King’s Hawaiian Just Got Into The Gingerbread Game

You can usually rely on King’s Hawaiian to deliver the goods. The bread brand’s seasonal and limited-edition drops, like its Maple Brown Sugar Rolls (which came with a matching sweatsuit) and Minions-approved Banana Shake ‘Em Bites, have left plenty of people impressed over the last few months, and with its newest release, it’s beginning to feel like a bit of a winning streak. King’s Hawaiian has just announced a new batch of gingerbread-flavored rolls…and now it feels like Christmas.

I’m already thinking about how you can use these in some festive recipes, too. I’m just making myself hungry over here. 

King’s Hawaiian Sweet Gingerbread Rolls

This week, King’s Hawaiian launched its new, limited-edition Sweet Gingerbread Rolls. Each roll is a fairly straightforward, but pleasing combination of its sweet rolls with a warming gingerbread spice. It’s not the first time King’s Hawaiian has opted for gingerbread flavors: Last year, it did so in an even more direct (and arguably way more festive) fashion, by releasing a limited-edition gingerbread house kit for its 75th anniversary. We guess you could still build a house of a 12-pack of these rolls. Use them as bricks. Grab some icing for cement. You could have a palace of your very own making. 

It’s worth noting, though, that these won’t be as easy to find as other King’s Hawaiian products. In fact, unless you’re on its website, you won’t find them at all. These are an online exclusive, and customers can order a maximum of four packs. They’re also not available just yet, so keep an eye on the page linked above for the release, as these could well sell out quickly. 

Oh, The Possibilities…

If you do end up splurging on four packs of these new Sweet Gingerbread Rolls, there are plenty of ways you could put them to use. Gingerbread stuffing is the recipe that came immediately to my mind: Make a version of Nigella Lawson’s recipe by swapping in these rolls for gingerbread loaves, or sub it in for your standard bread cubes in your regular Thanksgiving stuffing recipe for a sweet, fiery kick. You could also let them get stale for a couple of days, slice them up, and turn them into gingerbread croutons, which would work beautifully scattered over a pumpkin soup. And is it too out there to put them in a tiramisu, subbing them in for the ladyfingers to make a festive dessert? I personally don’t think so. All bets are off here.
