Archer Farms Bite-size Cinnamon Rolls

Quick review:

Not really a standard cinnamon roll, since they are very small and lack frosting, so they don’t qualify for a rating, but good in their own way. Less of a hit to the diet, too.

Quick review:

A bit dry, and the frosting tastes artificial, but good value for the money. 5/10

The short:

Cinnamon rolls from a tube that actually taste good.  Way, way better than anything from Pillsbury.  6/10

The long:

I’ll get straight to the point: these rolls come in a tube, are baked in your oven, and taste good.  I almost can’t believe I just wrote that.  Cinnamon rolls.  From a tube.  That taste good!

The bread crust has a pleasant crispness.  The bread interior is moist without being gummy.  The icing — vanilla — tastes a bit artificial, but is one of the better mass-produced efforts.  Oh, and you know how a cinnamon roll is supposed to be, you know, a roll?  These come through with flying colors: roll layers that separate like a champ!

There are actual layers!

I won’t go so far as to say that they’re better than what you’ll find at a bakery — because they’re not — but compared to the crap that Pillsbury stuffs in cardboard, the Immaculate Baking rolls are in a totally different league.

Then again, at $5 per tube (or $1 per half-height roll), they had better be bringing a party to my mouth.
