Arby's - Cheescake Poppers —

I think cheesecake is one of my most favorite desserts, so I was really excited when I heard Arby's was offering new cheesecake poppers. I thought what could be better than a biteful of tasty cheesecake that could be eaten on the go, and at about $3 I thought it was a bargain. I don't eat fast food much, but these new poppers sounded like the perfect reason to indulge. Well, I was really disappointed. I had no idea this was a fried dessert until I got to the restaurant and read the advertisement. I still thought since I was there I needed to try them, and I shouldn't have. Each serving is six poppers that look greasy on the outside. Not the warm graham cracker coating I was expecting. At the first bite, there was a crunch, and the oil that they were fried in masked all the flavor of the crust. Inside was a gooey cheesecake center which was a little sweet, but tasted more like a pudding than a set cheesecake. I tried the first popper plain and was not impressed. The poppers do come with a tasty raspberry dip, which actually tastes like a fresh raspberry preserve and saved the poppers. The raspberry sauce was just the right amount of fruit and sweet to make the poppers edible. I was just disappointed by this dessert, and with about 300 calories and 15 grams of fat per serving, it is not worth it.
