Sonic Cheesecake Bites



Recently both Arby's and Sonic introduced cheesecake bites to their menus. I sampled Sonic's offering today by ordering the "large" 5-piece version for $2.49. For those attempting to maintain a facade of portion control, Sonic also packages a set of 3 for $1.99.

Turning cheesecake into a finger food was a brilliant idea. After being breaded up the resulting units are more than a cubic inch each. After consuming them with the Caramel Cinnamon Drizzle dip, I am pleased to say that they are a warm and timely winter addition to the dessert offerings at Sonic. Turning I suspect that someone realized that demand for ice cream Blasts might decline when arctic blasts come to town.

As of now, this item is not listed in the nutrition information at Sonic's website. I'm fairly certain, however, that this probably falls under the "sparingly" category of the food pyramid. In retrospect, the 3-piece serving would be plenty for one person, and the 5-piece is enough sweet tooth satisfaction for two.
