I tried Popeyes’ new strawberry-frosted biscuit — and I’m glad I finally don’t have to order jelly with my meal

Fast food chain Popeyes just released a new biscuit flavor, but you better move fast — the strawberry-flavored pastry is only here for a limited time. The strawberry biscuit was launched at participating locations on March 27, so I decided to visit the Popeyes closest to me to give them a try before it's too late. , the new addition is a "springtime pick-me-up" available for $1.79 each. "The perfect combination of our classic, buttery biscuits and the flavor of ripe, fruity strawberries, Strawberry Biscuits offer a delicious touch of sweetness to any meal," Popeyes Vice President of Culinary Innovation Amy Alarcon said in a statement. My first bite of the new dessert didn't taste much different than the standard biscuit that comes with each meal, and initially I wasn't very impressed. However, as I reached the soft the center of the pastry, I realized the sweet addition made my usual side of jelly less than necessary to enjoy the baked good. Though the biscuits have been available for less than a week, the treats have already sparked debate online. Many users expressed concern about the amount of calories in each biscuit, though some appeared to misread the nutrition facts.
