Now would’ve been an optimal time to come out with Pumpkin Pie Poppers, but instead, KFC came out with these new Cherry Pie Poppers. But what do I know? I’m just some guy with a calendar. <\/p>\n

Maybe pumpkin pie doesn’t pair well with the Colonel’s secret blend of 11 herbs and spices. Or perhaps these are Halloween-themed because the cherry represents blood, and these were supposed to be called Cherry Die Poppers. But the promotional materials for Cherry Pie Poppers were already made and shipped, so here we are. <\/p>\n

These are a follow-up to KFC’s Apple Pie Poppers<\/a>, which came out earlier this year, and just in time for the Fourth of July season, which apple pies are most known for here in the US. (Okay, they came out over two months before Independence Day, and I’m not 100 percent sure apple pies are a summer thing, but it seems correct.) This newest dessert is filled with warm cherry pie filling wrapped in a flaky crust, and it’s available in 4- or 10-piece orders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The crust is wonderfully buttery and flaky, and I love the sound of the crispy layers crackling as I bite into them. There’s a tiny bit of sweetness, but I wish it was a bit more sugary or glazed like a pre-packaged convenience store fruit pie pastry. Within the flaky layers is a cherry filling that wasn’t overly sweet or tart. But it also wasn’t sweet or tart enough to really stand out. However, that might be due to the filling-to-crust ratio leaning too much on the crust side because it did seem like the cherry goo was a bit thin in my order’s four pieces. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Due to its lack of a robust fruity flavor, KFC’s Cherry Pie Poppers were a bit underwhelming, and I don’t see myself ordering it again any time in the future.<\/p>\n
