What is Sonic Cinnasnacks Recipe
If you’ve ever pulled up to a Sonic Drive-In and ordered their warm, gooey Cinnasnacks, you know exactly how addictive they are. These little golden bites are stuffed with sweet cinnamon filling and served hot with cream cheese frosting — basically, everything good in one bite. I craved them so much I decided to try making a copycat version at home, and let me tell you — they turned out amazing.

You only need a few basic ingredients to bring that Sonic flavor home:

- 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Serving Sonic Cinnasnacks Recipe
These are best served warm, right out of the oven. I like to dip mine in a little homemade cream cheese icing — just like Sonic does. Perfect for breakfast treats, cozy snacks, or dessert when you want something cinnamony and comforting.

FAQs Sonic Cinnasnacks Recipe
1. Can I use crescent dough instead of puff pastry?
Yes! Crescent roll dough also works great and gives a slightly softer texture.
2. Can I make these ahead of time?
Definitely — prep them the night before and bake in the morning for fresh results.
3. How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crispy texture.
4. Can I freeze Cinnasnacks?
Yes, freeze unbaked and pop them straight into the oven when you’re ready!
