Now would’ve been an optimum time to come back out with Pumpkin Pie Poppers, however as a substitute, KFC got here out with these new Cherry Pie Poppers. However what do I do know? I’m just a few man with a calendar.
Perhaps pumpkin pie doesn’t pair properly with the Colonel’s secret mix of 11 herbs and spices. Or maybe these are Halloween-themed as a result of the cherry represents blood, and these had been purported to be known as Cherry Die Poppers. However the promotional supplies for Cherry Pie Poppers had been already made and shipped, so right here we’re.
These are a follow-up to KFC’s Apple Pie Poppers, which got here out earlier this 12 months, and simply in time for the Fourth of July season, which apple pies are most identified for right here within the US. (Okay, they got here out over two months earlier than Independence Day, and I’m not one hundred pc certain apple pies are a summer time factor, however it appears right.) This latest dessert is full of heat cherry pie filling wrapped in a flaky crust, and it’s obtainable in 4- or 10-piece orders.
The crust is splendidly buttery and flaky, and I really like the sound of the crispy layers crackling as I chunk into them. There’s a tiny little bit of sweetness, however I want it was a bit extra sugary or glazed like a pre-packaged comfort retailer fruit pie pastry. Inside the flaky layers is a cherry filling that wasn’t overly candy or tart. But it surely additionally wasn’t candy or tart sufficient to essentially stand out. Nevertheless, that is likely to be as a result of filling-to-crust ratio leaning an excessive amount of on the crust aspect as a result of it did appear to be the cherry goo was a bit skinny in my order’s 4 items.
As a consequence of its lack of a sturdy fruity taste, KFC’s Cherry Pie Poppers had been a bit underwhelming, and I don’t see myself ordering it once more any time sooner or later.
