When Cinnabon Candy Bars Roamed!

CC_Cinnabon TITLE PLATE

Looking for something fun and unusual to post over the weekend, I happened upon my assortment of Cinnabon wrappers and decided they’d be the perfect subject for today’s entry.

It wasn’t long ago that the Cinnabon chain briefly entered the world of candy wrapper confectionery. Partnering up with the Standard Candy Company, folks best known for their Goo Goo Clusters, Cinnabon released a series of bars back in 2007-2008.

As one might expect, the Cinnabon offerings came out a bit like a deluxe range of Cinnabon-inspired Goo Goo Clusters, and that’s pretty tasty-sounding to me.  Here are the wrappers in my collection:

Standard Candy Company - Cinnabon - Cinnamon Pecan Roll - candy wrapper - 2007

Standard Candy Company - Cinnabon - Cinnamon Mousse Pecan Cluster - candy wrapper - 2007

Though I only had that trio of wrappers in my own collection, I found a fourth on my pal Brad Kent’s wrapper archive:

And that’s everything that came out of Cinnabon’s brief entry into the candy wrapped world.

Before I close out today, I just wanted to apologize for my lack of consistent content the last few weeks.  I’ve been stretched a wee bit thin on my non-candy work this past month, but I hope to get on top of that soon and be back to posting here on a semi-daily schedule.  I’ve got so many great things to share – and I’m dying to bring it all together here.

See you next time!
