets the Dessert Game

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. has once again taken a bold step to tantalize the taste buds of food lovers across the nation with a bakery revolution, trading typical chocolate chip cookies for something much more groundbreaking - Chocolate Chip Biscuits. These biscuits, filled to the brim with chocolate chips, are a new take on the old classic.

This delicious creation is an extension from the success story of its predecessor, the beloved Strawberry Biscuit. The dessert biscuit variant builds on the concept of their picture-perfect buttermilk biscuit, stuffing it generously with rich and creamy chocolate chips. If this creation seems more akin to breakfast than dessert, a finishing touch of expertly drizzled icing transports it straight back into dessert territory.

For those who may desire something other than chocolate chips, or perhaps just want to indulge in double the dessert delight (no eyebrows raised here), Popeyes is also unveiling a new Apple Caramel Cheesecake. This sumptuous addition is described as a richly-flavored cheesecake entwined with a lusciously sweet and tangy caramel apple filling, all resting atop a buttery-crumbly graham cracker crust.

Starting August 5, these delicious dessert additions - both the Chocolate Chip Biscuit and the Apple Caramel Cheesecake - are available for your indulgence nationwide. These new treats join the ranks of the already enticing dessert menu and do not replace any existing treats. Hence, you can still get your hands on their tried-and-true Cinnamon Apple Pie, not to mention partake in combining the strawberry and chocolate biscuits for a mouth-watering, chocolate-covered strawberry biscuit.

For those who want their dessert with a side of savory, Popeyes also plans to introduce their new $20 and $25 Bigger Boxes come August 12. The $20 Bigger Box delivers the choice of ten pieces of Popeyes' classic chicken or ten juicy tenders, complemented by four well-loved buttermilk biscuits. If you need a little more chicken you can opt for the $25 Bigger Box, which gives you the same offering plus four regular sides.

Popeyes caters to solo diners as well by bringing back the tantalizing $6.99 Big Box, which proffers two chicken pieces or three tenders, two regular sides, and one buttermilk biscuit.

Who can argue that these sweet delights would not pair heavenly with Popeyes' legendary fried chicken sandwich? Back in May, the brand had revamped its famed menu offering that incited the great chicken sandwich war back in 2019 - introducing the Golden BBQ Chicken Sandwich. With its buttered, toasted brioche bun and pickles, and options to enhance with Havarti cheese or Applewood smoked bacon, it is a tantalizing treat worth trying.

Keep in mind, though, that the Chocolate Chip Biscuits, Apple Caramel Cheesecake, and Big Boxes are ephemeral pleasures available for a limited duration. So don't wait too long, make the trip over and treat yourself - you absolutely deserve it.
